I know Elon Musk is the co-founder of the online payment firm Paypal, he owns the automotive company Tesla and he also formed SpaceX, he also bought Twitter or X in 2022. He is widely known as a very successful business man and maybe even considered a political figure now.
Thank you for your comment brilliant_bell! I believe Elon Musk co-founded X.com which merged with another company (called Confinity) and they both formed Paypal in 2000. However, he is not considered as one of Paypal's co-founders. These are Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek.
So elon musk is a well known person all over the world . ofcourse he is man with a networth of more than 200 billion dollars which is not a small amount. He is one of the best example for money brings fame .
His full name is elon reeve musk and is currently 54 years old. till now he expanded his business empire rapidly. He owns companies like paypal, spaceX , tesla , solar City ,neuralink ,twitter/X etc . He has spread out in most of the sectors ranging from outer space to human brain .
But with such a vast empire he has also been involved in many controversies . He was accused for stock market manipulation, harsh work culture etc.
But not all things are well even for him as he himself stated that he has asperger syndrome which affects interaction and communication.
I agree because... we did learn that he is one of the richest people in the world.
I agree because... elon musk is the richest people in the world, and he is well known for providing for the sick and poor he also makes charity to raise money for different people that don't have money but although now he is making a a hotel in Mars the planet and its very expensive even to spend a day there.
THANK YOU.
I believe that elon musk should not be considered as a political figure because he should not have a say in the country's laws and rules, just because he is good friends with the current president and has no qualifications for a political figure even though he is smart and has a lot of money.
I'm not sure about this because... He owns and has the most followers on X, and Tesla and SpaceX - other companies he owns - are both on X. In contrast, he does have some political power, being good friends with Trump.

I agree because... we are currently learning about Elon Musk. And he does not only own Tesla he also owns X also known as Twitter he also owns space X. Elon Musk is not the richest man on earth but the true richest man on earth is Jeff bezos owner of Amazon. Elon is not the true founder of Tesla the true founders are Martin Eberhard and Mark Tarpenning.The true first Tesla was the (Roadster sports car 2008 ).

I scored 7 out of 8 questions in the survey. I think I know some things about Elon Musk because, he is the world's richest person, and almost everyone talks about him all over the world. He was also there at the inauguration of Donald Trump and JD Vance. I know that he is the owner of X twitter, and I also know that he has been so successful even though he has failed so many times. His story inspires me a lot.
Hello Topical Talkers 🤗
Elon Musk is the richest man in the world when he was young he loved to use computers and he taught himself how to program. And by the age of twelve he made his own game. when he became an adult he married 3 wives and had 11 children. He also owned so many companies which he invented in it alot of beneficial things like TESLA, where he invented driverless cars and the thing that shocked every body that he invented a flying car. Anther company he owned was PayPal or in the past X.com which he developed it and he was one of the co-founders. In my opinion I think ELON MUSK is a very rich man he uses his money in helpful things.
Thanks For Reading 😊
I disagree on your opinion on Elon Musk because I think that he is a very problematic Person as he uses his power and influence to support opinions that should be critically questioned. He supports the right wing party AFD that is nation wide a suspected extremist organization (in some states even proven extremist). He said for example that they at the “last spark of hope” for Germany. He also agreed with an antisemitic post that claims Jewish communities “push hatred” against white people. Some people say that the asperger syndrome he has may be guilty for some of his problematic comments as it cause trouble in communication.
Elon Musk is the founder and director of companies like Tesla, SpaceX and he bought Twitter. He is also known for his vision of colonizing Mars and advancing electric cars. He is very successful and has a great influence on the entire country.
Elon musk is the richest person in the world. And he own the famous car company which is known as tesla one of the successful car and most advanced technology car. And he also own a twitter. Is the platform of people's chat and it is a most used app . And he was in south Africa and he was very interested in programming. And he start his first co founded company in 1999 which is called zip 2 his content giving software. And musk has very involved in space and he bring company which is the space x for reducing space transportation investments and he has goal to reach mars with people's. For that he is making very advance space ship. And now he was introduced the latest robot which is humanoid optimus the robot can do everything like tasks and hardest part which is be like an human in mind.And finally coming to the great tesla is the leading ev car in the current world . It has a networth of more than 1.500 trillions dollars the first auto company to reach biggest networth. He has face many failures in his life but he didn't give up and now he is the biggest business man .and musk is known for his active in social media. And his x.com was merged. With the confinity to form a PayPal company . Which is used for payments methods. But he was exited and sold the company due to technical issues. And some benefits from Elon musk is he told he will destroy spams. so spam destroyed means they can reduce wrong informations and hacks. And he will be very creative and innovative to the society. So musk is one of the greatest person I have seen in my life and he is a inspiration for all.
I disagree because Elon Musk has brought hatred by supporting a politician in Germany unfairly
I politely disagree assured mango. I think it up to Mr. Musk to support whoever he wants and that’s the whole point of democracy “ letting people choose “ so it is just just like restricting people to vote if we restrict them to support them a person or politician in my opinion.
Thank you
Interesting ideas. To what extent do you think people's power and money should have influence over politics?
I agree because Elon Musk did not bring any hatred in supporting a politician any where in the world, so, do not rush and jump into conclusion because you did not know the good or bad thing it brought to the country.
Well I think it is our choice which side of the road we want to choose. I agree that Elon Musk recently has intervened in politics of other countries and and using his power against someone else which caused widespread hatred in the globe but he has done some good too. For example Tesla has done a lot of work on renewable energy and Space X is a pioneer in space exploration. Also he has been involved in humanitarian efforts like he donated $15 million in order to support education in developing countries.
I agree because... Elon musk is unfair due to most of them support political country which caused them to hate each ather and they dont support each other.
I agree because... you put a lot of details of your opinion. Great Job!
Namaste!
Elon Musk is the CEO of space X and Tasla, he also founded SpaceX with the goal of reducing space transportation cost and colonzing Mars.
He found Tesla to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy, also He is a co-founder of PayPal, he proposed the hyperloop high speed transportation system.
He is a proponent of sustainable energy, He is a CEO of Neuro link focused on develop Brain computer interfaces.
Thank you!
Which of the projects you have mentioned (or not) do you feel will have the biggest impact on the world?
I know that Elon Musk is businessman and a political figure known for his key role in the automotive company Tesla. he is also known for his ownership of X ( formerly Twitter). and he is the richest person in the world🌏.
Elon Reef Musk, is the richest man in the whole world.
He was born on 28th June,1971, Pretoria, South Africa. He is a Canadian businessman with American citizenship,investor, engineer and inventor. He is also the founder, CEO of SpaceX, and also the founder of Tesla Motors factories product and its engineer.
But even after all of that, he still a respectable and polite person. From my viewpoint, l believe that he is a wonderful person who deserves appreciation and reverence.
★彡[ᴛʜᴀɴᴋ ʏᴏᴜ ꜰᴏʀ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴛɪᴍᴇ.]彡★
I know that Elon Musk was born in 28 June 1971 and he have seven children and he is best known for co-founding tesla motors and SpaceX.
Is there anything else interesting you'd like to share about Elon Musk?
Hello Aimee! More interesting facts about Elon Musk is that he once almost sold Tesla to Google, dropped out of Stanford, one of the most interesting ones, he wasn't the founder of Tesla. That's right, TESLA was actually made by Martin Eberhard, Elon was just someone to invest in it, becoming CEO later.
I got 8 out of eight. I really didn't know that i know this much about him but here are some info: At first Elon musk is a great business man which own X (twitter in the past) and Tesla (a successful car company) making him a man with actual superpowers as he can control the opinions of others. Ever thought about taking a rocket to the moon, in Elon's perspective this can be easily done as he owns a space company well known as Space X.
I got 8 out of eight. IT was just in class I heard some news that I have not heard before. Mr. Musk has 200 million followers. He is the CEO of robotaxi company and tesla in the year 2016.
As a score, I got a 7/8, but the thing most shocking out of all the questions is the fact that Elon Musk is worth 400 billion dollars. To me for a person to be “valued” in money as much as this is practical insanity, since just an eighth of that amount of money can help a foundation, country, city, state, province, and more, yet we can put all that money into valuing a single person’s life. Least shocking of them all is that he’s President Trump’s advisor or one of them. One of the world’s richest people is working with politics, along with his money and status can heavily influence the way the world goes like how one of the questions stated a twitter post caused tons of charity workers to receive hate. So truely in my mind I always think, why do we give a single person so much power and influence over us?
I agree with you when you say he may have a lot of power in his hands, as in social media his exposing his ideas to millions of followers all around the world, and we cannot be sure if he knows how to handle it. Something related to this and some ''weird'' tweets he wrote that everyone may have seen and even the famous images when he did that controversial salute, that is a very important factor to understand how Musk behaves sometimes or act is that Musk suffers from Asperger's syndrome (he said that himself) so when he acts or says something we wouldn't do in that context is because he thinks he is being ''edgy'' with his haters or doing something normal even though we may see it as something inappropriate. Moreover, you can like or dislike him for different reasons but I think he deserves the reputation and wealth he has because he has worked very hard to achieve his goals, he is good at his job and some could even describe him as a visionary. Also, everyone is free to do whatever they want with their money (facing always the consequences obviously) and he should be free to support whoever he wants. Many other rich people with a lot of power (like Bill Gates or Micheal Bloomberg) have participated actively in politics. Politics have always been influenced by several factors and Musk is not the first one to use his power and money to influence politics for his benefit. Nevertheless, I also think cancel culture shouldn't be the solution, discussions have to be won with arguments and facts.
You make lots of thoughtful points in this comment and articulate them clearly - well done. Your point about Musk and Asperger's syndrome is also interesting. If the majority of the audience don't know that, and are offended by his actions or comments, does that, or should that, make a difference?
I think so, because to understand something completely we need to know all the context. For example, Musk's salute or his way of acting in some places, Musk's syndrome is a vital factor, because many people have said he is crazy, made laugh of him or even conspire when everything is far more simple and unimportant. Musk probably did that salute because he thought that many of his haters would go mad for him being ''edgy'' or ''based'' and that it was a great idea to do it or thought there was no problem with it, and not because he is a Nazi or fascist. Or when he appeared in a podcast smoking marijuana, which could be considered inappropriate. This would also explain his erratic behaviour at some places or even some of his comments or tweets. Doing a comment about if he should stop supporting Ukraine with satellites could be seen for many people as an indiscreet action but probably not for Musk. However, this doesn't make Musk less capable of doing things and not being a genius at his work. So yes, I think it is important to know the whole context before making assumptions.
I disagree because on the web x Elon musk now gives misinformation to the people and this is causing problem to the people in the world and the millions of followers.
I agree with you on some points. Giving so much power to a single person is not safe. Now slowly he has been involved in taking serious decision for the country and due to his power and fame he has also been able to influence important decisions for other countries and it's people.
He is now so powerful and famous that recently the prime minister of India has a meeting with elon musk and his family which is itself a big deal.
But how can we be so sure that he is able to handle all these power and will not misuse it, because money and fame often changes the intentions, and thoughts of people.
Recently many of his tweets have been involved in controversies and his 'habit' of often tweeting without cross checking his comments, is also criticized.
But on the other hand we cannot deny the fact that he owns the respect and has done a lot of hardwork to achieve success. He can be considered as visionary man who has helped technology to new heights . He has faced both tough and easy situation. From struggling for food in childhood to providing livelihood to thousands of people.
Though he is a very influential person but it's his wish whom he has to support and whom not to. He has the right.
He has been very persistent and hard working for the growth of his company. According to researches he works around 10-12 hours a day which is a big time even after having very big manpower to work for him .
I guess he is worthy for his powers but we should be little carefull that he doesn't misuse his power and doesn't controls us .
I concluded this from the comments and online researches.
Elon Musk is a famous entrepreneur and inventor who works on developing new technologies to change the whole world. He founded companies like Tesla to environmentally friendly electric cars, and "SpaceX," which aims to send people to Mars in the future. Elon Musk dreams of making the world better place using science and technology. I think he is a great example of determination and hard work to achieve big dreams! I really hope to be a famous and influential person like him.
Thanks for reading.🌹
You have mentioned some great achievements. Do you think entrepreneurs and inventors can have too much power or influence?
Of all the things that he has done, as mentioned in your post, which provides you with the most satisfaction and why?
Elon Musk is one of the world's best business entrepreneurs and brightest minds. He has contributed so many things towards developing technology that benefits the human . He is the CEO of Tesla, the biggest ev production company, and CEO of SpaceX, a private space company working on reducing investments in transport. His ambition is to take humans to Mars. He is an inspiration for all of us. Musk is known for his brilliance in technology and giving advantages to society.
I recently read in the news that Musk has introduced his latest robot, Optimus. This humanoid robot is designed for doing all tasks and developed to mimic human behavior, which is one of the most challenging parts of the robot. Currently, Musk is the richest person in the world, worth approximately $400 billion, which is surprising to me. His main sources are SpaceX and Tesla. His success in overcoming tough challenges and making improvements for society is truly inspiring. Musk is also active on social media especially in twitter, he is chairman of that platform. He has faced failures in his life but he never gave up, thus becoming a great person in the world.
These are some great achievements. Do you think entrepreneurs and inventors are automatically good at decision-making ?
Hello @Fin
I would very much like to express my view upon this question! I don't think inventors and entrepreneurs are "automatically" good at decision making, infact, many successful and best inventors have made a lot of mistakes. Infact, Elon Musk, himself, has made wrong decisons and failed a lot of times, for example; the failure of starship's 2nd flight test resulted to a loss of 2 BILLION $, but still he didn't back off and kept on following his interest and learning from failure, maybe that's why he's one of the most powerful people in the world.
