Risk, Power, and Domination: The Story of MUSK's 1995. A young entrepreneur drops out of a Ph.D. program at Stanford. He has bigger plans. The idea? Build the future of the internet, energy, and space. The reality? It won’t be easy. Musk starts Zip2. Sells it for $307M. He reinvests everything into X.com (later PayPal). 2002: eBay buys PayPal for $1.5B. Musk cashes out. Now, he’s ready for his real mission: revolutionizing cars and space travel. But there’s a problem. The auto industry laughs at electric cars. NASA doubts private space travel. Investors think Musk is burning money. If he doesn’t act fast, his vision will collapse. 2004-2008: Musk Makes His Move One by one, he removes the obstacles. Joins Tesla as an investor soon takes control. SpaceX launches its first rocket. It fails. Tesla almost goes bankrupt. Musk invests his last $40M. SpaceX finally lands a $1.6B NASA contract. Because he knows: This isn’t just about business it’s about the future of humanity. 2008-Present: The Empire Grows 2012: SpaceX sends the first private spacecraft to the ISS. 2017: Tesla dominates the EV market with the Model 3. 2020: SpaceX launches astronauts for NASA. 2023: Twitter? He buys it. Renames it X. Musk didn’t just build companies he changed industries. 3 Lessons from Musk’s Takeover 1. Bet on yourself. He reinvested his money, even when failure seemed certain. 2. Ignore the doubters. The world thought electric cars and private rockets were impossible. Now, they’re the future. 3. Think beyond profit. Musk doesn’t just chase money he chases impact. Most founders build businesses. Musk builds revolutions.
