The Elon Story, Episode 4: and PayPal
1999: he took his Zip2 money and co-founded one of the first federally insured online banks. Over 200,000 customers joined in its first months.
2000: merged with its rival Confinity, which ran a money-transfer service called PayPal.
2002: eBay bought PayPal for $1.5 billion. Elon Musk, the largest shareholder, got about $176 million, and bet it on rockets and electric cars.
In 2017 he bought back the domain. The letter X never left him.