I've read about Thomas Edison as well, who has famously said that "I haven't failed, I have just found out 1,000 ways that don't work" as he had made many wrong decisions but eventually succeeded. Nobody can always make a right decison, they learn it from experience. So, I'd like to conclude that nobody is born with a good decision making skill or is automatically good at it, we just have to figure out what might be the best possible and fruitful solution to the problem infront of us.
Elon Musk is the most famous person in the world because of his money. Also because owns Tesla and x.
I know that Elon Musk is the wealthiest person in the world. He is American, Canadian, and South African. He is originally from Canada and moved to the United States as a teenager. He was born on June 28, 1971 and is 53 years old. He owns Tesla and X, which was previously known as Twitter. And as of the reelection of Donald Trump, Elon Musk is one of his advisors.
I know Elon Musk is the owner of X/Twitter, the Boring Company, Tesla, and Spacex and he is the richest person in the world with over 400 billion dollars .
I know that Elon Musk was born in South Africa on 28 June 1971 and he is the world's richest person in the world. he is the charismatic CEO of the electric car, Tesla and he bought twitter for $44billion, his net worth is US$427billion and he is the co-founder of PayPal and he is an entrepreneur and a influencer in my own words I will say Elon Musk is inspiring, ambitious, and innovative. and he supported Donald Trump in the US election.
I scored 7 out of 8. Elon Musk has a net worth of $400 billion and owns several companies including Tesla which designs and makes electric cars.
I learnt that he has endorsed a particular party in the German election on his x account. Most of the leaders are rising alarm because they feel he is breaking rules by boosting one candidate unfairly but others don't see it that way, they insist there is no danger in it.
Elon Musk, the Millionaire, and also the wealthiest man on the whole wide world, owns the TESLA company that is the world best selling car, and is the one who formed spaceX , wich is a company that makes rockets and spacecraft. He also cofounded the electronic payment firm PayPal, in 2002. And cofouned also Neuralink (a neurotechnology company) , in 2016. In 1984 , he invented a video game when he was 12 wich was called Blaster. About his family , he has 3 partners and 12 children. His parents are Errol Musk and W. Maye Musk. Musk was born in June 28 , 1971. And in my view ,I think that he is a very intelligent example for the humanity and the world.
Elon musk is the richest person in the world with an estimated networth of about 380 Billion USD. He is the owner of the vehicle company „Tesla“ and the space agency „SpaceX“. He „recently“ bought the social media company „Twitter“, which he later rebranded to X. These companies are his main source of revenue and status and Elon says he enjoys working alot since he wants to contribute as much as he can to the world. Recently Elon Musk has been in quite a bit of controversy as he supports more right-sided parties in Germany(Afd) and also Donald trump in the USA. With that being said, Elon has alot of power in our world due to his money, but overall he has done a great job modernising and improving regular ideas.
On the test I scored a 8 out of 8. Some things that I know about him is he was born on June 28 1971. He also is the CEO of Tesla, the co-founder of Paypal, CEO of SpaceX and Twitter. Elon Musk is the richest person in the world with a net worth around $400 billion. He got picked by Donald Trump as his government advisor. Most leaders are mad that he boosted a party of a German election unfairly. They felt as if he was breaking a rule. Another Fact that I know about Elon Musk is that he is wealthiest person in the world. Because of that alone, he has a lot of power worldwide.In my opinion I think having too much power can start problems and that is not good.
Elon Musk is currently the richest man on earth and he is the owner of X (formerly known as Twitter) and also he is the CEO of the Tesla company. He is actively involved in President Donald J. Trump's administration. He is the head of the newly created Department for Government Efficiency (DOGE). I love the fact that he never gave up in his many failed attempt at space exploration. His story inspires me a lot, because it tells me to never give up no matter what I may face in my life.
The richest multi biilioner in the whole world Elon Musk has been always amazing at marketing as he appeared in the film Iron Man 2 and a Tesla car model appeared in Iron Man 3 and at that time it hasn't been released yet.
Elon Musk has passion in reading as when he was young his parents said that that any book that passed by him he can't go without reading it. He also had passion in programing l, when he was young he programed an outstanding game. One of his biggest passions was electricity and space and that is why he made Tesla and Space X.
Elon Musk is suffering from Asperger syndrome which is why people who work in his companies are complaining about him and he always ask them for unlogical tasks in short deadlines.
I scored 7/8. The most shocking part is that Elon Musk has 400 billion dollars. A lot of people or countries need this amount of money for a lot of reasons like hunger (starve), developments and building what was destroyed. All of this money is needed to support a lot of poor countries.
When a man like Elon Musk has this huge amount of money, how can he use it to affect the world? He spent a lot of money to buy votes in the president election to make Donald Trump (the president of America) win it to be the new president. Musk said in X (formally Twitter) misinformation to help trump in the elections. He frequently retweets or engages with wrong information.
What the world's wealthiest person hopes to receive in return? Because of what Musk did to Trump, he was rewarded with an office in the White House. What is Musk's political game plan?
I know that Elon Musk is the richest person in the world. I also know he is a founder of Tesla, X.com, and PayPal, which are among the most useful and significant inventions ever! Some people think that the reason for his success is money, but for me, the reason for his success is determination and persistence. Another reason for his success is his intelligence; his IQ level is 155, which helps him be a fast problem solver and gives him an exceptional ability for abstract reasoning.
I know that Elon Musk owns/worked with 3 businesses including Paypal (He got fired at PayPal), Tesla, and SpaceX.I also know he is recognized throughout the world.Elon Musk is also a father of multiple kids (variety).Quite a controversial figure and rumors about the whole Salut like the Third Reich aka the Nazi's.He is so far befriending and trying to work with trump.Has a heavy impact on the social media nowadays.Thats all the information that I know so far
Elon Musk's was born In South Africa and he is the richest or wealthiest person in the world he is the owner and founder of Twitter, space X he's 53years old and he bought Twitter for $400billion he is a known supporter of Donald Trump's administration he has seven children
Elon Musk is completely more efficient and dedicated than any ai or machines. I am saying this because after doing so much research I came up with so many stories and facts about Musk that can’t be expressed in one comment. For today I will be sharing a story of Musk which strongly states -Why only 1% of people become successful….
When Elon musk was 11 years old he demanded a computer from his father. As usual his father thought he would only use that computer for playing games and would waste his time which he did . He gradually bought Commodore vic-20 which was one of the earliest pc in the world . Along with this pc a coding course named “ Basic” was included which can be learnt in 60 hours but Elon being Elon he completed this in 2-3 days and he became so interested in this that he learnt coding for pascal , turboc++ within 2 years only and he invented a game named BLASTER and he sold this game to PC magazine company in $ 500 . Here’s why Elon was able to get his net worth from 70 billion to 400 billion dollars .
You certainly know a lot about Mr Musk, how did you learn all about him?
Hi Fin@Topical talk for asking this question actually I am reading fond of reading books and specially watching documentaries and the specific book I read is Elon musk by Walter Isaacson which also shares one more story that in September 2000 Elon was removed from his CEO post and now he was just a stakeholder in the company but again Elon being Elon he bought an airplane and applied for pilot license. For those who don’t know that for achieving pilot license we need to fly the plane till 50 hours with a trained pilot. During completing this process people put in several months but Elon did this only in 3 weeks and bought a private jet . The Company Spacex wants to colonise this jet on mars. Since 2001 Elon became to devoted to this mars mission that he planned a mission named mars oasis in which he wanted to send a greenhouse to mars for which he required 30 million dollars.Musk’s purpose behind this was only to ignite a spark within the US government to take mission mars seriously and increasing NASA’s budget.
Hi I knew that Elon Musk is the founder of space x the Space research organisation and he had succeeded with his Falcon 9 mission and starship machines also but also he faced some problems but he came up with the new idea that is sending humans to Mars this is the mission for the starship and I knew that he is the owner of the tesla company also and its cost of so valuable and efficient most probably the cyber truck which is bullet proof truck if in one side NASA is giving proud to America in other side SPACE X is also doing the same, and he was born in JUNE 28 ,1971 AND HE HAS ALSO ACHIEVED A LOT IN SPACE RESEARCH
I scored 8 out of 8. This quiz was very beneficial to me as it helped me to know more about Elon Musk. So I would like to tell you some informations that I gained from the quiz and how I feel about it and also I will tell you my opinion. These informations include:
1- Elon Musk has around 400 billion dollars
2- He owns many companies like tesla and spaceX
3- He is the wealthiest person ( This information I know it)
About the first information, I think that owning 400 billion can be good and bad depending on how he uses them. At all, having 400 billion is a fantastic thing.
About the second information, I am really happy for this information because he uses these companies for helping others.
Finally, for the third information, I pretty sure that it is something good to be wealthy but why? Because being wealthy gives him a chance to live happily and whatever he wants he can buy. To conclude, the quiz was full of information that helped me a lot.
Thank you
I know Elon musk has bought twitter, made a successful car brand (Tesla) and he designs rockets!
Which of these do you feel will be have most impact in your life?
I think Tesla because it is very successful and I have one myself and it is a very futuristic car. But also I think that the rockets as well as they could find life on other planets
I scored 8/8 I gained a pretty good understanding of Elon Musk and many of his controversial decisions I think that Elon Musk as a influential figure is not the best to follow and even more so with how in past decisions how quick he is to change his mind so I don't believe you should follow his influence in my opinion. I say this because of how things could go left, this is proven with the many past and recent controversies including Elon Musk which is overall not good in any case especially if it's repeatedly. From doing the quiz you could also gain the basic understanding of what type of person Elon Musk is and with his money, power, and influence and how he could quickly take control over something that he shouldn't be involved in the first place. Although Elon Musk's exterior is a powerful, influencing, and the wealthiest still doesn't excuse his actions outside of that exterior and he should be held accountable for it and his selfless actions.
In conclusion I scored 8/8 with the new understanding from the class lesson of what type of person Elon Musk is, I have learned what controversial arguments he's been in and how his power and influence could cause problems especially when he mentions sensitive topics as politics and involving it into social media on his platforms X which was also talked about in the quiz about his political involvements and his platform X (formerly Twitter) and all of this could eventually cause more drama for politics, social media, and whatever may be involved in those categories so yes, I believe Elon Musk is not a decent figure.
Elon Musk is the current richest man in the world, who got most of his money from the Tesla stock in November of 2020 and has earned much more since then. He was born on the 28th of June in 1971 in South Africa, although he later moved to Canada and became a U.S citizen. He achieved an undergraduate degree in economics before he continued on to earn a bachelor's degree in physics.
I scored 7 out of 8 on the test.I also learned that Donald J. Trump picked Elon Musk to be his political advisor. I think Donald Trump picking Elon Musk to be an advisor is a good thing because I think Elon Musk has been a hard worker in the past. He owns several companies, and has done a lot to create those successful companies. I think Elon Musk will work hard to make the Unites States run better.
Thanks for taking the test. Its good that hard work gets rewarded. What do you think Elon's areas of focus will be, to make the United States run better?
I got a score of 7 out of 8 in the test! I know that Elon Musk is the richest person in the world. Donald Trump asked him to be an advisor. Mr. Musk has more than 400 billion dollars, and 200 million followers on X. Mr. Musk has faced accusations for spreading misinformation. He told his millions of followers his negative opinion of a refugee charity. The charity workers have commented hateful comments and threats. He makes mistakes like all of us. I believe he's a good person and uses his money for good things.
I know that Elon Musk Net worth is over 200 billion, he is also the world richest person, recently Donald Trump chose Elon Musk to be the presidential advisor and Elon Musk businesses could benefit from Donald Trump policies.
Elon Musk has misinformation about elections on X to his millions of followers. In February 2022 Elon Musk donated the Starlink terminal to Ukraine to support communication during the war with Russia. The European Union leader have criticised Elon Musk company X for not following the EU rules for online platforms. I learned a lot about Elon Musk today.
I know that ELON MUSK is a business man and he is the richest man in the world. he was born in 1971 in south Africa and he has 12 children he met his first wife, Canadian author Justine Wilson while attending Queens University in Ontario; they where married in 2000. In 2002, their first child died of sudden infant death syndrome at the age of 10 weeks .
I scored 8/8 in the quiz but multiple facts shocked me. The fact that shocked me the most was the fact that Elon Musk is worth over $400 billion dollars as it is slightly confusing how someone can be "worth" or "valued" at that much money let alone money at all. Just a small portion of that money would be able to help many charities and benefit more than thousands of lives.
Another fact that shocked me was the fact that he took to X to tell his hundreds of million followers his negative opinion of a refugee charity. Since those comments were shared on social media, the charity workers have received hateful comments and threats from members of the public. This shows how much influence social media has in our lives today. The workers of the charity should not have received hate due to the comment of Elon Musk as all the workers were trying to do is help those in need.
Elon Musk is a very famous business owner internationally, he is the owner of Tesla and Twitter. He is the most rich person of the world. He is rich, as well as very powerful because he belongs to the present government of United States together with Donald Trump.
One of his objectives is making a spaceship to arrive to Mars, with his business space X.
I scored 7/8 in the quiz. I know that Elon Musk is a very rich and well-known entrepreneur; however, learning that he had 400 billion dollars was shocking to me. That means that if we gave every person in the world one dollar, there would still be about 392 billion dollars left!
Another surprising fact for me was that Donald Trump chose Mr Musk to serve as one of his advisors. By making this decision, Donald Trump gave Elon Musk even more power, which might lead him to become involved in some political situation.
Elon Musk is incredibly powerful; however, I believe this is unfair, as just one tweet from him can cause a business, or anything else, to either fall very quickly or rise very quickly. Elon Musk deserve this immense power because he worked really hard however journalists should keep an eye on him so that he doesn't use his power unfairly.
