As Found(@AsFoundX):🚨 ELON MUSK ON 2008: “We blew up three rockets in the beginning. That was bad. I took all the money I made from PayPal and put it into SpaceX, Tesla and SolarCity. Initially I figured I’d keep half and spend the other half on these crazy ventures that would probably fail. Then they needed all the money. So I had to give them all the money. And then I didn’t have a house and had to borrow money for rent. That was pretty difficult. We managed to scrape enough spare parts together for a fourth launch at SpaceX and that worked. If it had not worked, SpaceX would have died, and we probably wouldn’t be here today.”
