Elon Musk

Elon Reeve Musk, called the real life 'Tony Stark', is known for his revolutionary work in space and automobile transportation. Through SpaceX, Musk attempts to push the envelope in space exploration, with an aim to send humans to outer space and enabling colonisation of Mars. The business magnate is also the CEO of Tesla Motors, an automobile company specialising in electric cars.


As of October 20th, Musk, 45, is the 34th richest person on earth with an estimated net worth $11.7 billion. Besides SpaceX and Tesla, Musk's other successful ventures include PayPal - a worldwide online payment system, OpenAI - a non-profit research company that aims to promote artificial intelligence development, and SolarCIty - a solar panel designer and installer.

There have been recent incidences which put Elon Musk in bad spotlight, like the SpaceX rocket explosion in September and the infamous Tesla car crash, in which the driver died in Florida after his Tesla Model S crashed into a tractor trailer while it was on the autopilot mode.

Elon Musk is a South African born Canadian American. He currently lives in Bel Air, Los Angeles.