I actually know a lot about Elon Musk as I have done a lot of research about him. He is the co-founder of pay pal, space X, Tesla,X(formerly Twitter) and many other companies and brands. He is the richest person in the world with a net worth of $400 billion and he has a lot of power. But recently, Elon Musk upset European Union leaders by endorsing one candidate over another in an election. He also told millions of his followers on X about his negative opinion about a refugee charity by which charity members received hateful comments and threats by the public he also spread misinformation about elections on X to his followers.
In my opinion,I think Musk misuses his online platform -X.
One interesting fact I find fascinating about Elon Musk is his recent arguments about the right to 'free speech'. When in the conversations with Twitter regarding buying it, Musk highlighted that he wanted to create a platform where anybody can post their perspectives on the world's most heated debates. Throughout the purchasing period of Twitter, Musk symbolised the turning of the right to free speech into a reality. But the twist in the tales comes when Musk has started to oppress the people who disagree with his views. Elon Musk, since his entry in politics, has been stubborn about the critics of his ideas. This is a violation of the "free speech" right. This just goes on to show how Musk has used his power to make everyone practically agree and support his often controversial issues. I think this move of using social media and raw power to its highest extent, has lead to Musk having a impressive political influence. I also believe that Musk has mislead the youth around the world into supporting abstract ideas. The image of superiority of Musk painted by himself is something I find joy in researching. He has used some unorthodox methods like proclaiming ideas like the 'population collapse' to make people realise his massive influence. He was proven only only by comments that he is a powerful man but by real facts. Only 4 entities have launched a rocket into the orbit and brought it back to the Earth, they include the USA, Russia, China and Elon Musk. I am now confident that Elon Musk might be the first trillionaire and the most influential person in the history books.
Wow, you really have done your research, i would love to know the sources you used for the points about oppressing people who disagree. Thanks
Well we all know that Elon musk is a really significant person in our society today but he has also became a successful businessman in our world he has shown us how to be successful and has even created his own car (Tesla) he had also bought twitter in 2022 ( the pandemic) he is also the co-owner of PayPal …to me he is a really beneficial man who should be proud of himself
I disagree because I feel like he is not a beneficial person. I feel like he is using trump to get up in political positions.
I scored 8 out of 8, but only because I guessed at two. I was surprised to find out that Elon Musk has spread misinformation about elections. I actually did more research and apparently he did spread misinformation in October 2024 on X where he post around 30 comments with misinformation and those comment were seen by 500 million people. He said that Kamala Harris will be a communist dictator which is a total lie, but apparently people believed it. I don't know how you can believe such a lie, but anyways Musk's comments should be deleted or taken from the platform. I also didn't know that Elon Musk had a negative opinion about a refugee charity. So apparently, Musk shared his negative opinion about a Welsh refugee Council because they made a video how boys and girls from a school were friendly with the refugees and they were trying to help them to integrate. What Elon Musk saw from this video is that it was created to attract men immigrants because of the girls, then he shared his negative opinion on social media and his followers, probably without even looking the video from the Welsh Refugee Council, just wrote hateful comments without doing any research at all.
Just because Elon Musk says something, that doesn't mean his right. People should know this.
What I know about Elon Musk is that he is a billionaire with approximately 440 million US dollars which is more than number 2 (Jeff Bezos) and number 3 (Mark Zuckerberg) richest in the world. Elon Musk owns Tesla and SpaceX. He also owns 79% of X (formerly known as twitter). Elon Musk also has 3 citizenships. Each of these these criteria's make him a good role model for young people in the society. But at the same time he has bad characters which he also portrays, being linear polygamy (marries, has children and then gets divorced) it total he has 12 children. These are not good criteria's for children in society.
In conclusion, in my opinion Elon Musk is a good role model and at the same time a bad role model.
Can you explain further how Elon Musk's life, including his relationships and number of children, makes him a bad role model?
I recently came across some facts regarding Elon Musk and his political influence. Before being endorsed by Elon Musk, Donald Trump was a critic of electric cars. The man who refers to climate change as a "hoax" would, no doubt, be a strong opponent of the new electric tech in the automotive industry. I believe Musk was the first to recognize the potential challenges EVs would face. Trump had urged fellow Republicans to publicize his intentions regarding EVs. "Unleashing American Energy" was one of the strongest initiatives Trump promised during his presidency. Trump often highlighted that subsidies on EVs prevented "true customer choice" by making gasoline vehicles far less lucrative. Elon Musk, as the owner of the largest EV company in the United States, must have been shaken. He must have realized that supporting Trump's campaign would benefit Tesla. I also strongly believe that Elon expected Biden to win the election and introduce policies benefiting Tesla. However, Elon must have realized that the failed assassination attempt and Biden's withdrawal virtually ensured Trump's presidency. We can observe that all financial support from Elon to Trump came after these events. Elon's outspoken support for Trump may have led to softer restrictions against EVs. This is another example of Musk using his wealth and power to protect his company. He proved that consistent action can influence world leaders. Now he is a partner of Trump's and holds a position in the Department of Government Efficiency. He has once again proved supremacy not just in tech, but in politics.
Do you think Elon Musk's support for Trump was purely a strategic business move, or do you believe there are deeper reasons behind his political influence?
Who does not know elon musk ? A person with a networth of more than 200 billion dollars.
His full name is elon reeve musk and is currently 54 years old. In these many years he has spread hi legs in most of the industries.he owns multinational companies like SpaceX , X , neuralink, a partner in paypal, tesla and many more .he has control from outer space to the brains of human .
But after so much fame still he has been facing controversies for harsh workplace culture , stock market manipulation etc.
He is also suffering from a syndrome known as asperger syndrome . Which he himself accepted on may 21.
After so much power and influence still he was accused for taking abused substance .
According to me he is also a perfect example of how hardwork can bring you immense succes . He admitted himself that in his early days when he was a child he had to spend his livelihood on a single dollar for a day but now he earns more than 1000 dollars per minute.
He loves to read book, which is also a reason for his success as the books enable our brains to think out of the box.
This is all I know about elon musk the big business tycoon .
I came to know about him from news , online researches and topical talks itself .
This is a very good summary of both sides of Elon Musk. I like how you notice the importance of how hard he works. What do you think about his new position in the US government alongside Donald Trump?
Thank you for the question Henry @ The Economist.
I think that the new position of elon musk as the administrator of the Department of Goverment Efficiency (DOGE) in the US alongside Donald Trump is both beneficial and somewhere there are disadvantages for the US .
As for the positive aspects Elon Musk is a great leader and had excelled his skills for management and so his leadership and knowledge could benefit the technological advancements of the US. Also his hardwork and innovative thinking could become the game changer for the country.
Not only this but his influence all over the world in sectors like space , human science , transportation etc may also strengthen US as a leader in various sectors .
For the negative aspects their could be a risk for misuse of power .musk has obtained a powerful position both in private as well as public sectors and such a strong influence may cause corruption in his fields.
Also a business tycoon to manage about public affairs may be risky as he may take some selfish decisions which may be more beneficial .
His powerfull position may lead to some crimes or illegal things being hidden .
So at last I would like to conclude that Elon musk could be the game changer for the US developement if perfect use of his experience, hard work and expertise is made whereas it should also be ensured that no misuse of power and no censorship is done .
I came to know about all this information from online researches and by reading these comments itself .
Elon Musk is a super interesting person because he’s trying to change the world in big ways. First of all, he’s the guy behind companies like Tesla and SpaceX. Tesla makes electric cars, which are good for the planet because they don’t use gas, and they help fight climate change. But it’s not just about making cool cars; he’s also working on making all our energy sources cleaner, like with solar panels and big batteries to store power.
Then there’s SpaceX. Elon wants to make space travel cheaper so one day we could even live on other planets. He created rockets that can land back on Earth after flying to space. That’s never happened before! It's saving money and making space more accessible. It’s like something from a sci-fi movie, but it’s real.
What’s also wild is his idea of Neuralink, where he’s working on connecting our brains to computers! It could help people who are paralyzed or have brain injuries, letting them communicate or control things with just their minds.
Some people say he’s too ambitious ,for example, he saw electric cars as the future even when everyone else was stuck on gasoline, and now they’re the most popular cars on the market. He also doesn’t mind failing, which is huge because lots of people give up when things go wrong. But Elon keeps going, like when SpaceX’s rockets exploded, but he learned from it and kept improving.
So, whether you love him or not, you can’t deny he’s doing things no one else would even try, and that’s why he’s one of the most interesting and influential people in the world today.
Aside from his work with Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink, what other reasons make Elon Musk such a well-known figure?
Elon Musk is famous for more than just building cool rockets and electric cars. He’s made headlines for lots of different reasons, and not all of them are about success. A big reason people talk about him is because of his tweets.
Another reason he’s so controversial is his management style. He’s known to push his companies and employees really hard. Workers at Tesla, for example, have said he demands a lot, working long hours and facing high expectations. Some admire his drive, but others say it can be stressful and unhealthy. Musk also often challenges traditional ideas. He’s a big fan of moving fast and breaking things, even if it means failing sometimes. This has led to both big achievements and embarrassing failures, like Tesla’s early struggles with manufacturing cars or SpaceX’s early rocket explosions. But those failures don’t stop him. They seem to fuel his desire to prove everyone wrong.
Lastly, his personal life and behavior sometimes add to the drama. He’s been married and divorced multiple times, and he's known for his unusual behavior in public. In 2021, he smoked marijuana on a podcast, and some felt it was unprofessional for someone with so much power.
Despite the mixed opinions, Musk is always a topic of conversation because he’s constantly pushing boundaries, even if it means stepping on toes or risking failure. Whether people love him or hate him, his impact on technology, business, and culture is undeniable.

I got a 6 out of 8 on the quiz and I was shocked to know that Elon musk the richest man on earth has a whopping 400-billion-dollar NetWorth and is one of the advisors of the president of America, Donald trump. One more thing I was shocked to see was Elon musk has about 2oo million followers on twitter which is also called as x. He has more followers on twitter than Cristiano Ronaldo and Justin Bieber and even more than Donald Trump himself. When I heard this, I was like what??? and then I realized he is the owner of twitter so that seems fair. Finally, when I heard Elon Musk sparking debates about his power, I thought Donald Trump will just do something to him, but turns out he embraced it, but I can't say the same for Spanish Pedro Sanchez who made a reference to Elon Musk's online attacks and another one, The British prime minister Sir Keir Starmer. These two people are just an example of the many hundreds of thousands of citizens and politicians who can't embrace this. THANK YOU!!!!!
MR ELON MUSK is a powerful person, which most people know about he associates with the X he makes most of he choices with the X, and jess, he brags because of his position than makes others feel small which is not fair, my point is that he brags because of he position in the community, I can remember the time his members were very angry with him but there had no option than to obey this order remember that he is powerful and he invented alot of things example a and other things thank you.
I scored 7 out of 8 in the quiz, the quiz has helped me to know more about Elon Musk and all his doings ever since he became one of the most powerful persons in the whole world. Some of his doings are actually wrong, like when he did to the German politician by supporting him unfairly. when you have power you should not do things that would hurt other people as the leader you should be able to do things that people like and influence people positively, but he did not.
in my quiz I scored 7 out of 8.
In the quiz I learnt a lot of new things like.
Firstly, Elon musk is presently the new advisor of the President of America Donald Trump, which now gives him more power in the political world. Where by he can advice the president to agree or disagree on a particular matter or issue concerning the state.
Secondly, i learnt that Elon Musk is among the richest men in the world with a net worth of $400 billon. with this huge amount of money one can say that is has power to get whatever he wants.
Thirdly, I learnt that Elon Musk is very influential ever since he bought X formally know as twitter.
In conclusion, from this few things i learnt from the quiz, i would say that Elon Musk is among the most influential people in the world right now and adding icy to the cake he is now in the government as the advisor of the President of America.
I know a lot about Elon musk like : he has 400 billion dollars worth of network, he owns x, tesla and spacex, he has 200 million followers on X and he is the richest man in the world.
He was born on 28 of June in 1971.
I disagree that people hated him because he was treated Germany different
Hi secure_studio - can you explain more about what you mean when you say he treated Germany differently?
Elon Musk sold his first video game to a company for 500$ at the young age of 12 years old.
I got 8 out of 8. Elon Musk was born June 28 1971 in Pretoria ,South Africa. He attended three universities by the names of, University of Pretoria, Queens University and the University of Pennsylvania. He has six children and has been married three times. Elon is very active on X , often sharing his thoughts on various topics and subjects.
Ever since Elon gained his new political status, his influence hasn't been limited to the US.
He has been actively supporting figures in various countries such as Britain, Germany and Canada
The main thing I know Elon Musk for is being a masterful propagandist. His personal myth, much like a hip-hop song about "doing it all himself" or "starting from the bottom" is taken by his fans as gospel. This doesn't fly in reality though, his father, Erron Musk owned an emerald mine and lived in apartheid South Africa. His "start from the bottom" isn't really a thing. He was always from a wealthy family and his stocks rose only because he knew how to exploit the "hype market" that has grown around every technology company. I find people who blindly praise him as misled and conned.
I score 7 out of 8 and I think I improve. but I am striving to get 8 out of 8 I lent so many things like Elon musk is the richest man in the world having over 400 billion. I was surprised when he made Twitter and SpaceX it also made me to discover more about Elon musk THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
I do know that ELON MUSK is the richest man on Earth and owns a lot of companies but what if they are some other people that are in the same or higher class than he is. Would it be a shocking news. I hope that what I am saying has meaning.
I disagree because as he is the richest man on earth and owns a lot of companies people who own higher companies than him should have been noticed by now, but since no one is recognized it means he is the richest man alive.
Elon Musk is the richest person in the world, he is the one who made a first roket which was use to travelled to one on the planet called mars. I know he is also the funder of X.come, tesla, paypal, twitter, which are among or follows the most useful invention ever. He is also known widely as very successful business man in the whole world.
