50 Images That Show The Life of Genius Elon Musk

Elon's mother, Maye, was a prevalent model, while Elon's dad, Errol was one of the smartest yet evil men (according to Elon). Errol was one of the most innovative men around as an electromechanical engineer (who also had many other professions that he excelled at). 

Elon often states as an adult that he did not have a happy childhood and was in misery for most of it. This is not to say that he had no good memories, but he notes how his father was easily able to make a joyous situation into a gloomy one full of sorrow. 

Elon did not enjoy growing up in South Africa (despite having loving siblings, who he is pictured with above), especially because of the Apartheid Era, which was an extensive system of governmental racism that resulted in the immense oppression of non-white people in South Africa. 

Ever since his siblings were born, Elon had had a good relationship with them and continues to be best friends with them today, and even has gone into multiple business ventures with both of them, particularly Kimbal. Even though his dad wasn't the best, at least Elon always had the support of his brother and sister!

Elon and his entire family were never poor by any means, but again, his family believed in making your own way and a phenomenal work ethic, which is what has led Elon to become so successful. Not only did this genius (Elon, pictured above) work throughout his childhood, but he also insisted on taking on his own student loans, proving how determined he was to make it on his own. 

Little did Maye know that Elon would end up applying his genius so much that he wouldn't be able to focus in one area; Maye insisted to Elon that he pick one career path, but instead he went on to revolutionize the gaming, banking, space, and electric car industry among others. 

Elon and his siblings also report that Errol was verbally abusive during their childhood, although he was not known for any major physical abuse. Surprisingly, Errol never complimented or encouraged his children despite the potential that they had shown from a young age. 

Pictured above is Elon with one of the rockets that he built after being inspired by Russia's denial to start his own company, which he named SpaceX. Elon started the company only four months after his failed business deal with Russia, and SpaceX is now a leading space science center that makes rockets and space obtainable and affordable. 

Elon Musk became a part of Tesla because he donated $6.5 billion to get the company jump-started. After he became an investor, his genius was quickly put to use as he was accepted onto the board of directors, and soon after, a co-founder of the leading electric car company worldwide. 

Griffin and Xavier were born in April of 2004, and Elon was extremely proud and excited to become a father, so much so that he went on to have multiple other children with two women in total (his now ex-wife Justine and his new girlfriend, Grimes). 

When Elon and Justine had first met at Queen's University, Elon had to ask her out multiple times before she accepted, and later they ended up falling in love together. Although as their marriage and Elon's career proceeded, Justine felt like she was more of a trophy wife and that she and Elon were no longer in love, which resulted in the divorce. 

Mr. Musk appeared in the episode, "The Platonic Permutation", as himself in 2015, and it appeared that Elon Musk belonged on no other show seeing that the 12-season series is based around a love for science, especially space! Again, even though critics didn't rave about the episode, it was still a phenomenal addition to have Musk on the series. 

Pictured above is Elon with his mother and his siblings, who have been extremely supportive of one another since the beginning of their lives and careers. In terms of entrepreneurs, Kimbal owns a large chain of restaurants, while his sister, Tosca, is a famous film director. 

Elon and Grimes have had a rocky relationship, for they have separated multiple times throughout their relationship, yet they have become forever linked since the arrival of their first child, X Æ A-Xii, and more recently, their daughter, Exa Dark Sideræl.
