Motivational Success Story Of Elon Musk - From Bullied Boy To Billionaire Who Will Change The World Elon Musk was born in South Africa. He was a bookworm and awkward young boy, who was really interested in computers and sci-fi. Instead of hanging out with friends, he spent a lot of time reading. "I was raised by books. Books, and then my parents." When his parents got divorced, Musk said he felt sorry for his dad and decided to move with him. But, he soon realized that wasn't a good idea. In one interview Elon described what he said was a “miserable” childhood. His father was emotionally abusive and tough on his children, allegedly ordering Musk and his brother "to sit silent for four hours as he lectured them". Musk was also brutally bullied in school. His classmates pushed him down a concrete stairwell. One time he was beaten so badly that he needed to go to the hospital. How his life changed? When Elon Musk got his first computer, he immediately got interested in programming and started to learn by himself. At the age of 12, he earned $500 by selling a computer game Blastar, which he had created by himself. When he was 17 he moved to Canada to attend Queen's University. Two years later He transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where he received an economics degree and a degree in physics. He began a Ph.D at Stanford University in 1995 but dropped out after two days to pursue an entrepreneurial career. When I was in college, I wanted to be involved in things that would change the world. – Elon Musk He sold his first company Zip2 for 300 million dollars at the age of 26 .