I was able to score 8 out of 8, it was very wonderful learning about fact that I never knew before. I leant that Elon musk has been giving a job as the advisor of the current president of America whose name is Donald trump. I also heard the Elon Musk has faced accusation of spreading misinformation about elections, on X to his million of follower and he also went on X in January telling his follower negative things of refugee charity. This made a lot of public member angry and started to write hateful comment. After everything I think we just landed in one point he is not just rich but at the same time famous and this make he feel have alot of power and not caring about what other people around him feel. THANKS
I know Elon musk is a very rich and wealthy person with a lot of money & power but my question is that, Elon musk 's power isn't it to much as far as he made so many companies like Tesla & SpaceX, Elon musk also did something I don't like, for example when he was telling Germen people what to do.
Elon Musk is the worlds richest man. He bought Twitter and renamed it X. He has had 12 kids with three different women and he is from a south African Musk family. He owns a company that made a self driving car Tesla and he has a wish to live on Mars. He believes that there is oxygen there and the conditions are favorable to humans.
THANKS!
Did any of the information in the quiz surprise you? If so, what was it and why?
Elon musk is the richest person in the world with a net worth over 400 billion and 200 million followers on X his company. Mr Musk donated starlink terminal ( internet) to Ukraine 🇺🇦 to support communications during the war in Russia 🇷🇺. Mr Musk works with Tesla ( a car brand )
He has lots of money and he uses his followers for X and other apps and is trying to become the president
Elon Musk was born the 28 of June 1971, in South Africa. This man is a entrepeneur and business magnate known for his contributions to very different kinds of technology and Explorations. He is consider one of richest men in the hole world. His fortune is estimated to be arround $400 billion dollars. He was recently selected as an adviser by the Donald Trump, president of USA.
Elos Musk, co-founded Zip2, an online city guide, wivh was finally sold to Compac for arroun $307 million dolars. He realese PayPal, obtained by eBay for $1.5 billion dolars.
Later in 2002, he founded SpaceX for the developming of space exploration and investigations of life in other planets.
He is also the co-founder of Tesla, a car brand that works in the development of electric vehicles, batteries and articles involved in solar energy.
To last, he also founded Neuralink wich works on brain-machine portals.
For the quiz, I got 7 out of 8. The quiz really tested my knowledge and I got a little bit stuck on the last question about the German election, I didn’t know that the European Union leaders got cross with Elon Musk about influencing the German election. It seems that Elon Musk is getting ahead of himself with his power because it isn’t nice to boost a candidate unfairly when he is not supposed to even be in the German election. I think Elon Musk feels he can take over because he has a net worth of over $400 billion. It isn’t fair that only because he has a lot of money- he is the richest person in the world- that he can take over. I feel that the main reason this is happening is that as he has loads of money lots of people follow him so he has a lot of support when he isn’t even doing the right thing. Recently, Elon Musk has been interfering in global issues and sometimes he makes the wrong choices but his followers back him up just because he is the richest man in the world. Elon Musk also owns Tesla and SpaceX so he gets a lot of money from that. Additionally, he has a strong relationship with the president of America, Donald Trump, but I actually think he has bought his way into a good relationship with someone in a strong political position. The only thing that makes him so famous and powerful is money. It’s not fair that people become powerful due to money. It needs to change as soon as possible. It is not fair at all.
I know that Elon Reeves Musk is a very successful man. He owns many beneficial companies such as Paypal(he is actually a co-founder but it counts.) Tesla,which is one of the most next gen cars to buy. He also owns X(previously called Twitter) and Space X. Next he is also widely known for his strong relationship with president Donald Trump. He is also the father of 12 children. He is also known for having a net worth of 400 Billion dollars. This may sound untrue but because of his bond with trump and all of his companies he is thought to be the richest person on Earth.I also know that he has over 2 Million followers on X/Twitter. Lastly I scored 7/8 on the quiz so I think that I have a good understanding on Elon Reeves Musk A.K.A the richest man alive.:)
Elon Musk is a very well-known person partly because he is the CEO of Tesla and Twitter, it was the founder of PayPal and many other companies who put him where he is now: The richest man on the planet.
He is a very smart man, but I believe he has always used his power for personal benefits. One of the most famous cases was when he announced he was buying Twitter, due to his influence the shares of Twitter increased, moment in which he sold all of its shares of the company, then he announced he was finally not buying it so the shares dropped, (time for purchasing again), and lastly he announced he was finally buying Twitter, the shares increased and he sold all of them just before buying it.
This example shows how it is not the first time he uses his influence and power to obtain money and even more power, which makes him have more influence again, used for obtaining more money and power. It is an infinite spiral. I got 7 out of 8 answers correct, and I always thought I knew a lot of things about Elon Musk but this new story surprised me a lot.
In my opinion Elon Musk is a negative person. Many people believe Elon Musk has faced accusations about spreading misinformation about elections. This information could have caused people to change their votes. Elon Musk hosted a live stream to his 200 million followers on X and Germany felt like he was boosting a candidates votes unfairly. I believe this is a reason why President Donald Trump won the election. Elon Musk company X has been criticized for not following the EU {European Union} rules. The rules state that harmful content needs to be controlled to make sure the internet is being used appropriately If the harmful content continues the app will most likely be removed. I also feel like Elon Musk will soon take over Trump's presidency. His net worth of 400 billion is also why lots of people think he is a beneficial person. Lastly I believe he will continue to do these things if he is elected.
I know that Elon Musk is a very powerful and rich person. He owns companies like Space X , Tesla, and X (social media platform). Furthermore he recently offered to buy TikTok after its major ban in USA and Australia. His net worth is over 400 billion pounds. He has also been given the chance to advisor the President of the USA Donald Trump
Today we learned about Elon Musk. Here are some of the things I learned. First, Elon is the richest man in the world with a net worth of $400 billion. Second, he owns companies like Tesla, SpaceX, X(formally Twitter), etc. Third, Donald Trump made Elon the presidential advisor after he won the election. Also, Elon made Ukraine leaders mad when he said that Ukraine should give territory to Russia for peace. Finally, He told his followers negative opinions about a refugee charity making his followers send hateful comments and threats to the workers. Those are some of the many things I learned in today's lesson.
I got an 8 out of 8 and I learned that Elon Musk has created many companies, and now he is a government advisor. Mr musk is currently loved by many people for having a relationship with Donald Trump . Some of the businesses he owns are Space x, Twitter , and Tesla. I disagree with most of his decisions including him making it where Donald Trump was selected as president. On the news it says that Elon musk could have bought the votes. I agree with the news because Donald Trump and Elon were super close around the time of the election. So maybe he did this to get money from president Trump or for a place in the white house. Another thing I disagree with is why is he so famous for his money I believe he should be famous for being kind and nice instead of being famous for his money and his bad choices. But there is a thing that I agree with. I agree that Elon musk tesla company is overrated and should be less famous even though it's not that good. I believe that Elon musk did not deserve a spot with president Trump. All these facts show that Elon musk is not such a good person and should be not so powerful. He should tone down on the popularity and focus on being a good person. His contributing startlank termaniels to Ukraine's war was not good. Instead of him making it last longer he should have stopped it. With this personality he should not be famous, rich, or loved for his money. He should maybe try to get a good personality and a better life. In my opinion Elon musk should make better decisions .
Elon Musk's network is 400 billion dollars.
Elon Musk has a couple of companies like tesla and spaceX,also he is Donald Trump's advisor.
Elon is also the owner of twitter or X. He is the co-founder for paypal.
Not only did he make drive less cars he also made flying cars.
All of Elon's companies are successful. Many kids want to grow up and be like him.
Elon told people on X His negative opinion of a refugee charity because of that the charity workers have gotten hateful comments and threats.
These are reasons why I think some people don't like Elon and some people do.
I scored 8/8 on the quiz. I already know he is the richest person in the world, but I didn't know he had over 400 billion dollars.He also has 200 million followers on X which can be also known as Twitter.He also owns Tesla and SpaceX he at least owns several companies. Elon Musk is a government advisor for President Donald Trump.Elon Musk could be known or famous for his money,political position,and social media influence. I also heard how Elon Musk paid money so Donald Trump could win the election.I don't know if this is false or true. Elon Musk has been getting accusations of spreading misinformation about the elections on Twitter to his followers. He also gave 1 million dollars in a swing state each day if they signed a petition. I feel like that petition was for if they want money they have to sign that they have to vote for Donald Trump in order to get money.I think of him as a good guy but also a bad person.
I know Elon Musk is currently the richest person in the world and owns companies such as X ( twitter), Tellsa and , space x. Americas president Donald J Trump has picked Elon Musk to be the president advisor which I believe is a great achievement! These are all great on his side but there are some bad things on other people's side this is what I believe is wrong with Elon Musk. He went on live stream and endorsed a particular party in the Germany election on his x account. For example he did a live stream to his followers with the party leader. This upset European Union leaders who felt Mr Musk was breaking rules by boosting one candidate unfairly. European Union leaders have criticised Mr Musk's company X for not following the EU's rules for online platforms. The rules aim to control harmful content and ensure the internet is being used safely. Mr Musk disagrees and he then said that he was offered an "illegal secret deal" if he changed what he wrote online without telling anyone. Since Mr Musk took over X in 2022 the use of hateful language on the platform has increased substantially. Which now makes me think he might be the problem on the platform. I think what gives him the most power is his spot in the political position and that his should also fix his ways.
After learning what Elon Musk has done to the world I think he has too much power . He also needs limits on what he can do and can't do to countries. He paid people to vote for Donald Trump. This got Donald Trump his presidential position in America. People should not be able to do this. He might make changes because he is the government advisor . Having this position might give him a lot of power over America. The changes and effects he is making in America could possibly create bad problems and make America a bad place. He has also done these types of things in other countries . He started a party on X during the German election and he boosted another candidate. He has also done other things in other countries. These are the reasons why I believe Elon Musk has too much power over America and other countries. He also needs limits on what he can do and can't do to countries.
I have scored an 8 out of 8 and i have learned that Elon Musk has been friends with Donald Trump he owns many businesses just like SpaceX, Tesla and he owns the app X (which used to be Twitter). Elon musk is hated for owning the company Tesla. I often disagree with the actions that he makes. One example is that he had to campaign for Donald Trump on his own app, which is X. Elon Musk gave Trump over 277 million dollars to run his campaign. Elon Musk has bought Twitter to combat what he saw as excessive censorship. I feel Elon Musk should focus on being a better person rather than focusing on being rich. Elon can possibly stop trying to be higher in rank and do good things. He is also trying to be friends with the president for more power, and he should try to be himself instead of the things that he does already.
I have an 8/8. And I think Elon Musk just wants power and money . I think this is because he has 3 companies Tesla , Space X, and twitter/ X etc . Now he has more than 400 billion dollars. He is friends with Donald Trump who is the president right now and he chose Elon musk to be a presidential advisor.
He has millions of followers on X/twitter. Some people think that Trump gives him money. I think he is just here for his money and his companies . I also think that he is a bad person and needs to be stopped because he is breaking the rules and he has too much power.
What i know about Elon Musk.
I know that Elon Musk is the richest person in the world with an outstanding amount of 400 billion money.
Elon Musk also owns some companies, 2 of his companies are tesla and spacex
The European Union leader made fun of and criticized Elon's companies for not following the EU rules.
Elon hosted a live stream and purposely did it in the German election on his X account, this really upset the European Leaders, They felt that Elon was breaking rules.
So I think that Elon Musk should stop misleading people and not making people sign a petition for him to become president for the people who signed it to get a chance to get $1 million everyday.
Elon also told his followers on X how he had a bad opinion or a negative opinion about a charity with mostly refugees.
Soon, the charity was getting sent mean comments and threats just because Elon had said he had a negative opinion about this charity.
So in conclusion, I think that Elon should be making better choices and not mislead his followers to do bad things, like send threats to charities about him not liking the charity, And I think he has too much power.
There are many things I have learned from this quiz, along with forming my opinion while answering the questions. In my opinion I believe that Elon Musk can only be powerful due to him having more money than anyone and also having more of a social media performance and influence. This is because he owns the social media platform known as X (previously known as Twitter). The fact that he has the title of richest man In the world and that means his power is from his money. I honestly believe that Elon Musk is a good business owner. But, he is being accused of spreading misinformation about the election to his viewers and followers on X. I also overall feel that he is a good person that doesn't make good decisions.
As a score of 8 out of eight, I know that Elon Musk is one the the top 3 richest people in the world and he is the richest one. He bought Twitter also now known as X. He bought X in 2022. Elon Musk recently shared his opinions on Nigel Farage, the leader of the Reform political party in Britain, with his more than 200 million followers.
Elon Musk wanted to give a random person 1 million dollars each day.
Today we learned about Elon Musk, in this paragraph I am stating my opinion on Mr Musk, Elon Musk is overall a rich guy, he is a presidential advisor for Mr Trump. His role in being the richest person in the world gives him the power to basically buy any company he wants, he has a sum of around 420 billion dollars, he also tweeted his negative tweets of a refugee charity.
I know that Elon is the richest person on Earth and I think he has put hard work into it and I think he desevs it.He has a net-worth of 400 billion dollars.He also owns multiple business like Tesla and X.He has 200 million followers on X.He has sold over 6.75 million Teslas.It is also one of the biggest car company's .Elon Musk owns 7 company's.He is now a Gorenorment adviser for Trump.They are great friend and know each other very well.He has also made many robots and tech equipment.
Elon Musk is the richest person in the world. He owns the companies Tesla, SolarCity, and Twitter. On X(Twitter) he has over 200 million followers. Elon Musk gives out a million dollars to random people to try to persuade people . When Donald Trump got chosen for president he chose Elon Musk to be a presidential advisor. He made his first billion dollars at 27 years old. He made a game when he was a teenager called Blastar. In 2012 he became a billionaire. Elon Musk has over $400 billion. His most successful company is Tesla for 2025. Elon Musk also did bad things like interfering with Ukraine's war. Elon Musk donated Starlink terminals to Ukraine to support communication during the war with Russia. He also asked his followers should Ukraine give up some of their territory to Russia for peace but that only made things worse. So in conclusion I think Elon Musk is the most richest person in the world.
