00:00What if I told you Elon Musk once lived on just $1 a day?
00:03Yeah, the same guy behind Tesla and SpaceX actually challenged himself to survive on hot dogs and oranges.
00:10Not because he had to, but because he wanted to test himself.
00:13Back in college, Musk believed that in America, staying alive was relatively easy.
00:18So he ran an experiment. Could he eat and live off just $1 a day?
00:21The answer? Yes.
00:23He lived on a diet of mostly hot dogs, oranges, pasta, and green peppers.
00:27All dirt cheap.
00:28His goal wasn't just to save money.
00:31It was to prove that even in the worst case scenario, he could survive.
00:35That gave him the mental freedom to take big risks.
00:38As he put it, if I could live on $1 a day, I could afford to start a company.
00:43That mindset of embracing discomfort laid the foundation for everything.
00:47Ex-Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and XAI.
00:49All of it started with a simple question.
00:52What's the worst that could happen?
00:54So next time you say you're too broke to chase your dream,
00:56remember, Elon Musk started with nothing but hot dogs, oranges, and a dollar.
