Musk reflected on his early years, mentioning his background in physics and economics and how he initially planned to pursue a PhD at Stanford. Instead, he chose to dive into the internet revolution, starting with Zip2, followed by X.com (PayPal), which he sold profitably.

His relentless drive, curiosity, and philosophical outlook have propelled him to the heights of technological innovation and space exploration.