Elon musk is the richest person known to man ,with the network of 400 billion. He also took over X mostly known as twitter. Elon musk own's many compines like Tesla one thing like about the Tesla is that it drives by itself . He is also Donolad Trump's advisor. Some people say that he is a bad person but I dont agree. What I agree about is that he doesn't make all good desion's. Elon gave a random stranger 100 million dollars in my opinion he was being kind. and he was making good desions .
Elon Musk is an internationally famous businessman known as the owner of Tesla and Twitter. He is currently the richest person in the world and he has a significant influence in U.S politics with President Donald Trump.
I scored a 7 out of 8 in the test. The fact that surprised me the most was the huge amount of money he has: 400 billion dollars. Just a little bit of that wealth could help in many ways, such as improving thousands of people's lives. But Elon Musk didn't become so rich and powerful easily. He worked very hard, came up with new ideas, and he never gave up: In 2008, both of his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, almost went bankrupt. SpaceX, his rocket company, had tried to launch a specific rocket three times, but each time it failed. At the same time, Tesla, his electric car company, was trying to sell a new car during a time when the world's economy was not doing well. Elon Musk only had 40 million dollars left and he had to decide how to spend it to save his companies. Instead of choosing one company, he decided to spend the money on both. His decision worked, and SpaceX finally succeeded with its rocket. Tesla also survived thanks to a loan from the U.S government. Tesla paid back the loan once it got better.
Even though Elon Musk faced many problems, he didn't quit. Today, he has a lot of power and influence. He can even change things with just a tweet. But with this power, he needs to be careful to not use it in the wrong way. His success is because of all the hard work he did, but he must use his influence responsibly to make sure it helps everyone.
From what I know Elon Musk is one of the richest person in the world and has a massive influence and audience. Although he was born in a poor family in Pretoria, South Africa, his passion and curiosity made him achieve the impossible. He is currently the CEO of SpaceX, which tries to reduce space shuttles costs and enable Mars colonization and Tesla, which revolutionizes the car industry, being the first company to create self-driving cars. Also, he co-founded Open AI which produces AI tools like Chat GPT we al use nowadays. Musk is now 54 years old and praised for his sustainable and innovative solutions to today's problems. But however rich he is, he donates an amount of his money to charities mostly focusing on sustainable energy, education and healthcare. Last but not least, despite being in the autism spectrum, he himself describes this as "a never ending explosion of ideas", inspiring young people to not give up on their dreams, despite obstacles or disabilities.
Elon Musk is business man and conservative political figure now for his key rules in companies like
1-Tesla 2-Space x 3-x crop. He's also the wealthiest individual in the world. An advoeate for it's potential and avocal clitic of it's dangers. He studies physics and ecanomics at the university. Elon Musk born in June 28, 1971 (age 53 as of 2025).
I know that Elon Musk is a very well know person all over the world. He has over 200 million followers on X. He is owner CEO of Tesla Motors.
He is currently 53 years old, he is the worlds richest person, his full name is Elon Reeze Musk, he was born on the 28th of June 1971.
In conclusion/summary all things are going well for him at the moment but not the people on X because he is causing many problems and causing arguments across X which was twitter
So let’s keep the conversation going
We scored 7 out of 8 on the quiz. We know that Elon Musk, despite being popular in the USA and working for Trump's government was born in South Africa. He has recently come under criticism online for a supposed German salute at Donald Trump's inauguration. He is one of the richest men in the world with a net worth of $400 billion +. He is owner of X, Space X and Tesla, and currently works alongside Donald Trump in the American government.
I think that Elon Musk is irresponsible with X (formerly twitter) because it spread misinformation of a refugee on X (which lead to threats to the charity that didn't even do anything wrong) and thus make him face accusation. The behaviour was so bad, the EU government had to do behaviour regulations on X since Elon bought Twitter. He also donated Internet to Ukraine to support communication during the war with Russia and he wanted peace but he tried to threaten Ukraine that if they don't give some land to Russia he wont supply funds for the internet but then he later reversed the decision because it might be the backlash from the member of the public.
I scored 8/8. I know that Elon Musk is the co-founder of the social media company X (formerly known as twitter). Mr.Musk bought twitter in 2022, and he currently owns 79% of the social media company. He also owns Tesla, paypal, spaceX. Elon musk is a co-founder of paypal but he isn't considered as one of the co-founders, the co-founders of paypal are Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek. He is a very successful social media business owner and he is now a political figure when he was requested to be an advisor by president Donald Trump.
I scored 8 out of 8 in the quiz, Elon Musk is one of the top richest man in the world due to his creativity. He hails from Pretoria in South Africa he taught himself computer programming and sold his video game code at age twelve. As of 2022 Elon Musk was the richest man in the world whose networth was 219 billion dollars and his source of income is from Tesla one of the biggest companies in the world which manufactures thousands of cars and millions of batteries and he also owns X ( formerly known as Twitter) one of the most popular social network platforms.
Elon Musk is also one of the special unpaid government officials in United States in the regime of Donald Trump. He is not paid because he is a special government official and also to avoid his financial details to be disclosed. Elon Musk has a networth of 421.6 billion USD.
this quiz was hard and i felt like i did a alright job on it i got a whopping 7/8
Well done meticulous_music - what did you learn in the quiz?
i think its wrong to spread misinformation on purpose but if it was an accident then i understand that
I scored an 8/8. I know that Elon Musk is the richest man in the world, as long as he founded or co-founded many companies such as Tesla, X (Twitter), and SpaceX, Paypal/X.com, OpenAI, and much more. I also know that he has 12 children and had 3 different divorces. He has brought hatred from supporting a German unfairly during an election and made his followers attack people. He is also considered a political figure because of his relationship with Donald Trump. Overall, Elon Musk is a good person in a way, but also is not at moments.
Things that I know about Elon Musk are that he is the owner of this huge car company named Tesla. Also he is the founder of a social media platform called X. Elon Musk is also the owner of space X which is a huge rocket ship company. From all of this I said he seems to pretty much be a business man.
In today's class I learned a lot about elon musk and my peers' different opinions on his wealth and power.I learned the Elon musk bought Twitter and turned it into X his own social media platform.I also learned that he had a big influence in the passed 2024 elections.For example there was a card in a activity that we played that said he gave one million dollars to someone ramdaly if they signed a petition and after that when donald trump won he made him a presidential advisor.Mr. musk also owns Tesla a very popular car company.
I know that Elon Musk is a very rich and powerful person and I say this because:
Elon Musk's net worth is around $400 billion and has at least 200 million followers on social media. Speaking of social media, Elon had also bought Twitter and changed the social media app to X. He even owns the companies Tesla and SpaceX.
I also know that Donald Trump made Elon Musk a government advisor. Trump even created a new position of the U.S government called D.O.G.E (Dept. of Government Efficiency) just for Musk. And, Elon Musk spread misinformation about elections on his new social media platform (X) to millions of followers. We believed that this helped Trump win the election in the US.
Also, there is a theory that Elon is the puppeteer of Donald Trump and is making Trump do whatever Mr. Musk says. And I wonder, is that really true?🤔🤔🤔
Today, I learned about Elon Musk. I now know what companies he owns, and why some people think his power is a problem. First of all, he owns "X", which used to be Twitter, but he bought Twitter and named it X. He also has an account on X, with over 200 million followers. Now, as far as his power goes, his power is a problem. He takes advantage of his power to do what ever he wants, like influencing elections, but because he is famous most people ignore that this is a problem. For example, he said negative things about a refugee charity, and because of what he said the charity workers got hateful comments and threats from members of the public. Charities do good for people! He had also faced accusations of spreading false information. He had got the position of advisor from Donald Trump, my president of USA. But I believe that he has too much power, please tell me your opinion about this in the comments.
Some things I know about Elon Musk are during Trump's campaign to become president of the U.S, Elon Musk created a supporter lottery. He announced that he would give away $1 million each day to people living in a swing state, if they signed a petition. He took over Twitter which is now called X and he is currently a financial advisor with his new position in the DOGE.
Something that I know Elon Musk has done are, one donated a source of internet called starlink to Ukraine In June of 2023 in support of the ongoing war over there, two I know that Elon Musk has accumulated 400 billion US Dollars over his 53 years of living.
Elon Musk is the richest man in the world arguably the most powerful and owns Tesla, SpaceX, The boring company, neuralink and X- formerly known as twitter. This implements how successful he is Elon Musk was born in South `Africa to a rich family and moved to the United States for University. He became a millionaire at 27 and a billionaire at 41 which tells us how business minded he is . But with great fame comes great controversy as Elon Musk has squabbled with people online as well as face to face which includes him spreading false information in social media and has been accused of sexism, antisemitism and appeared to be doing a Nazi gesture in the past . He has also faced challenges with his health as he has come out and said he has been diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome a form of autism .
Hello topical talkers,
Elon musk is a successful business starter and a political figure being the assigned as the advisor of the president, Donald Trump. He actually owns many company, some of them being space X , X (known as twitter) and Tesla (successful car company). His total net worth comes up to be over 400 Billion dollar which is largest net worth ever recorded. Currently, he is trying to discover and build new things on planet Mars. Thank you!
Elon Musk is the world's richest person , he was born June 28, 1971, in South Africa he's net worth is estimated to about $400 billion, he is the co-founder of Tesla and Spacex which is now called Twitter and he created AI- Artificial Intelligence. Musk is known for his visionary mindset,risk-taking, and controversial statement, making him one of the most influential figures in Tech and Space exploration.
What I know is that Elon Musk is a famous businessman and inventor from the United States. He was born in South Africa in 1971. He is known for starting companies like Tesla, which makes electric cars, and SpaceX, which builds rockets to go to space. Elon Musk is also involved in projects like the electric battery company called SolarCity and creating new ideas for future technology. He is very smart and has a big dream of making life better by using technology, like creating colonies on Mars. I think he is very inspiring because he is very successful and always thinking of new ideas!
I know that Elon musk is the most richest man in the world and that he is diagnosed with autism. He has fame and owns Tesla and X so he has power too silence people on X which I personally think is quite scary. But it’s not only that it’s that his relation ship with Donald trump is so strong that Elon musk works for him and so when some body wants too take his place Elon musk can tell the whole world on X that Donald trump is this great powerful man and so people believe him and vote for Donald trump. What I personally think is that Elon musk and Donald trump use each other. Elon musk uses Donald trump because he is the president of America and Donald trump uses Elon musk because he is rich and powerful. In fact once a pon a time Donald trump and Elon musk were enemy’s and Elon musk in fact once banded Donald trump from X.
I was shocked to know that Elon Musk said negative things about a refugee charity. Even if he wasn’t a celebrity how could anyone say bad stuff about a charity that helps people in need His words carry a lot of weight and sadly the charity even got threats because of it. This really shows how careful people with big influence need to be, especially when talking about important things like charity and refugees.
In my own understanding, Elon Musk was the founder of tesla, which deals electric cars, batteries and other components of a car. He became the chief executive officer in 2008. He also founded a company that created rockets and aircrafts through a company called spaceX. He is also the owner of a social media platform called X, formally called tweeter. Elon musk also co-founded paypal, an online payment method.
Elon Musk, as I know him, has been trying to make a solar city capable of generating electricity. He has also helped in donations like, when he contributed cyber trucks to a los angeles country to help them with light problems, and internet issues.
So I am trying to tell you about Elon Musk, and his contributions.
Thanks,
I know that Elon Musk is the CEO of Twitter ( now known as X), and Tesla. He is the richest person in the world worth over 400 billion US dollars. Elon musk is also known for spreading misinformation on his social media platform, which is not a good thing to do.
He was born on June 28, 1971 making him 53 years old now. His full name is Elon Reeve Musk. He also has 12 children and has 3 wives.
In this world, not even a single person do no know about the king of business, Elon Musk. He is the richest person in the and his net worth is approximately $ 426 billion, if we want to create something new from this money, that money goes unlimited. One of his nickname, that I had aware of is, "the real-life iron man" because of his innovative and futuristic ideas which will bring a extraordinary output like the great car company tesla and a space research organisation, which is on fire, Space X .he is the founder of tesla and space X which marked a significant role in rapidly increasing the economy of the country United States of America. He is not only the shining star in business, he is also the star in social media, and he has a dual attraction, in the media and business. He has approximately 70 million followers in twitter which I got astonished. He is attracted in twitter due to his innovative business technologies, ideas, and also scientific things. He is the richest person in the world and also the person with more followers in twitter, this is unbelievable...
Elon Musk. When you hear this name you may think about power, money, politics, some famous companies… But, above all, controversy. These last months, we’ve all seen some questionable and shocking news about the famous billionaire. Do you want to find them out?
So, first things first, like all things and persons, his actions are not just just black or white: we have to reflect about them and take into account all points of view. For this reason, I would say that of course he has done great things (scientifically and technologically speaking) : without going far, we can talk about a true technological revolution, all thanks to him and his employees work. Companies such as Tesla, Neuralink or SpaceX are controlled by the same man, the one we all know.
But now… Talking about politics and his current decisions… He's leaving much to desire.
Today, the fact that I'm most concerned about is how much he is supporting Donald Trump these days. In my opinion, Trump and Musk may have a lot of power, but it is definitely released in the wrong hands: such racist, homophobic policies and ideas that even deny climate change or the existence of medicine shouldn't be allowed. And all of this without taking into account other issues such as all the misinformation and influence on X or his opinion about his trans daughter, for example.
So, tell me, in your opinion, is Elon Musk’s power something we all should be aware of? What do you think about him?
