In 1995, Elon Musk began to move to the United States from Canada. He has graduated from Queen's University in Ontario and continued his PhD at Stanford. Before then try his luck in Silicon Valley, the region's technology center in the US.
It was at that time that Elon dated a charming woman named Justine Wilson who would later become his first wife. They met for the first time on campus.
"He looks pretty great. He's also smart. Besides that, he has a black belt in tae kwon do. Anyway, it's an attractive girl," Elon said, quoted by us from CBC.
In 2000, they finally got married. And decided to honeymoon in December to Brazil and Elon's homeland, South Africa. Precisely near the Mozambique border.
Unfortunately, bad luck hit Elon on his first vacation with his wife. He was attacked by the most virulent type of malaria. Already, Elon was misdiagnosed and not treated properly.
Just a little too late, Elon Musk is confirmed dead. Luckily he made it through the ordeal although it can take up to 6 months to fully recover.
That's why later, he became less fond of holidays. "The lesson I've learned from vacations is, vacations will kill you," he said.
After the tragedy, Elon Musk was increasingly busy at work. Apart from Tesla and SpaceX, there is one more company he actually grew up with. Namely PayPal transfer service. PayPal was then bought by eBay in 2002 which made Elon get a lot of money.
