In 1995, Elon Musk was unable to get a job at internet companies like Netscape. Despite even waiting in their lobbies, he received no offers and was too shy to approach anyone directly. This led him to start his own company out of necessity. Prior to this, Musk had left South Africa at 17, endured tough jobs in Canada, and eventually earned degrees before dropping out of Stanford. Betting everything on the internet, he co-founded Zip2, which he sold for $300 million, and went on to create PayPal, Tesla, and SpaceX. Musk's journey, marked by initial rejections and relentless determination, eventually made him a tech visionary.
