9 Success Rules Elon Musk Used to Become the Real Iron Man
From a bullied kid in South Africa to the real Iron Man
A little over 49 years ago — on the 28th of June of 1971 — the real Iron Man was born.
Unlike what Hollywood tries to have you believe, Iron Man wasn’t born in New York. He wasn’t born in any of the states of the United States. He doesn’t speak as well as Robert Downy, Jr, and his name isn’t Tony Stark. His real name is Elon — Elon Musk.
But Elon Musk wasn’t born as Iron Man.
He didn’t become that until later in his life, after moving from his home country to avoid mandatory service in the South African Military. Then, moving from Canada to America after obtaining his Canadian citizenship.
The internet boomed when Elon Musk moved to Stanford University to study for a Ph.D. in energy physics.
He saw potential there that most entrepreneurs ignored at the time. And after just two days at Stanford, Elon Musk dropped out — to join the internet — and make history. And that he did.
