lon Musk, owner of SpaceX, is an out-of-the-ordinary engineer and inventor. He was born in South Africa in 1971, then moved to live in the United States of America and became a millionaire when he was in his twenties when he sold his start-up company Zip2 to Compaq Computers, and achieved more success by founding the company “X.com” in 1999, then the company “Ax.com” in 1999. SpaceX in 2002 and Tesla in 2003. Musk made headlines in 2012 when SpaceX launched a space rocket that sent the first commercial vehicle to the International Space Station. In 2016, he filled his gallery with images of the Solar City, cementing his presence on the throne of industrial leaders. The important thing is that, at the age of ten, Elon began to develop himself successively, so he began to develop his ability to use the computer and learn programming languages, and he has already succeeded in making the first salable program, after he designed a game he called “Blaster”.
In 1989, at the age of seventeen, Musk moved to Canada to attend Queen's University, in order to avoid mandatory military service in the South African army. In 1992 he left Canada to study Physics and Business Administration at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States, where he first obtained a degree in Economics, then completed his studies to obtain a Bachelor's degree in Physics.
These days, Musk is making headlines on television, in newspapers, websites, and social media pages, after he purchased the giant social networking platform Twitter. Musk reached an agreement with Twitter's board of directors to buy the platform at $54.20 a share, bringing its total value to about $44 billion.
And when we talk about Twitter, along with other platforms such as Facebook and YouTube, it contributes a lot to the spread of misinformation and the promotion of extremism in a section of society, as well as fueling violence in real life. Musk has vowed to get rid of spam, verify user identities, democratize “open source algorithms” and promote transparency rather than “highlighting or blurring tweets is an opaque process.” But experts point out that these procedures are much easier to say than to implement, as most people do not master encryption, in addition to that, users “do not even read the rules of the platform before agreeing to use it”, and this is “similar to the stickers placed on cigarette packs, as it continues Smoking people” despite warnings about the dangers of this practice.
What is important here from this article, which I address especially to our youth, is that ambition, dedication to work, capacity development and self-confidence... are the key to success, and we have the best example in Musk's life path. While following his path, I found that he neglects the education of his young children in American educational institutions, because in his view they do not encourage skills and do not create creativity in the minds of children, so he began to draw a special educational map for them, and Happy Eid Mubarak!
