From then on he continued to teach himself coding and hasn't looked back ever since.

The 51-year-old world genius made headlines in 2022 after he bought off Twitter at $44 billion and now owns 82% of the online platform and has also become the CEO.

The business magnate joined Tesla in 2004 and became the biggest shareholder when he bought it via a $6.5 million angel investment and took over as CEO in 2008.

The controversial tech genius also owns Space Exploration Technologies Corp famously known as Space X.

The American spacecraft manufacturer, space launch provider, and satellite communications corporation, has its headquarters in Hawthorne, California.

Elon is a brilliant opportunist who always seems to get the most out of his businesses. In 2016, he launched Boring Company -an  infrastructure and tunnel construction services company based in Los Angles, California.

 So far the tunnel company has given Musk a Net-worth of 127 billion Us dollars as of 2022.

The tunneling company is aimed at defeating Traffic through the construction of intra-city transit systems.

According to Forbes magazine, Elon Musk has 10 kids.
