Businessman Elon Musk has attracted a lot of public attention in recent years, thanks to his ambitious plans and innovative companies, reports Tanjug.

In 1983, he sold the code for his first video game for $ 500. He was just 12 years old, and in 1999 he sold his company Compaq, ZIP2, for $ 341 million.

In the same year, he founded the company x.com from which PayPal emerged. He later sold the company to eBay for $ 1,5 billion.

In 2002, he founded SpaceX, a company specializing in commercial aircraft, and in 2003, he co-founded Tesla Motors, a company that produces electric vehicles. During the Great Depression, Musk was left without Tesla and SpaceX.

Musk's ambition is to build a colony on Mars, and he also plans to build a super fast Hyperloop train that will cover the distance from Los Angeles to San Francisco in half an hour.

His first child died of Sudden Death Syndrome. It is about a child from the first marriage with Justin Musk, and the baby was only 10 weeks old. Later, the couple got twins through artificial insemination, and then triplets. Elon and Justin divorced in 2008 after 8 years of marriage. He married twice and twice divorced his second wife.
