Elon Musk, one of the wealthiest people on the planet, hopes to accomplish the latter. 6park.comThe oldest of three children, Musk was born in South Africa to a South African father and a Canadian mother. When his parents divorced and his mother took his siblings to Canada, Musk decided to stay behind. He would later regret this decision as he ended up isolated from and bullied by his peers for his love of books.
