In 2002, Musk established SpaceX, an aviation producer and space transport administrations organization, of which he fills in as President and Boss Architect. In 2004, he was an early financial backer in electric vehicle maker Tesla Engines, Inc. (presently Tesla, Inc.). He turned into its executive and item engineer, ultimately taking on the place of Chief in 2008. In 2006, he made SolarCity, a sun based energy organization that was subsequently procured by Tesla and became Tesla Energy. In 2015, he helped to establish OpenAI, a not-for-profit research organization advancing cordial man-made brainpower (computer based intelligence). In 2016, he helped to establish Neuralink, a neurotechnology organization zeroed in on creating cerebrum PC interfaces, and established The Exhausting Organization, a passage development organization. Musk has proposed a hyperloop fast vactrain transportation framework and is the leader of the Musk Establishment, which gives to logical examination and schooling.
Musk has been condemned for offering informal and questionable expressions, like spreading falsehood about the Coronavirus pandemic and advancing combative viewpoints with respect to governmental issues and different advancements, particularly on Twitter. In 2018, the U.S. Protections and Trade Commission (SEC) sued Musk for tweeting that he had gotten financing for a confidential takeover of Tesla, which the SEC described as bogus and deceiving.

In his life story, Ashlee Vance depicted Musk as an abnormal and withdrawn youngster. At the point when Musk was 10, he fostered an interest in registering and computer games, so he brought a Commodore VIC-20 and showed himself programming from a client manual. At age 12, he offered his Essential based game Blastar to PC and Office Innovation magazine for around $500.

SpaceX
In mid 2001, Musk became engaged with the charitable Mars Society and examined financing intends to put a development chamber for plants on Mars. In October that very year, he made a trip to Moscow with Jim Cantrell and Adeo Ressi to purchase revamped intercontinental long range rockets (ICBMs) that could send the nursery payloads into space. He met with organizations NPO Lavochkin and Kosmotras; in any case, Musk was viewed as a fledgling and the gathering got back to the US with essentially nothing. In February 2002, the gathering got back to Russia with Mike Griffin (leader of In-Q-Tel) to search for three ICBMs. They had one more gathering with Kosmotras and were offered one rocket for $8 million, which Musk dismissed. He rather chose to begin an organization that could construct reasonable rockets.With $100 million of his initial fortune Musk established SpaceX in May 2002 and turned into the organization's President and Boss Designer.
SpaceX endeavored its most memorable send off of the Bird of prey 1 rocket in 2006.Though the rocket neglected to arrive at Earth circle, it was granted a Business Orbital Transportation Administrations program contract from NASA Executive (and previous SpaceX expert Mike Griffin later that year.] After two additional bombed endeavors that almost made Musk and his organizations bankrupt SpaceX prevailed with regards to sending off the Hawk 1 into space in 2008. Sometime thereafter, SpaceX got a $1.6 billion Business Resupply Administrations program contract from NASA for 12 trips of its Bird of prey 9 rocket and Winged serpent space apparatus to the Worldwide Space Station, supplanting the Space Transport after its 2011 retirement. In 2012, the Mythical beast vehicle berthed with the ISS, a first for a confidential undertaking. Musk credited the NASA grant, one of the last activities by Mike Griffin as NASA Overseer, for saving the organization.
Making progress toward its objective of reusable rockets, in 2015 SpaceX effectively handled the principal phase of a Bird of prey 9 on an inland stage. Later arrivals were accomplished on independent spaceport drone sends, a sea based recuperation stage. In 2018, SpaceX sent off the Hawk Weighty; the debut mission conveyed Musk's own Tesla Roadster as a faker payload.Since 2019 SpaceX is creating Starship, a completely reusable, super-weighty lift send off vehicle expected to supplant the Bird of prey 9 and Weighty. In 2020, SpaceX sent off its originally maintained flight, the Demo-2, turning into the principal privately owned business to put space explorers into space and dock a manned shuttle with the ISS.
SpaceX started advancement of the Starlink heavenly body of low Earth circle satellites in 2015 to furnish satellite Web access with the initial two model satellites sent off in February 2018. A second arrangement of test satellites and the main enormous sending of a piece of the star grouping happened in May 2019, when the initial 60 functional satellites were sent off. The absolute expense of the very long term undertaking to configuration, fabricate, and send the star grouping is assessed by SpaceX to be about $10 billion. A few pundits, including the Global Cosmic Association, have claimed that Starlink blocks the perspective on the sky and represents a crash danger for shuttle. During the 2022 Russian attack of Ukraine, Musk sent Starlink frameworks to Ukraine to give web access and correspondence, an activity commended by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Nonetheless, he would not obstruct Russian state media on Starlink, proclaiming himself "a free discourse absolutist."
Tesla
Tesla initially Tesla Engines — was consolidated in 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, who supported the organization until the Series A series of financing. The two men assumed dynamic parts in the organization's initial improvement before Musk's association.

Tesla started conveyance of its four-entryway Model S car in 2012. A get over, the Model X was sent off in 2015. A mass market car, the Model 3, was delivered in 2017. The Model 3 is the record-breaking top rated module electric vehicle around the world, and in June 2021 it turned into the principal electric vehicle to universally sell 1 million units. A fifth vehicle, the Model Y hybrid, was sent off in 2020. The Cybertruck — an all-electric pickup truck — was disclosed in 2019. Under Musk, Tesla has likewise developed different lithium-particle battery and electric vehicle processing plants named Gigafactories.
Since its first sale of stock in 2010 Tesla stock has risen fundamentally; it turned into the most significant carmaker in summer 2020 and it entered the S&P 500 soon thereafter. In October 2021 it arrived at a market capitalization of $1 trillion, the 6th organization to do as such in US history. On November 6, 2021, Musk proposed on Twitter selling 10% of his Tesla stock, since "a lot is made of late of undiscovered increases being a method for charge evasion". After more than 3.5 million Twitter accounts upheld the deal, Musk sold $6.9 billion of Tesla stock in the week finishing November 12 and a sum of $16.4 billion by year end, arriving at the 10% objective. In February 2022, The Money Road Diary detailed that both Elon and Kimbal Musk were being scrutinized by the SEC for conceivable insider exchanging connected with the deal.
The Exhausting Organization(The Boring Company)
In 2017, Musk established The Exhausting Organization to build burrows. Musk uncovered plans for specific high inhabitance vehicles that could head out up to 150 miles each hour, avoiding over the ground traffic in significant urban communities. From the get-go in 2017, the organization started conversations with administrative bodies and started development of a 30-foot (9.1 m) wide, 50-foot (15 m) long, and 15-foot (4.6 m) profound "test channel" in the vicinity of SpaceX's workplaces as it required no permits.The Los Angeles burrow, under two miles long, appeared to writers in 2018. It utilized Tesla Model X's and was accounted for to be a harsh ride and travel at sub-par speeds.
Two passage projects declared in 2018, in Chicago and West Los Angeles, have been dropped. In any case, a passage underneath the Las Vegas Conference hall was finished in mid 2021. Neighborhood authorities have endorsed further extensions of the passage framework. In 2021, burrow development was supported for Stronghold Lauderdale, Florida.
