In 1995 he started Zip2 with his brother Kimbal, sold it to Compaq, and put almost everything into X.com, which became PayPal. In 2000 the board fired him while he was on a flight for his honeymoon. After eBay bought PayPal in 2002, he put his money into SpaceX, Tesla, and SolarCity. By late 2008, three Falcon 1 rockets had failed and both SpaceX and Tesla were nearly out of cash. The fourth launch reached orbit on September 28, then NASA's contract came on December 23 and Tesla's funding came on Christmas Eve. After that came the first rocket landing in 2015, Falcon Heavy and Starman, Model 3 production hell, the SEC trouble, the Twitter takeover, the rename to X, xAI, SpaceX's record IPO, and the first trillionaire. #ElonMusk #HistoryOfElonMusk #SpaceX #Tesla #CompanyHistory New company history videos on CEOzoned.
