Elon Musk was born in Pretoria in 1971 as the son of model Maye Musk and mechanical engineer Errol Musk. His father raised him with merciless harshness. The parents divorce early. Elon Musk is an introverted child and is subject to bullying. At the age of ten he taught himself to program, and just two years later he sold the first computer game he developed for $500. At the age of 17, he emigrated to Canada, where his mother originally came from, to avoid military service in South Africa. Soon afterwards he went to the USA, where he studied physics and economics at the University of Philadelphia. Elon Musk’s mother Maye shared the photo from the sandbox on Twitter and jokingly wrote: “Three-year-old Elon Musk: ‘I can build a truck that’s better than this one’.”
