Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa, on June 28, 1971. Musk's parents and doctors ordered a hearing test because he was so lost in his invention fantasies as a child.

Musk became interested in computers when he was 10 years old, around the time his parents split up. He learned to program by himself, and when he was 12 years old, he sold his first software: a Blastar-themed game that he developed.

Musk was short, introverted, and a bookworm in elementary school. He was bullied until he was 15, during which time he underwent a growth spurt and learned to wrestle and use karate to defend himself.

Musk moved to Canada in 1989 when he was 17 years old to attend Queen's University and avoid serving in the South African military. That year, Musk got Canadian citizenship because he thought it would be easier to get American citizenship that way.

In 1992, Musk passed on Canada to concentrate on business and physical science at the College of Pennsylvania. He went on to earn a second bachelor's degree in physics after earning his undergraduate degree in economics.

In the wake of leaving Penn, Musk went to Stanford College in California to seek after a PhD in energy material science. Be that as it may, his move was planned impeccably with the Web blast, and he exited Stanford after only two days to turn into a piece of it, sending off his most memorable organization, Zip2 Company in 1995. In 2002, Musk became an American citizen.