I hope you liked my comment! Thank you for reading!!
You make some really interesting points, @fairminded_strawberry, particularly regarding misinformation. Do you think it is ever possible to ensure that people can tell the difference between facts and opinions?
Hello, Isabelle! Before answering to your question, thank you for your reply!
So... Do I think it is ever possible to ensure that people can tell the difference between facts and opinions? Hmm... You asked me a very difficult question...! However, let me try to tell you my opinion about this topic!
To start with, facts and opinions are very different terms. The first one has to be verified using an objective point of view, while the second expresses a belief, a feeling... As you can see, I think that between both there is a big gap of meaning.
Despite this... It's true that we, humans, usually try to convince others with our opinions by just saying that they are "facts". To put an example (I hope it's not offensive), I consider myself an atheist. However, if I try to deny something (about existence) to a believer of any religion, they would probably answer me by saying it is a fact. Who is truly right? I don't know!
Besides, I think that the most important thing about facts is that they should be proved. If they are not proved objectively, then they aren't facts. But, who knows how many things exist that we can't prove? In addition, where do we put the wall between objective and subjective? So, what is the point of this statement?
I think that is enough to answer your question! However, feel free to ask me about anything more!!
Maybe, you have left me with more questions than answers, haha. 🙂
I scored 8/8.
The fact that really shocked me was the amount of money Elon Musk earns a year: $400 billion dollars. It was the fact that he doesn't give any money to the world and the people who need it and that was what blew my mind.
He also likes to interfere in other people's business. Recently he has posted on X (twitter) that Nigel Farage isn't good enough to be the leader of the Reform party, this comment sparked debates in the UK parliament about whether Mr Farage should be the leader of the reform UK party. But this isn't up to Mr Musk's to decide.
The most shocking fact was that Elon Musk said racist things about charity workers on X and his 200 million followers started saying racist and nasty things about the charity workers. Elon clearly doesn't think highly of people lower then him and he doesn't respect anyone except himself.
Elon Musk damages a lot of the planet especially the Congo, which is the only place to get the minerals for Tesla. He is wanting to buy Congo so he can have the minerals for himself and make him even richer. He is just a very greedy man and people should watch over him more carefully.
I know Elon Musk named his kids X Æ A-12 and Exa Dark Sideræl. He has said he has Asperger's. He has also voiced characters in animated series such as The Simpsons, South Park, and Rick and Morty. He has appeared in films such as Iron Man 2, Machete Kills, and on shows such as The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon. I mean, I think he's a curious and interesting guy to meet.
Elon Musk was a very rich person. He had £400 billion pounds. Musk is a businessman and conservative political figure known for his key roles in the automotive company Tesla, Inc. and the space company SpaceX. The crook was later able to convince the woman to take out the loans of around $10,696 and $15,865, Sena said, and had the money wired to several bank accounts set up under fraudulent names. He had
lots of money so he could get lots of PlayStation, XBOXS and Avatars.
I learned that Mr. musk is a powerful man who has the ear of the president also having 200 million on his platform called x he also bought twitter in 2022 and he owns the automotive company called Tesla and is co founder of the online payment firm paypal
On this quiz, I scored an 8/8. Elon Musk is the richest man in the world, I've learned about him years ago, however, my perspective on him has changed as the years passed and I became more informed of him. I used to believe that he was a great role model, someone who despite being bullied throughout his childhood proved himself by created a game at a young age and selling it. That was the start of his career, and later on in his life, he cofounded PayPal, created Space X and he was a funder of the famous car brand, Tesla. To me, his life seemed perfect, the perfect role model. However, now that I'm older, I realize the darker side of Elon Musk. He is NOT the perfect role model but he's the perfect model of the wrong ways someone can use wealth and power. According to The Guardian.com, Elon Musk posted a comment on X calling the British diver who rescued some boys who were trapped in a flooded cave, a "pedo". Despite this claim being false, he was persistent on calling him this and this caused backlash to the diver. Furthermore, Elon Musk donated satellites to Ukraine during the war to increase their chances at success, yet, he posted comments to his followers like "Should Ukraine hand over some territory to Russia in exchange for peace?", by this he's basically saying the Ukrainians should bow down to Russia. Also, this week he got rid of an ENTIRE department, USAID, whose goal was to eliminate poverty and create strong democratic societies. Elon Musk is far from the perfect role model, he's stubborn, double-faced, and heartless when it comes to anything but the wealthy.
I know Elon Musk is worth over 400 billion dollars and he has faced accusation of spreading misinformation about election. I also know Elon Musk has endorsed a particular party in german election on his X account.
Elon Musk is a highly influential entrepreneur known for leading companies like Tesla , SpaceX and X (formerly twitter) . From what I know he has played a major role in shaping industries like electric vehicles , space exploration and artificial intelligence .
One key fact is that Musk uses social media to directly communicate with people , often making important announcements or sharing his opinions on X . This has given him significant influence over public discussions , financial markets and even political debates. For example a single tweet from him can impact stock prices or cryptocurrency values .
Another fact is that SpaceX , one of his most ambitious projects , is working on making space travel more affordable and aims to colonize Mars. His company Starlink is also providing internet access globally through satellite technology.
Musk's impact is both praised and criticized . Some admire his vision and innovation , while others question his influence and the risks of his decisions . Overall he is one of the most powerful figures technology and business today.
I know that Elon Musk is a well known business man. Known for his key roles in the automotive company Tesla and the space company spaceX. He is also known for his ownership of the social media service X and his role in the founding of the company xAI, Neuralink and openAI. Musk is the wealthiest individual in the world with an estimated net worth of 426 billion.
Elon Musk, a renowned personality all around the world and often called 'The Richest Man in The World'. His passion and hardwork enabled him to achieve these great heights and made him successful. We all know that he has made his own empire. This is of course the result of his hardwork, but also his critical thinking ability and planning skills. He is currently the CEO of Tesla Motors, CEO of SpaceX and also the Chairman and Chief Technology Officer of X (previously Twitter). His current total net worth is around $400 B which is not at all a small amount.
This power has attracted millions of people which have been influenced by him and are following him on X, resulting in his current following of around 200M people.
But it is a fact that life is full of ups and downs. Same with Elon Musk, he has been accused for spreading misinformation on immigration despite being an immigrant himself. But still, he does not give up and continue achieving heights.
I scored an 8/8 and gained a better insight in the power that Elon Musk hold not just as the founder of SpaceX or CEO of Tesla and Twitter but also the role he plays in politics of the USA and other countries like Germany.
As a visionary he has gifted humanity reusable space tech, thus aiding to sustainability and progress. However there have been instances when he has certainly over looked the consequences of actions on the internet such as when he targetted a refugee charity leading to the whole internet being flooded with hate against this very trust. Also he made a controversial remark targetting the LGBTQ community allowing the users on X to target them and run anti-LGBTQ campaigns. As infuriating as it sounds Elon Musk has a huge following who tends to follow his ideologies and believe his opinions and think of him as right or even superior, however this does not account to the controversies he often stirs and meddles in country's democracy, stripping off the possibilities of fair elections and independent voters. These all instances might even lead us to hate him but deep down we also need to understand that he has Asperger syndrome, a syndrome held accountable for communication issues and often should understand that what might sound highly offensive is just a delivery problem. Also, as users, need to acknowledge our roles into understanding what is worth being viral or being on the feeds rather than assuming its in someone else's hands. We need to understand that we are the most powerful entities on the internet and its upto us that who and what we want to see.
My scored was 7/8
With this topic I have learned that there are people in the world that, just having money (lots of money), power and popularity, can change the mind of lots of people and can influence them until the point of making them think as they want, making them do what they want...
Imagin you want to do something that you think is good but, in that moment, you see a post of a person you follow (Elon Musk, for example) and, on it, you read something is not true but, as he is seying that, lots of people change their points of view and started to believe on what they have just read. What would you do? Would you change your mind or would you follow your feelinge and thoughts?
From now on remenber that you are the only one that can influence yourself to do what you believe is good or bad, to feel what you think and to leave as you want.
Elon Musk is one of the richest people on earth but that does not mean that his richness should be a misuse of power and influence because he owns many companies, he should be able to use his money for good always. Elon Musk built a hotel in mars which sounds good, he also built a communication satellite which Ukraine used during war. He should keep the good work in order to prevent problems, because the spreading of fake news got some people angry.
Elon Musk is one of richest in the world with money, power, and influence, with many followers on X , he also owns so many companies around the world with so many followers which gives him more power and money and he also has influences too.
Elon Musk is one of the most powerful celebrities and he could even be the most powerful man in the world. A net worth of over 200 billion and he owns some of the most famous and biggest brands in the world like Tesla X (Twitter) and Space x. I think he is taking advantage of his money. Say there was ever a vote he could pay people to convince who ever he votes for. I think every time someone talks about Elon musk it has to be about money. I believe he should not be important in the way of political position because he is already one of the most famous people in the world and if not most famous. I understand that he earned his money fairly but the stuff he is doing with it is not good like hes now giving away 1 million dollars to a random person everyday. He should stay humble with the money he has. He also helps the environment by making electric cars that damage that damage the environment less.
I've learnt alot about Elon Musk through this discussion, it piqued my curiosity about him and i couldn't help but read more about him and how he became the world's MOST powerful person via social media, politics, and money! So, as we've learnt about Elon Musk recently interfering in the US elections and how Donald Trump has honored Elon as one of his personal advisors.. I've read about how Elon Musk is now involved in US governance and has access to sensitive details. A new government department has been established by President Trump and has assigned Elon Musk to lead this department; DOGE, Department of government efficiency. This department has been given access to federal information technology systems.
All this has recently been in news and raised concerns about potential threat to nation's security and data security breaches. How did Elon Musk get all this power? Afterall, he is still an unauthorized induvidual who has gained access to such sensitive informations. And what has made him be so trust worthy all of a sudden?
All this sounds so foreign to me. I believe Elon musk is an awesome entrepreneur, and is doing incredible at his enterprise and should be limited to business!
I think that Elon Musk is not very good because some people addicted to x and that might ruin their brain and they need to spend time with their family because they might go away soon . Elon Musk has lots of money but doesn't uses it in a good way for example he could give money to charity or help the people in war ; he is letting people be unkind to other people which could be cyber bulling only if it is over and over again.
I feel so sorry for Elons kid because with XAE-Xii as your name by highschool there going to hate there name.
I made an 8/8, I know that Elon Musk is first, the richest man with a net worth of $400 billion! He is also the co-CEO for tesla, and he paid for X, a Social media platform which he has over 200 billion followers. Elon Musk took X to talk about his negative opinion of a refugee charity, and the charity workers received offensive comments and threats from people out in public. Elon Musk also known as Mr. Musk did a natiz had gestre and I feel like he was wrong for that. Mr. Musk faced accusations after spreading false information about elections on X to his millions of followers. people have suggested his Tweets might interfere with the elections of the influence of their outcomes. Mr. Musk didn't follow the EU's rules, for social media platforms. Mr. Musk businesses could well benefit from Donald Trump's policies.
In conclusion I learned that, Elon Musk is a powerful man that has a Social Media platform, billions, and he has a political position.
I know that Elon Musk is the richest man in the world! I've learned that Mr. Musk owns Twitter/X. He is also co-CEO of Tesla. I aslo know Elon has faced accusations of spreading false information about elections on X/Twitter to his hundreds of millions of followers.
In a lesson about this subject I learned European Union leaders have pointed out the faults of Mr.Musk company Twitter. Elon Musk created a supporter lottery. He stated he would away $1 million each day to a random person in a swing state. Elon Musk recently shared his opinions with Nigel Farage,the leader of Reform political party in Britain.
In conclusion I learned a lot about Elon Musk.
In my opinion Elon Musk is not as good as some people think. He makes too much money to be one person. He also doesn't like when people disagree so he bans them. I feel he shouldn't have that power over people. Cause some people are just replying to give opinions.
Elon Musk is a great man, full of potential and greatness.
I know about Elon Musk from the news, he is pretty much everywhere specially in the tech and space world. He is the CEO of tesla, space X, and the boring company.
He has achieved many things with his companies:
With Tesla, he made electric cars fast and a real game changer! Before that electric cars weren't in much of recognition.
Space X is all about making space travel much more affordable and Musk has really done that, it can be really helpful specially when space stations are thinking of taking humans to mars someday.
How can we forget about The Boring Company!
It is focused on building tunnels to avoid traffic. Musk is known for is great, big ideas and sometimes, amazing twitter posts.
Musk is really helping to change the world in both affordable and sustainable way
Thank You!

I keep up to date with Mr musk with researching on google and watching the news with my nan . I am slightly annoyed with elon at the moment because he is bribing people to vote for Donald trump , he is saying that if you vote for Mr trump then you will be entered in a draw to win one million us dollars . this is just corrupt just like elon him self .
Hello, Fin@ Topical Talk
Elon Musk is a man with potential and great intelligence! Knowing about him is like knowing about someone who has the power of changing the world in his own way! And we can see that from all of his great achievements.
I keep up to date with news about Mr. Musk by following credible news sources like; blogs, updates on his ventures as Space X and Tesla.
Moreover, his social media accounts specially X (formerly known as twitter) provides mind blowing insights on his projects and opinions.
This really help me in knowing more about him!
Thank You!
I know that Elon Musk is a billionaire entrepeneur, inventor, and business magnate known for his work in multiple industries, such as electric vehicles, space exploration, and artificial intelligence. He is the CEO of Tesla, founder of SpaceX, bought twitter and rebranded it to X, and once co founded paypal. He is also currently the wealthiest person in the world with estimated net worth around $410 billion.
What I think about Elon musk is that he is the richest person in the world and his money is worth about 400 billion dollars.
