He obtained Canadian citizenship through his mother around his 18th birthday, and enrolled in Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He transferred to the University of Pennsylvania graduating with two degrees. He moved to California to begin a PhD program at Stanford, but dropped out to pursue entrepreneurial aspirations with the Internet. Elon and his brother started Zip2, a software company he sold in 1999. He received $22 millions dollars from the sale. He co-founded X.com, which merged with another company to transform into Paypal. Though Elon was ousted from his role as CEO, he received $165 million when Paypal was bought by eBay. Elon’s latest interests include Tesla Motors, a new generation of electric cars, and SpaceX, a private space travel company.
