Elon Musk is the most consequential entrepreneur of the 21st century — simultaneously leading Tesla, SpaceX, X (formerly Twitter), xAI, and the Boring Company across industries ranging from electric vehicles and space exploration to AI and social media. Born in Pretoria, South Africa in 1971, Musk co-founded Zip2 and X.com (which became PayPal), then used the proceeds to fund SpaceX and transform Tesla from a startup into the world's most valuable automaker. SpaceX became the first private company to send humans to orbit and to land and reuse orbital rockets, fundamentally changing the economics of space. With an estimated net worth exceeding $300 billion, Musk is the wealthiest person in history.