I also know he owns the car brand "Tesla" and he owns the app "X" (which was Twitter before). He also owns Space X. Something else that I know about Elon musk is he was born in South Africa and he is a businessman. He is also a U.S. government employee.
In my opinion,
Elon musk is one of the richest person in the world , he is the owner of tesla, space X , platform X ( commonly known as Twitter ) and other well known companies for having power a person should money , social media influence and political position but he has all of them. According to me influence of Elon musk on the youth is more powerful than Elon musk . It's not always that rich people make wrong use of their power but this time, Elon musk is making wrong use of his power and creating negative impacts on youth .
I got a six out of eight. I know that he has a lot of money, and I am pretty sure that he is famous. He bought Twitter - like he BOUGHT Twitter - the whole company. It's now known as X. Some other companies are PayPal, Space X, and Tesla. He is trying to make Mars livable.
On the quiz I scored a 7 out of 8.Elon Musk had over 400 billion dollars. Elon Musk owned a lot of businesses like X Swittir, Tesla ,Paypaly, and more. Elon Musk's gave away 1 million dollars to people that lived in a swing state.Elon Musk's had more then 200 million followers.In one of Elon Musk's text it states that "Elon Musk's many businesses could have benefit from Donald Trump's policies. In Trump's 2024 campaign to become president, Mr Musk created a supporter lottery.
Elon Musk belongs to the affluent South African Musk family. Musk was born Pretoria and travelled to Canada in 1989. He took his nationality from his Canadian-born mother. He attended Queen's University and took bachelor's degree in physics. In 1995 Elon musk with the help from his brother formed a software company Zip2 and X.com. In 2002 he took his American citizenship and in the same year he made PayPal, Ebay and SpaceX.
In 2004 He founded Tesla that makes electric vehicles. In 2006 he found SolarCity which is a solar energy company. In 2015 Musk co-founded an AI research company called OpenAI. In 2022 he found Twitter then changed the name to X. In 2023 he founded another AI company called Xai. In January 2025, Musk sworn in to be the director of the department of government efficiency.
Elon Musk is one of the most richest men and successful people who this year in 2025 has gained a reputation both positive and negative. He has the recipe for power, for example his X account( that is formally known as twitter) has over 200 million followers and that means he has 200 million people that believe most things he say and that is a quite positive side to his reputation since he has 200 million who follow his steps and believe him and this signifies a recipe to power for Elon Musk. He also owns companies like Tesla and SpaceX , using these companies he can enhance our future from land and space , to his electric cars, his online payment company called PayPal where has inspired many other companies to use online payment like apple pay on the iPhone and lots more. On the other hand Elon Musk has had a massive backlash and was being accused for spreading misleading information about the 2024 US elections and it was very clear that he was over exaggerating about Kamala Harris. He is also been grabbing a bit of hate of his strange tweets but I found out that Elon has Asperger's syndrome which is a developmental syndrome that is part of the autism spectrum and it affects emotional, behavioural and communication skills. Still even with Asperger's syndrome Elon Musk has come on to be a powerful man now even in taking parts in federal payments for America and slowly getting more knowledgeable about politics and is backed by president Donald Trump and that is a massive influence . Who knows could he be the next president of the USA? Thank you.
Elon Musk has been in the news recently and it's not good news.
Him and Trump have been ruling the United States ever since Trump became the 47th president.
They have created the company Dogecoin together it's kind of like Bitcoin but I guess it's going to be more popular because president Trump gave it out to the public.
And I know this was in November decemberish but it's still something I want to talk about.
Elon Musk paid people to vote for Trump which I thought was illegal because you can't pay people to vote for you.
But in the recent topic on topical talks was the power of Elon Musk his money gave him more power as now his best friend Donald Trump is president.
But before this news I knew Elon Musk because he owned Tesla, Twitter/X and just bought SpaceX.
I thought he was just a cool billionaire. But now his name is popping up too much for the worst reasons.
Mr. Elon musk is very powerful man and also he has lot of money. Elon musk make many apps such as spacex,Telsa, and blaster game
Elon Musk is the person who knows how to use to use his rockets to their full potential ,and knows how to invest and sell things. His thoughts for the FUTURE and to REUSE ♻️ his rockets in an innovative way amazes me. He had the imagination that if the fossil fuels ends someday it will be very difficult to live on this world. His out of world 🌍 ideas make him a powerful and richest 💰person. If we can also think like him it would not be so difficult to be like him.
WHEN OUR THOUGHTS ARE EXTRAORDINARY THEN WE WILL ALSO BE EXTRAORDINARY.
The real money of Mr. Musk was his thoughts .
What do you think is Mr Musk's most important idea, active_tiger?
I think what I know about Elon Musk is that he is the richest and is also an incredibly intelligent and innovative person. He has 12 children in total, but one of his children died at the age of 10 weeks. He is the CEO of Tesla, he is the CEO and founder of Space X, he is the co-founder of Neuralink, he is the owner and CEO of twitter (now known as X), and he is also the co-founder of OpenAI. He was born 28 June 1971. Elon Musk's stories inspires me, and I think that everyone should be inspired by him, because all his failures meant nothing to him, so this should encourage people all over the world to never give up no matter the challenges we might face.
I know that Elon musk is a business man and United states special. Government employes known for his key roles in the automotive company tesla
I wasn't knowing much about Mr. Elon Musk a great business man and also a person with immense power but this hub discussion helped me know more about him. Mr. Elon Musk is well known identity in himself and is known by people all around the globe. He has a net worth income of about 400 million dollars per annum.
He has a huge following on X with about 200 million people who blindly believe him and support his ideologies. He owns many different companies like Tesla, SpaceX and also X(commonly known as Twitter).
He is also the personal advisor of Donald Trump which means he has all the three things to be in power I.e. Money, Political Power and Social Influence.
Currently he is one of the richest person. I completely adore him. He has really worked hard to achieve this height in his life..
I know Elon Musk is an engineer, a powerful man, and wants to control all most everyone.
I know Elon Musk is the CEO of the company tesla which is improving climate change and global warming. He has formed SpaceX to contribute to the exploration of the universe. He is a successful business man and has gained a political ranking among others. He also has bought Twitter recently and is the co-founder of the online payment firm PayPal. Elon launched his first company, Zip2, at the age of 24 alongside his brothers Kimbal Musk and Greg Kouri which was later acquired by Compaq for 307 million in 1999. Also many rumours on social media have informed us that Mr Musk has had the thought of changing his name to Kikius Maximus. His wealth has previously surged, reaching $486 billion in December 2024, according to Bloomberg. I know from my knowledge that Mr Musk applied to the University of Pennsylvania and earned a bachelor's degree in physics and economics in 1997 at the age of 22.
Elon musk is the of X and tesla motors among other companies .their success has propelled him to become the richest person in the in the world ,with a net worth greater than$435.
I think Elon musk is a big influence on other countries because he owns the social media platform known as x which can be accessed in any country's . this indicates that elon earns money in other counties , he also erns money in other country's with other accomplishment's such as tesla . tesla earns elon over £ 157 thousand pounds in one day ! elon was also chosen as a government advisor , witch will also be a massive opportunity for elon musk as he might be chosen in 4 years time to be the president of the united states .
I learnt a lot about Elon Musk because of the classroom lesson,news,news channels and my own research.Elon Reeve Musk ( born June 28, 1971) is a businessman and U.S. Special Government employee, best known for his key roles in Tesla, Inc., SpaceX, and his ownership of Twitter. Musk is the wealthiest individual in the world; as of January 2025, Forbes estimates his net worth to be US$426 billion. But, as I know, he has recently been misusing his own power of money, political position and social media influence. For example, he recently shared his negative opinion about refugee charity with his 200 million followers on X. Because of which charity workers received hateful comments and threats by the public,which is really not good. I got to know about a lot other news about him which in my opinion, were not at all positive.
Although he is the richest person in the world but I think that he cannot misuse his power.
I know that Elon Musk is well known all over the world. I also know that his net worth is around 406.7 billion USD.
His full name is Elon Reeve Musk. He is a business man and U.S special Government employee. He is known for his key roles in Tesla, SpaceX and his ownership of Twitter. He was born June 28, 1971 and is 53 years old as of today. He is American, Canadian, and South African. He has 12 biological children with 3 different women.
Elon Musk is a very Wealthy man and I am proud of his success and I hope that he continues living his dreams.
Do you think success warrants so much power?

If you didn't now you know.There are many other things about the Wealthiest man in the world but its my time to leave. I hope you have learned more about Elon Musk while reading my passage but, bye.

Interestingly he taught himself computer programing and sold his first computer code for video game at age twelve (12).
Thank you!!!
What I know about Elon Musk is that he is worth up to $400 billion and he is currently the richest man in the world. He is also the owner of Tesla, it has a market net worth of $1.25 trillion as of January 30, 2025. Its market cap has increased by 72.92% in one year. Since June 29, 2010, Tesla's market cap has increased from $2.23B to $1.25T, an increase of 55,985.95%. That is a compound annual growth rate of 54.29%. Also, in April 2022, following his $41.4 billion bid to purchase Twitter, Musk bought 9.6% of the company, effectively shooting him to the top of the shareholders’ list, which also means as the largest shareholder, he is considered the CEO. Elon Musk owns a lot of other companies such as space X, Tesla, OpenAI, Zip2, PayPal etc.
Another shocking news was that in America, Donald Trump gave Elon Musk the opportunity to take a part in his advisory roles, economic policies, environmental concerns, and public statements.
but he rejected the invitation.
Elon musk is the richest person in the world when he was small he achieved a lot of things .His net worth is $426 billion . Elon musk studied business and physics at the university of Pennsylvania . Now he owns an automotive company Tesla , a space research company known as SpaceX and a social media app called Twitter . A numerous number of people are inspired by him and by his extraordinary skills and ability.
My score was an 8/8, and I already knew about most of what was mentioned in the quiz. However, I did get to know more in detail about the things about Elon Musk that I already had knowledge on. Nonetheless, there was something in the quiz that made me think about how much power does Elon Musk have on social media, especially on his platform: X (formerly known as Twitter). It is said in the questionnaire that he has “faced accusations of spreading misinformation about elections, on X to his millions of followers”. And his actions, in fact, are most probably a violation of the platform’s policies, specifically because “Dissemination of Misinformation” is not allowed. And it is important to mention that after this, and many other hateful or fake commentaries he has posted, he hasn’t gotten any consequences limiting his Twitter use or what he says at all. Any other user would have already got sanctioned or even banned, but not him. This is another great example of how he has so much power and freedom in his own social-media platform, that even his own rules don’t adhere to him.
Through the quiz, I recalled what I had learned in the classroom. I recalled what kind of person Elon Musk is, how much money he has, what he owns and does, and a lot of things regarding the same topic. The quiz made it even more interesting and also gained my interest in more topics of this kind too, and so I recommend, in each new topic having more than 1 new and interesting quizzes.
Thank you
Elon Musk, in my opinion, is one of the most powerful people in the world. With a net worth of over 400 billion dollars and over 200 million followers on his X account, there’s no doubt that he has a lot of potential.
He started his first business at the age of 12, when he sold Blastar, the software he created; and throughout his lifetime, he has founded many other important companies today, such as SpaceX and PayPal. In 2022, he bought Twitter and decided to change the name to X.Millions of people quickly began to support him from the moment he bought the platform.
Aside from money, Elon Musk is also a huge figure in politicss. I think political power is also a big part of who he is, since he became the advisor of the president of the United States, Donald Trump.
However, Elon Musk has also influenced other people’s opinions. On X, he gave his (negative) opinion about a refugee charity, and not long after, millions of his followers began to threaten and send hateful comments to the charity. It’s crazy how other people’s opinions about a certain topic can influence us, especially if this person has more power.
While Elon Musk has helped companies and industries evolve drastically, he has an immense political, social and financial influence. All of this has given him a lot of power over global opinions. I think that us teens should learn how to think critically and talk about our perspectives, while being respectful at the same time.
If you know any more interesting facts about Elon Musk, please, feel free to tell me what you think! :)
In class recently, we completed the ‘ Elon musk lesson ‘. In the lesson, we learnt that he was really powerful and all of the things that made him so. However, as I am starting a new hub discussion, I would like to create a discussion about if he is a positive role model or a negative role model? Elon musk is currently the world’s richest man, with an estimated worth of over 250 billion dollars. He is one of the most influential figures in technology, space exploration and sustainable energy. His contributions have shaped the modern world.
From the creation of Tesla to the goal of colonising Mars, Musk’s achievements are based around long term goals. These goals are ambitious but his ability to make them happen is one of his leadership qualities.
However, where Elon Musk struggles is with employee experience and engagement. He works very hard , often working 100 hours a week and sleeping under his desk. He also expects those around him to share the same work ethic but this is not for everyone. If you work for him, you will have to work extremely hard. Some reports have shown that his human working conditions are not good and he does not treat people well. This includes how he has fired people and his temper as well as difficulties with being emotional.
Musk has not got where he is without overcoming obstacles and having to adapt. He has had to invest a lot of his own personal money to keep his companies going. This is a positive trait.
Musk has made controversial decisions and shared personal views on x ( twitter ) which lots of people think is a bad quality.
Can you give me some examples of controversial decisions that Musk has made?
What I know about Elon Musk is that he’s the richest person in the world right now, owning 400 billion dollars. He was born on June 28, 1971 in South Africa. After moving to North America, Musk co-founded Zip2, a company providing business directories and maps for newspapers.
He’s famous for creating SpaceX, which builds rockets, like the Falcon 9; and Tesla, which makes electric cars, like Tesla Model Y. He’s the Co-founder of X Corporation and in 2022 he bought Twitter (now called X).
Recently, President Donald Trump announced that Musk will head a new "Department of Government Efficiency", which means that he will be lowering the money the government spends, bureaucracy and regulations, so maybe he could be also considered as a political figure too.
