    Formation of SpaceX

    The only motive of Elon Musk behind Establishing SpaceX company was to settle the life on another planet specially on Mars after Earth.
      Simultaneously he wanted to cut the high cost of space travel as well
    That's why in May,2002 he made the company "Space Exploration Technologies Corp."
    He was the CEO and lead designer of that company, the work of this company was to make rocket who can deliver the satellites and also which can settle the people on other planet and this is really a thinking that Elon has.He wants to revolutionize the space rocket industry.He had some knowledge of aeronautics which he gained after reading several books. making rockets needs a huge investment and technologies so he went Russia to buy rockets but he found it to be very expensive so SpaceX decided to make Rockets by own, it was the first time that a private company is going to create rockets.
    After board meeting and all paper work they started making rockets.
    Simultaneously they made three rockets and launched it in space one by one but all failed and crashed.After Three continuous failures he came to the level of very low financial support.All the members of SpaceX was very disappointed but Elon wasn't, He said i will try once more and again he launched a rocket to send it to the orbit of earth and that time he got success in making it true.Whole world was very shocked How?how he made such a successful rocket even after not having a formal education and degrees on rocket science.
    BUT HE MADE HIS DREAMS COME TRUE ONLY BECAUSE OF HIS PASSION TO DO ANYTHING WITHOUT GIVING UP
    This company started now a private space commercial craft, Now this company provides the service of sending the NASA satellite to the orbit of earth.
    This company made a history, when on May 22, 2012 company sent 1000 pound supplies to the astronauts working in the international space station through its Falcon Nine rocket.
    The rockets made by SpaceX are reusable that can be used more than 1 time. Now Elon Wants to make a satellite that can be used for the convenience of internet conection so that no one on the earth will get any type of problem in using internet services.

    Tesla Motors

    In 2003, Elon became the Co-founder,CEO and product architect of Tesla Motors company.
    This company makes the Electonic Cars that has a wide grab in the electric car market. In the initial stages Tesla Motor suffered a huge lose because of increased cost of car in making it electronic. Because company was not able to sell cars as its prices were very high but now they are making affordable car that cover a wide area in the market of electronic cars.
    Elon believes that the success of Tesla Motors is only due to its quality maintained products,here Elon's all focus was on maintaining quality at an affordable price.
    Tesla Company makes the solar batteries and solar roofs as well.

    But Tesla company and SpaceX was not successfull initially in the year 2008, when recession in the world's economy came the SpaceX and Tesla company was almost at the stage of bankrupt but as always Elon did not Give up and he is the owner of Approx $70 million.

    Its all due to his hard work grabbing of passion and the habit of not giving up that made him the one of the most powerful entrepreneur in the world.
