About
A brief biography
Elon Reeve Musk (born June 28, 1971) is an entrepreneur and engineer whose ventures span sustainable energy, space exploration, neurotechnology, artificial intelligence, and infrastructure.
After co-founding Zip2 and PayPal, he founded SpaceX in 2002 with the goal of making life multi-planetary. He joined Tesla in 2004 and led its transformation into the world's most valuable automaker. He has since founded Neuralink, The Boring Company, xAI, and acquired Twitter — now X.
His work is united by a single conviction: that first-principles thinking, ruthless iteration, and audacious timelines can bend the arc of what humanity is capable of.
