Who Is He?

     He was born in South Africa. His parents were divorced when he was age 10. Sounds like a road to failure.

     He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with $100,000 in debt. Then he started a company that combines business listings and mapping software. He sold it for $300 million, of which he got about $20 million. 

     Then he quit working and turned to a life of partying. 

     Not.

     He invested into founding a website that developed into PayPal. After selling that, he was $180 million richer. 

     Then he invested in cars and spaceships. SpaceX delivers cargo to the International Space Station. An early investor in Tesla, he became CEO when the company was five years old. Tesla has sold over 2 million electric cars. 

     Entering a world that many people live in, he bought Twitter and vowed to make it, "the most accurate source of information about the world." He supports free speech, criticizes progressive ideology, and backs renewable energy, but not climate change. 

     He isn't so successful in relationships. Two marriages ended in divorce, and he's known to have fathered nine children with three women.
