Who Is Elon Musk?

American entrepreneur and businessman who founded
X.com in 1999, which later became PayPal, SpaceX in

Elon Musk The Role
Model!!

• Musk gained popularity in 2012


when SpaceX launched a rocket that would
send the first commercial vehicle to the
International Space Station.
SpaceX: What Is It?

• Musk founded his third company, Space Exploration


Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) in 2002 with the aim of
building spacecraft for commercial space travel.
• By 2008, SpaceX was well established, and NASA awarded
the company the contract to handle cargo transport for the
International Space Station in a move to replace NASA’s own
space shuttle missions.
• On May 22, 2012, Musk and SpaceX made history when the
company launched its Falcon 9 rocket into space with an
unmanned capsule. The vehicle was sent to the International
Space Station with 1,000 pounds of supplies for the astronauts
stationed there, marking the first time a private company had
sent a spacecraft to the International Space Station.
SpaceX: What Is It?

• In July 2018, Space X enjoyed the


successful landing of a new Block
5 Falcon rocket, which touched
down on a drone ship less than 9
minutes after liftoff.
• In May 2019, SpaceX launched
the first batch of 60 satellites
followed with another payload of
60 satellites in November the
same year.
Tesla Motors

• Musk is the co-founder, CEO, and product architect


at Tesla Motors, a company formed in 2003 that is
dedicated to producing affordable, mass-market electric
cars as well as battery products and solar roofs. Musk
oversees all product development, engineering, and
design of the company’s products.
• In March 2008, Tesla unveiled the Roadster, a sports
car capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7
seconds, as well as traveling nearly 250 miles between
charges of its lithium-ion battery.
• In June 2010, Tesla Motors launched its initial public
offering which helped them raise $226 million.

honored as the 2013 Car of the Year by Motor
Trend magazine.
• In April 2017, Tesla announced that it surpassed
General Motors to become the most valuable
U.S. carmaker.
• By April 2018, with Tesla expected to fall short
of first-quarter production forecasts for its Model
3 car, news surfaced that Musk had pushed aside
the head of engineering to personally oversee
efforts in that division. In a Twitter exchange
with a reporter, Musk said it was important to
“divide and conquer” to meet production goals
and was “back to sleeping at factory.”
Tesla Motors

• Following extensive production


delays, Model 3 was officially
launched in 2019.
• Even during the lockdown in May
2020, Tesla was one of the few
automakers whose share surpassed
an all-time high of $1,000 mark
earlier this month. As of 30
June’20, Forbes has reported that
the total net worth of Elon Musk is
estimated at $42.7 billion.
