From Tesla to SpaceX and Twitter, Musk’s empire

While diversifying Musk’s empire, Twitter could prove to be one of the biggest headaches for the richest man in the world, an advocate of free speech at all costs and for all. A position for which he has already been overwhelmed with criticism and which, looking ahead, will expose him even more.

In fact, there are those who have already labeled the presidential elections of 2024 as ‘Elon Election’. However, let’s find out together how Musk built his empire, with a few more tweets.

Musk took his first steps at 12 with the invention of a video game, Blastar, which later sold for $ 500. In 1995 he founded Zip2 with his brother Kimball, and then sold it a few years later to Compaq for 307 million. The sale brought Musk his first 22 million, a treasure with which he laid the foundations of his empire. In 1999 he founded X.com, which later became PayPal. In 2006 he sided in support of SolarCity, a renewable energy company founded by two of his cousins ​and later bought by Tesla.

Tesla is Musk’s creature, the one who brought him to the fore on the world stage. The billionaire co-founded it and in 2008 took over the reins: since then Tesla - in spite of the cassandras - has imposed itself globally and pushed its business beyond the mere production of cars. In fact, Tesla has gigafactories around the world and is one of the most valuable companies in the world.
