Elon Musk is an engineer and entrepreneur who co-founded PayPal and Tesla Motors. He is now the CEO and CTO of SpaceX, and is working on developing the Hyperloop. He was born in 1971 in Pretoria, South Africa.<\/p>\n

Musk’s parents divorced when he was young, and he ended up living with his father in Pretoria. He showed an early interest in computers and technology, and graduated from the University of Pretoria with a bachelor’s degree in economics and physics.<\/p>\n

In 1995, Musk moved to Canada to attend Queen’s University. He transferred to the University of Pennsylvania two years later, where he received a bachelor’s degree in economics from the Wharton School and a bachelor’s degree in physics from the College of Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\n

Musk then moved to California to pursue a PhD in applied physics and materials science at Stanford University, but decided instead to pursue a business career. He co-founded PayPal in 1998, and it was acquired by eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion.<\/p>\n
