  • Kimbal Musk discusses his beginnings as a young entrepreneur noting how he made $100,000 in one summer and almost missed an investor meeting after being stopped at the border for not having a proper visa. He looks back on creating Zip2 with his brother Elon, sharing experiences of sleeping in their offices to save money, having a book thrown at him while meeting with the Toronto Star, and later selling the company for $307 million in cash.

    I've heard that the gimbals on the Space X rocket engines are actually called "kimbals", after Kimbal Musk.

    Business is actually easier than people think. I know of too many people with 3/4 the Musk's IQs who are multimillionaires.

    I went to a private school 🏫 that had a computer 🖥️ teacher that when I was in 6th or 7th grade explained the internet to us. She said some day all information will be able to be shared and passed between personal computer, she explained emails too me.
    I thought…YEAH RIGHT NO WAY WE COULD SEND A VIDEO GAME OR A SONG ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

    I've heard Elon and Kimbal's version of how they got started but I can't help but think that they are lying about the money they used to get going. I like both of them and certainly respect all of Elon's contributions to society, but I think they are lying about their start.