Hi Topical Talker
Elon Musk is considered one of the most prominent businessmen in the world, and I believe that the most important thing that distinguishes him is that he always thinks outside the box and provides innovative solution to difficult problems. He is also famous as the biggest supporter of artificial intelligence because he believes in its importance in changing the future of humanity. I believe that he is the best example for everyone who wants to be a special person, not only with money but also with his mind. I think this is the most important thing I would like us to know about him so that he can be a role model for us in thinking about our future.
In the quiz I got 7 out of 8 questions right and that is thanks to everything I have learned here in the Topical Talk and in class.
Before talking about this topic I knew about the existence of Elon Musk but I only knew that he was the creator of X and that he had a lot of money.
Now that he is one of the most powerful people in the world, he is much more recognized for all the actions he has done. Recently, one of the most powerful actions he has carried out was with the president of America, Donald Trump, choosing Elon Musk to serve as one of his advisors.
This has made him to be more recognized and have more power right now.
A surprising fact about Elon Musk is that he became the richest person in the world in 2021, with a net worth surpassing $300 billion. His fortune mainly comes from his stakes in Tesla, SpaceX, and other companies like Neuralink and The Boring Company. Unlike many billionaires, Musk rarely takes a salary. Instead, his wealth is tied to the performance of his companies.
This power over markets makes him not only a business leader but also an influential figure in the world economy. His influence shows how modern wealth is closely connected to innovation, technology, and social media.
I know Elon Musk is the richest man in the world. He has over 400 billion cash he owns X and Tesla.
Elon Musk was co-founded in Zip2, PayPal companies. Those two company sold later and he started SpaceX for reducing space transportation costs and then he founded Tesla, which has become one of the leading electric vehicle manufacture and then became a CEO of Neuralink is a neurotechnology company. He is inspired a new generation of entrepreneurs and innovators.
I know Elon Musk owns X ( formerly Twitter) and he's been using it to see what is going on in the world.Recently, he's been trying to gain political power which could cause a lot of problems with a man who has $400 billion. He recently created his own party on X for the German election , and he was given permission by Donald Trump because Musk is his advisor . I think Musk is causing a problem to the world and after he made the party the European Union felt like he was breaking the rules.
I know Elon Musk owns x.He has only have lots of money because of his social media platforms. Elon has over 400 billion pounds and so he can own anything. His tweets might make a difference on other peoples comments and might affect them on his tweets.
Elon Musk who is the richest man in the world, uses his money as an advantage because he is now the owner of X- used to be known as twitter- and made the brand Tesla. He also has another brand Space X, which is a rocket company.He also is the government advisor for Donald Trump, personally I think in a couple of years Elon Musk will become president foe the united states. Donald Trump and Elon Musk like to use each other for powerful opportunities. There are many years to come for Donald Trump and Elon Musk and who knows what will happen.
Did you know that Elon Musk can't become President of America because he wasn't born in America? At the moment, only people born in the US can become the President. Does this change your view on what you think Elon Musk might do, or why he is becoming close to Donald Trump?
I know Elon Musk because he is the richest man on the planet of a network of 400 billion pounds.He owns Tesla,X and he is the co-founder of pay pal.Now,Elon Musk is becoming more and more powerful over the world.One reason he is the richest man is because he has millions of followers on his company X.Mr Elon Musk has been breaking the rules by boosting one candidate unfairly.For the power points he got is double the times of a normal power of a regular person.A normal persons power is 2.5 and his is 5.He could cause a problem for Donald Trump going forward because he is saying lies about things which is achturally very important.
I think Elon musk is to powerful he is using money to get more powerful and a political position. He has a net-worth of 400 billion from Tesla and x also know as twitter.He was using money to make people to vote for trump by giving 1 million pounds to somebody that votes for trump every day.And i think he is getting out of had because he is posting information about stuff on social media.
Mr Musk, is the richest person on the planet. He owns X (Twitter.) He has many followers and he did a live stream to his followers with the party leader. This upset the European Union Leaders who felt Musk was breaking rules by boosting one candidate unfairly. Musk is trying to gain more and more followers. I think money has given Musk more power because wealth is key to fame.
This what I know about Elon Musk, he is a well known person all over the world and he has over 400 billion dollars also he should not be considered as a political figure and he is one of the richest people in the world and he owns a company called Tesla and he is a co-founder.
The reason that Elon Musk is getting close to trump so he can be even more powerful, but I don't understand why he wants more because he is all ready one of the most powerful person in the world. The thing is that Elon Musk is talking to other politicians and that is not really his business what countries choose their prime minister might start conflict.
Elon Musk has a lot of power. He is the richest person world wide. Friends with Donald Trump, Musk has been appointed advisor of Trump. He is South African and he has a net worth of $400 billion.
He owns Space X, a space agency that has recently sent a rocket to the moon. He also owns Tesla, a car company that makes electric cars, such as the Tesla Model X, Model Y and the Tesla Cyber Truck. Funnily enough, electric cars are well known for being environmentally friendly. However, Donald Trump does not support helping climate change to slow down, so does that mean Elon Musk doesn't either, even though he makes electric cars?
He also owns X (formerly known as Twitter), which he uses to his advantage. He spread misinformation about the American elections to his millions of followers. He interfered with a German election, supporting one side.
Elon Musk has money and a social media platform and now he is edging towards a political position. Mr Musk has interfered with elections which made the European Union not sway in his direction. Some people believe that he made the election go in Trump's way. Elon Musk has power through his money, his social media influence and now through the political position. Mr Trump has given Elon Musk the power to go and get involved in political discussions. I personally think that this will hugely impact America .
Elon musk has told his followers on X that Mr Farage is not fit for his position.
When we read the misinformation on X, we all easily decided that this would be power by social media.
His accusations of spreading wrong information caused millions of his followers to respond saying he is trying to interfere with the election. I agree with this since he is in a powerful friendship with Donald Trump and he started a lottery that whoever votes Trump will be put into a prize draw for $1,000,000. This could have also been a political influence for that reason.
In the lesson, we learnt about the misinformation on X [which was Twitter]. Everybody decided that this is power by social media as X is one of the most popular social media app in the world and he has over 216.4 million followers [most out of anyone on the planet]. This could interfere with future elections and even change the country.
Do you think anything should be done to prevent interference in future elections? What might that be?
I know that Elon Musk had shared negative comments on social media, and the charity workers had received hateful comments and threats from members of the public. Also, I would feel after the text I just wrote, maybe no one would want to be charity workers after that because they would not want to receive those hateful comments.
I know that Elon Musk is the richest man in the world and owns x. I also have heard he has been racist to countries like Germany. I'm annoyed that he has said bad things about charities and then members of public have gone and said threatening and hateful comments to those charities. In my opinion, I think and know that he might think that he is very controlling and think he can make Ukraine consider giving up a bit of territory to Russia in exchange for peace. That makes me think that he thinks he can do anything. I know that he has a lot of power but not world-changing power. I also know that his money means a lot to him and so does his followers on social medias. It has made me upset that I know he has shared negative comments.
Can you give me some examples as to why you mention racism towards Germany?
I know that Elon Musk has lots of power in his political position and he asked his millions of followers on X if he should continue donating Starlink terminals to Ukraine during the war and if Ukraine should give up land for peace. He got his followers to threaten the donation workers and terrorize them. I do not agree with his decision to threaten the donation workers even if he wanted to stop donating. I feel that with all his political power and money, he could carry on donating and support Ukraine instead of suggesting for them to give up the land they worked hard for.
I don"t like Elon musk because he influenced trump to stop giving food to Africa. Each year America spend millions of dollars on fool and now they have stopped.Of the influence fro him. I think that this is not a good thing. He is a bit crazy because he just dances around on stage whit trump. He does what he likes by interfering in the German election. AND he shares hateful comets about some charity workers.
He also has 3 parnets and 12 children a bit crazy having 3 wives.thank you!
ELON MUSK WHO HAS ABOUT 200 MILLION FOLLOWERS ON X ENDORSED A PARTICULAR PARTY IN THE GERMAN ELECTION. HE ALSO DID A LIVE STREAM TO HIS FOLLOWERS WITH THE PARTY LEADER. BY DOING THAT HE MADE EUROPEAN LEADERS MAD.
I new bearly anything about Elon exept he was the richest man but my brain asumed he was nice but this lesson has changed my opinion .

Elon Musk is a name that's synonymous with innovation and disruption. Born in South Africa, Musk's curiosity and passion for learning drove him to teach himself computer programming at 12. He later moved to Canada to attend college, where his entrepreneurial spirit grew.
Musk's rise to fame began with PayPal, which was sold to eBay for $1.5 billion. He then founded SpaceX, with the ambitious goal of establishing a human settlement on Mars. Through Tesla, he's accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy, making electric cars more accessible and affordable.
What's remarkable about Musk is his ability to merge disciplines and create something new. From Neuralink's brain-computer interfaces to The Boring Company's underground tunnels, Musk's innovative spirit and willingness to take risks have inspired a generation. Love him or criticize him, Elon Musk is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating and influential figures of our time.
Elon Musk comes from a controversial family, as his father has made false allegations about former First Lady Michelle Obama, saying on a podcast that she was a man. This clearly shows that rich men like Elon Musk want to have a strong impact on world politics, regardless of how that may affect the world. In my opinion, Elon admires Trump as he is a powerful businessman who, despite criminal charges, was still elected as a U.S. President. This demonstrates that rich and powerful people are clearly above the law. Many Americans believe in government led by Trump and Musk as they hope they will help the USA economy, but they may also be giving up their freedom as Trump and Musk may have their own agenda to fulfill.
I know that Elon Musk is the richest person in the world because of the companies he owns including: SpaceX, Tesla and he also bought Twitter which he renamed X. He is now working with the president of America, Donald Trump. That means that Elon Musk is a really powerful man.
I have an 8-8 on the quiz. What I Know about Elon Musk is that he is the co-founder and the CEO of Tesla. In 2002 he founded Space X. Space X is an aerospace company that helped commercial spaceflight. when he was 12 years old he created a video game and sold it to a computer magazine. and also owns X (also known as Twitter).
Hi out of my score I got around 6/7 and what really shoked me is that Elon Mosk has 400 million dollars and I wonder what he will spend it all on.Elon Musk is not the richest man in the world
Elon musk is the richest person in the world . He belongs to African family and is well educated he has a net worth around 400 billion dollars . He own a social media platform known as X formerly called as twitter and has over 200 million followers . He own a space company called as SpaceX and company’s of automotive vehicle called Tesla . He is the advisor in the court in the court of Donald Trump .Elon musk had endorsed a particular party in the German election on his X account which had upset a European leader as elon musk was breaking rules . Elon musk has inspired many young entrepreneurs with his leadership skills and work ethic and is one of the climate saving leaders even I am inspired by the difficulties he faced to become such a great man .
I scored 8 out of 8, Elon Musk is the richest man in the world, he is also a powerful and influential man. He helped Donald Trump win the election and Donald Trump made him one of his advisor. Elon Musk recently did a live stream for one of the candidates in Germany. The international body was not happy about it, it raised concerns about him trying to influence politics. Rich and powerful men can actually influence politics either by direct or indirect funding or through media influence, in the case of Elon Musk he used his X page to do just that communicating directing to large number of people, in a way influencing the opinion of a large number of people. In a way, I feel this is not right, if it is possible I would like everyone to have equal opportunity no matter the field they find themselves in.

I know that Elon Musk is the richest person in the world, with a net worth of $400 billion. He owns 3 successful companies which are Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formally known as Twitter). I also know that Elon Musk has a great social media influence on his platform X. He has been chosen to be a government advisor by the newly elected president, Donald Trump. The last thing I knew was that Elon Musk misused his influence on X to spread misinformation about elections.
Some of the answers really shocked me. In January, Elon Musk spread negative opinions on a refugee charity. I disagree with the comments because why tell your millions of followers to give hateful comments to a charity that is just trying to help people who fled their country? Another thing that I learned is when Elon Musk endorsed a German candidate, increasing their chances unfairly and upsetting European Union Leaders. I believe that Elon shouldn't have done it because it will make people change their minds and pick the German candidate, instead of the other one which could be the better choice.
What I know about Elon musk is that he was the co-founder of PayPal in 1998. And an early investor in Tesla and board member, before taking over as CEO.

Could you say a little more about what you have learned about money, power and influence, through the story of Elon Musk?
Elon Musk is a billionaire entrepreneur, inventor, and engineer, known for founding and leading several high-profile companies. He was born in South Africa in 1971 and moved to the U.S. in the mid-90s to attend the University of Pennsylvania. Musk co-founded Zip2, which was sold to Compaq, and later created X.com, which became PayPal after a merger and was sold to eBay.
He is the CEO and lead designer of SpaceX, which focuses on space exploration and aims to make life multi-planetary. Musk is also CEO of Tesla, known for electric vehicles and sustainable energy solutions. Additionally, he has been involved in ventures like Neuralink (brain-machine interfaces), The Boring Company (tunneling and infrastructure), and OpenAI (artificial intelligence).
Musk is known for his ambitious goals, such as colonizing Mars and transitioning the world to renewable energy. Despite being a controversial figure, he has amassed significant wealth and recognition, making him one of the richest people in the world. He is also known for his active social media presence and bold statements.
I do not know a lot of things about Elon Musk, but I do know some. I know that he is a very powerful person, not only because of his large net worth of 200 billion dollars, but also because of his connections with Donald Trump, the current president of the US. I don't think he should have any political power because of this as he, in my opinion, isn't qualified.
I also know that he is the owner of very big companies as Tesla, Paypal and X. And I also know that he is a very controversial topic to talk about as his beliefs are different in one way or another to most people's beliefs. I don't really agree with most of the ideas I've heard him say and I do think that he has a bit too much power.
