Who is Elon Musk?

Elon Reeve Musk is a South African businessman and entrepreneur who first founded X.com, an online payments bank, in 1999. He is also the founder of SpaceX (2002) and Tesla Motors (2003). He became a multimillionaire in his late 20s, when he sold one of his startups Zip2 to Compaq Computers. Musk came in the limelight when his rocket startup SpaceX launched a rocket built to send the first commercial vehicle to the ISS (International Space Station). Moreover, he cemented his position as an industry leader by stepping in an advisory role in the early days of administration of former President Donald Trump.

6 Companies owned by Elon Musk

1. The Boring Company

Founded by Musk in December 2016, The Boring Company is an American tunnel and infrastructure services startup. One of the most thoughtful Elon Musk companies, The Boring Company aims to design and create subterranean tunnels that enable pedestrians, utilities, freight and autonomous electrical vehicles (EVs) to find a way around traffic on surface roads to get faster and directly from Point A to Point B. Musk founded The Boring Company after getting frustrated with Los Angeles traffic and the limitations of 2D (two-dimensional) transformation networks. 

Basically, the startup is dedicated to reducing street traffic. In 2017, a test dig began on one of the SpaceX properties in LA. In October 2017, Musk posted a photo of his startup’s progress on his Instagram page. He said that the 500-foot tunnel would run parallel to Interstate 405 and would reach a length of 2 miles in about 4 months.
