SpaceX had just survived its third consecutive rocket failure in a row. Musk had already put over $100M of his PayPal money into both companies, and was personally so cash-poor he was borrowing money from friends to cover rent. “I remember waking up the Sunday before Christmas in 2008, and thinking to myself, man, I never thought I was someone who could ever be capable of a nervous breakdown. I felt this is the closest I’ve ever come, because it seemed pretty dark.” A last-minute financing round, pulled together by existing investors, closed at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve, 2008. “That funding round completed 6pm on Christmas Eve in 2008. Last hour of last day possible, as investors were leaving town that night and we were 3 days away from bankruptcy.” Days earlier, on December 23, NASA had awarded SpaceX a $1.6B cargo resupply contract, its first major win after three straight Falcon 1 failures. The Department of Energy’s ATVM program, created that same year to fund fuel-efficient vehicle development, eventually gave Tesla access to a loan facility as well, money the company only drew down starting in 2010, once it was reimbursing actual invoices rather than surviving on the promise of it. Six months later, in June 2009, General Motors filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, needing a federal bailout to survive. Musk has called 2008 the worst year of his life. He was also getting divorced at the same time. Tesla didn’t file. It went public a year later.

  Elon Musk sat for his first television interview in 2007 with $37 million behind him and 2 companies that had shipped nothing. Wired Science, one camera, a host working from a script about a rich man's hobby. The money was 8 years old by then - Zip2 sold at 27, then the company eBay bought as PayPal. None of it shows. He sits in a cubicle at SpaceX with engineers on all sides. In at 9:30. Out at 8 PM. No fixed hours. The host asks whether he ever considered the beach and the beer and the sunset. Musk says that would be torture. The host laughs at him twice - once about his age, which Musk puts at 12, and once when he asks, on camera, whether we really went to the moon. Then the interview stops being about money. Musk says after college he picked 3 problems: the internet, space, and moving the economy off mined and burned hydrocarbons to solar electric. He gives 80% of his week to SpaceX and 2 to 3 days a month to Tesla. On the moon he is blunt - 1969 we walked on it, 3 decades later we can barely reach low Earth orbit. The moon is the Arctic. Barren, small, nowhere to put a civilization. "We saw that movie in the 60s. The remake's never as good." NASA, he points out, is not a rival. NASA is a customer. Falcon 9 lifts Dragon to the space station and brings it home, replacing the shuttle from 2011. Asked who is chasing him, he says nobody with a serious chance of catching. On Branson he does the math out loud: 9 units of energy to reach Mach 3, 625 to reach Mach 25, and all of it burns off again on reentry. Different league. He had already bought a ticket. The Tesla part is a business plan, not a car pitch. The Roadster runs 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds, beats every Porsche in production and every Ferrari but the Enzo, doubles the efficiency of a Prius, and 2007 production is nearly sold out. New technology enters at high price and low volume, so the sports car comes first. Model 2 is a $49,000 sedan. Model 3 lands near $30,000. None of it had been built. The host asks why you can't buy one yet. "We haven't made them yet." The tape is 19 years old. Nothing on it was a guess.

  The best decision PayPal ever made came out of a clash between its leaders. Max Levchin wanted to build security software for Palm Pilots.  Peter Thiel saw limited market potential and pushed back hard.  Neither softened the message. Neither backed down easily. Out of that collision came a pivot to sending money over email that led to a $1.5 billion acquisition by eBay. Reid Hoffman described the culture simply: "We had a culture of arguing to improve the idea. It wasn't personal. It was about making the best product possible." That's the model. Fight for your position, stay open to being wrong, and let the best idea win. When talented people argue honestly toward the truth, great things get built.

  CBS filmed a 27-year-old Elon Musk sleeping in his office in 1998 and 18 months later he sold the company for $307M Rita Braver brings a Sunday Morning crew to Palo Alto. Bad haircut. Cheap suit. He shows them the couch he sleeps on and the YMCA down the street where he showers. The company is Zip2. Maps, directions, yellow pages, white pages - the first versions of all of it on the internet, sold to newspapers that still print on paper. He wrote the code himself in 1995, at 23, weeks after walking out of a Stanford PhD. No web server, because a web server burns CPU he doesn't have. He reads port 8080 directly. No money for a Cisco T1 router. He pulls the spec sheet and writes his own emulator. Braver asks him about the internet. He calls it the superset of all media. Says television, print and radio all collapse into one pipe. Two-way. On demand. Whatever you want, whenever you want it. In 1998, that sounds like a kid who read too many magazines. The segment airs. The tape goes in a box. 1999: Compaq buys Zip2 for $307M . His cut is about $22M . He doesn't buy a house. He puts it into Xcom. Xcom becomes PayPal. PayPal becomes the money that starts SpaceX and Tesla. 26 years later somebody uploads the tape to YouTube. 23,000 views. The odd part isn't that he was right about the internet. It's that nobody in that room believed him, and it cost him 0 seconds. He wasn't predicting the future. He was describing his own desk.
