Elon Musk didn't always plan to build his tech empire. In 1995, he struggled to get a job, even failing to secure a position at Netscape despite loitering in their lobby. This rejection led him to start his own company. Musk previously endured difficult jobs in Canada after leaving South Africa at 17. He then moved to the U.S., earned degrees, and attended Stanford before dropping out to bet on the internet. Musk founded Zip2, sold it for $300 million, and continued to create companies like PayPal, Tesla, and SpaceX. His journey from rejection to becoming a visionary started with his relentless determination and persistence.
