1971

Elon Reeve Musk (born June 28, 1971) is a businessman and investor.

He is the founder, chairman, CEO, and CTO of SpaceX; angel investor, CEO, product architect, and former chairman of Tesla, Inc.; owner, executive chairman, and CTO of X Corp.; founder of the Boring Company and xAI; co-founder of Neuralink and OpenAI; and president of the Musk Foundation.

He is one of the wealthiest people in the world, with an estimated net worth of US$189 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, and $196 billion according to Forbes, primarily from his ownership stakes in Tesla and SpaceX.

A member of the wealthy South African Musk family, Elon was born in Pretoria and briefly attended the University of Pretoria before immigrating to Canada at age 18, acquiring citizenship through his Canadian-born mother.

Two years later, he matriculated at Queen's University at Kingston in Canada.

Musk later transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, and received bachelor's degrees in economics and physics.

Elon Reeve Musk was born on June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa's administrative capital.

He is of British and Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry.

His mother, Maye Musk (Haldeman), is a model and dietitian born in Saskatchewan, Canada, and raised in South Africa.

His father, Errol Musk, is a South African electromechanical engineer, pilot, sailor, consultant, and property developer, who partly owned a rental lodge at the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve.

Elon has a younger brother, Kimbal, and a younger sister, Tosca.

The family was wealthy during Elon's youth.

After having claimed to be part owner of an emerald mine, in 2023 Errol revised his statement and said he was just illegally dealing in emeralds in the 1980s.

Errol was elected to the Pretoria City Council as a representative of the anti-apartheid Progressive Party and has said that his children shared their father's dislike of apartheid.

Elon's maternal grandfather, Joshua N. Haldeman, was an American-born Canadian who took his family on record-breaking journeys to Africa and Australia in a single-engine Bellanca airplane.

1980

After his parents divorced in 1980, Elon chose to live primarily with his father.

Elon later regretted his decision and became estranged from his father.

In one incident, after having called a boy whose father had committed suicide "stupid", Elon was thrown down concrete steps.

Elon has four paternal half-siblings.

Elon was an enthusiastic reader of books, later attributing his success in part to having read Benjamin Franklin: An American Life, The Lord of the Rings, the Foundation series, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

At age ten, he developed an interest in computing and video games, teaching himself how to program from the VIC-20 user manual.

At age twelve, Elon sold his BASIC-based game Blastar to PC and Office Technology magazine for approximately $500.

To settle the case, Musk stepped down as the chairman of Tesla and paid a $20 million fine.
