00:03 Elon Musk's knack for making money started during his time at the University of Pennsylvania.
00:07 Musk and his then roommate Andeo Resi converted their college house into a nightclub to earn

00:14 Musk saw an opportunity to turn their abode into a cash-generating hotspot.
00:19 Who needed a boring part-time job when you could create your own party empire?
00:22 While most college parties are all about fun, for Musk these blowout events were strictly business.

00:30 his room playing video games, disconnected from the action taking place downstairs.

00:37 bullies he ended up in the hospital, but his determination only fueled his ambition. His

00:44 Success followed as Musk sold Zip2 for over $300 million and founded PayPal,
00:48 later acquired for $1.5 billion. From rocket technology to electric vehicles,
00:52 Musk's ventures showcase his entrepreneurial spirit. Elon Musk. From college parties to
00:56 leading SpaceX and Tesla, a visionary billionaire shaping the future.
