Elon Musk started as an engineer and entrepreneur with early ventures like Zip2 and PayPal. Building Tesla was risky; banks and investors doubted electric cars could compete. He poured his own money into the company, sleeping in the factory to keep it afloat. The turning point came with the successful launch of the Roadster, proving electric cars could be fast and desirable. Musk’s story teaches us that taking bold risks and believing in your vision can reshape an entire industry.
