The Chinese woman Deng Wendi is a rather legendary figure, and some people even say that if Deng Wendi was born in ancient times, he was probably a woman on par with Wu Zetian, and here I would like to quote a sentence: "Men conquer women by conquering the world, and women conquer the world by conquering men." ”
Because most people often define this woman by a woman's husband and son, "international media tycoon" Rupert Murdoch was once the husband of Deng Wendi, but Deng Wendi's long-time friend Meyer Musk is the mother of Tesla founder Elon Musk, enjoying the title of "Silicon Valley Iron Man".
Meyer Musk was a model in his early years, married Toral Musk at the age of 22 as a mechanical and electrical engineer in South Africa, but Errol Musk was not a qualified husband, and after marriage, he was violent and had an affair, so Meyer Musk divorced her husband through legal means at the age of 31 and got custody of the children.
However, Errol Musk was not without influence in elon Musk's growth process, Elon Musk was inspired by his father to have a strong interest in science and technology, at the age of ten, Elon Musk used his pocket money and his father's money to buy the first computer in his life.
Of course, Meyer Musk attaches great importance to the education of his children, and at that time, Meyer Musk was in a difficult period of life, and had to work 5 jobs to support his own livelihood and his children's livelihood, and encouraged the children to develop in the direction they were interested in.
In 1983, at the age of 12, Elon Musk designed a space game software called "Blastar", which was then sold to a magazine for $500 to get the first pot of gold in his life, and Elon Musk was undoubtedly greatly encouraged.
When we were 21 years old, there was no clear plan for the future, even if someone imagined the future, I am afraid that it is also developing in a relatively "reliable" direction, or imagining, but did not do much, but Elon Musk in his early 20s studied economics at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, but began to pay deep attention to the Internet, clean energy and space.
Later Elon Musk achieved great success and was considered to be at the forefront of the world, Elon Musk thanked his mother, Meyer Musk, saying: "My success comes from my mother's cultivation and her maverick character. ”
For a time, the spotlight focused on this adventurous and strong woman, and Meyer Musk also generously shared his parenting experience with everyone, saying: "In the education of children, I just insist on one principle, that is, let them follow their own interests." ”
In 1995, at the age of 24, Elon Musk entered Stanford University to pursue a doctoral program in materials science and applied physics, but on the second day after enrollment, Elon Musk willfully shelved the course and left the school to start a business.
Elon Musk and his brother Kamba Musk went to Silicon Valley and pulled in random angel investments to start Zip2, a company that develops online content publishing software for news organizations, which is a new starting point for Elon Musk.
Four years later, the American computer manufacturer Compaq acquired Zip2, elon Musk and Camba Musk made a profit of $22 million, Elon Musk went on to start the "X.com" with two and partners, and the following year, X.com merged with Conffinity to form PayPal.
In 2002, PayPal was acquired by Ebe, the world's largest online company at the time, and Elon Musk, as PayPal's largest shareholder, received $165 million, joining the ranks of billionaires, and in June of that year, Elon Musk founded Space Exploration Technology.
Most people know that "Tesla Motors" is "Tesla Motors", but the Falcon 9 rocket developed by Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technology Company successfully launched the "Dragon Spacecraft" into Earth orbit, which is the first spacecraft in the history of the world to be launched into space by a private company and can successfully turn back.
In March 2021, Elon Musk ranked first in the 2021 Hurun Global Rich List with a wealth of 1,280 billion yuan, surpassing Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to become the world's richest man.
Meyer Musk has three children, in addition to Elon Musk's fame, another son Kamba Musk is a tesla board member, and is also the founder of the National Restaurant Chain, daughter Tosca. Musk set up an independent film production company "Musk Entertainment".
