Iron Man, Eat Your Heart Out
The media have dubbed him the real life Tony Stark, and indeed, like the man behind the iron mask, Elon Musk seems almost invincible. The South African-born innovator made a cameo appearance in ¡§Iron Man 2,¡¨ where he advised Robert Downey, Jr.'s character that he had ¡§an idea for an electric jet.¡¨ Uttered by anyone else, such a comment would be straying into the realm of comic-book hyperbole,ƒØ but with Musk, it appears the sky is no limit. In fact, he is already toying with the idea of electric air travel, though he admits it might not be feasible.
A self-taught coding whiz, Musk had already developed and sold a video game by the age of 12. After dropping out of a Ph.D program at Harvard after two days, Musk founded Zip2 with his brother. The company produced online publishing software for news organizations and was sold to AltaVista for US$307 million cash and US$34 million in stock in 1999.
However, the pivotal event for the 42-year-old was the cofounding of Paypal in 2000. The online payments company was sold to eBay for US$1.5 billion in 2002, and no one could have predicted what Musk would do with his share of the proceeds. Musk's third venture was SpaceX, a manufacturer of space launch vehicles. Some critics thought he was living on another planet, but in 2012, SpaceX became the first commercial company to dock a vehicle with the International Space Station. It can now get an astronaut to the station for US$20 million, less than a third the cost of a trip on a Russian Soyuz rocket.
