  Elon Musk got rejected by Netscape. He walked into the lobby, was too shy to talk to anyone, and walked out. Never got the job. At his first company Zip2, the board demoted him. Twice. They refused to let him be CEO. He got fired from PayPal as CEO while flying to his own honeymoon. The board voted him out mid air. He almost died of malaria in 2000. Ten days in intensive care. Lost 45 pounds. A day from death. His first child died at 10 weeks old. His first rocket exploded. Falcon 1, flight one. Burned on the pad. His second rocket exploded. His third rocket exploded. The last of his money was nearly gone. Tesla nearly went bankrupt in 2008. The closest he ever came to a nervous breakdown. Both companies almost died on the same Christmas Eve. He was sued by investors. Mocked by the people who built cars before him. His childhood heroes, the astronauts who inspired him, testified against his company to Congress. The Cybertruck window shattered on live stage in front of the world. He overpaid for Twitter by his own admission and watched its value collapse. He was beaten unconscious as a child and thrown down a flight of stairs. He has said he goes to sleep alone and it kills him. He failed in public, over and over, for thirty years. He is the richest man in the history of the world. The difference was never the absence of failure. It was the refusal to stop after it.

  @JWalters314 Created PayPal - sold it. Used $$ to start Tesla and SpaceX. Tesla re engineered the auto industry.Spacex is doing the same with space commerce. His "wealth" reflects the sum total of the entire infrastructure built and yet to come. He did solve problems.

  @PayPal I also found a "call us" interface that opens an in-webpage phone app(???) with... another AI assistant, which is also broken. So I'm shuffling money between accounts and hoping it gets there before @PayPal cancels it entirely (time-sensitive). They're asleep at the wheel.

  Elon Musk wasn’t born a trillionaire. He sold a game he made as a kid. He taught himself programming. He built Zip2 and sold it. He co-founded PayPal and sold it. Instead of retiring rich, he put most of his money into Tesla and SpaceX when both companies were struggling. At one point, he was so close to losing everything that Tesla and SpaceX were on the brink of collapse. Most people see the trillion dollars. Few people see the years of risk, failure, criticism, sleepless nights and near-bankruptcy that came before it. The lesson isn’t that you should chase money. The lesson is that extraordinary wealth often follows extraordinary value creation, relentless persistence and the willingness to bet on yourself when nobody else will. Build skills. Solve problems. Take calculated risks. Stay in the game longer than everyone else. That’s how fortunes are made.

  @SmashJT Funny I'm 45, I've some how managed to have savings, retirement plan, and could likely by a house in the near future. I own a new car. I have insurance. Funny thing is I suffered the .com boom, the exportation of my job, being forced into a bad economy in my 20s making it difficult for me to find a job. Yet some where in all of that mess I managed to "embrace my dreams" and not make life decisions so bad that it would cripple me for the rest of my life. Your time is valuable, if you spent it on a shotty degree and become a game journo for the rest of your life, then thats on you. Elon was starting paypal when you decided to be a games journo. I don't think its the trillionaires fault. The phrase, pulling yourself up by your boot straps actually does mean something. Mean while I've seen a legal immigrant get into real estate, start a youtube channel for his passion, and make significant amounts of money on both while raising a family a beautiful family. The problem isn't the process, its how you prove the system right by not investing in you, because you didn't invest in yourself.

  @delilaartx honestly the professionalism is the least of the issues. the real problem is that minors can't legally sign a contract for commercial use, and their paypal or strepie can get frozen at any second for tos violations.

  @HKurusee Receiving USD was easier before... but recently.. BML has been holding incoming TTs for weeks and asking for layers of documents as if every legitimate business payment is a crime scene.. So the problem is no longer only sending dollars out... even bringing dollars in has become painful!! PayPal may be useful.. but it does not fix the real disease: a broken dollar system pretending to be compliance!!

  On the same day Elon Musk became the first trillionaire in human history New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani announced he wants to tax billionaires like Musk to fund his agenda. Here is what that argument misses entirely. Elon Musk did not inherit a trillion dollars. He built Zip2 from scratch. He reinvested into PayPal. He bet everything on Tesla and SpaceX when both were on the verge of collapse. He slept on factory floors. He nearly went bankrupt in 2008. He kept building when the world laughed at him. That is not luck. That is capitalism working exactly as intended. The idea that the moment someone succeeds the government’s first instinct should be to take more of what they earned is exactly why entrepreneurs leave high tax states and cities in the first place. New York is already losing residents faster than almost any state in America. Threatening to tax the people who create jobs and drive innovation is not a solution. It is the problem. Congratulations to Elon Musk. The first trillionaire. Built not given.

  In August 2008, Elon Musk was squatting in the wreckage of SpaceX’s failed 3rd Falcon 1 rocket. Both Tesla and SpaceX were on the verge of collapse. The global financial crisis was in full swing. This wasn’t a billionaire playing startup. He was effectively broke. After selling PayPal, Elon walked away with $176 million. He poured $100 million into founding SpaceX and tens of millions more into Tesla which he joined in 2004 and became CEO of in 2008. By mid-2008, he had burned through almost all of it. He was down to his last $35 million. He split that final $35M between the two companies instead of saving himself. He took loans from friends, slept on factory floors, and at one point said he ran out of cash entirely. Forbes wasn’t calling him a billionaire. Most people had never heard of him. Then came the turning point: • SpaceX’s 4th Falcon 1 launch succeeded on Sept 28, 2008 (first privately-funded rocket to reach orbit). • Tesla closed a desperate funding round days before bankruptcy. He bet everything when almost no one believed it would work. Today he’s the first Trillionaire while effectively making a lot of factory workers rich. Insane stuff.

  @DayalSami Actually, Elon Musk is wealthy because he hasn’t started with nothing, invested his own efforts and money and reinvested his efforts and money, even when idiots were laughing at him for things like PayPal, laughing that electric cars would never work and laughing about his rocket Company Now that everything he’s done has made $1 trillion they want to ***** about how much of what Elon earned they deserve. Social media is the most antisocial thing ever, but what it does really well is reveals who the selfish greedy ******** of the world are, and they’re not the guy that created jobs and solve problems and Bill products that people want, their people that think they deserve any of what he has done when all they’ve done is complain.
