    One of the founders of PayPal too. I didn't know much about him until I saw a profile about him on Bloomberg. Elon Musk is a very interesting guy. And from his early years growing up in South Africa, he seems like he's always been a pretty moral and stand-up sort of fellow. I wish him the very best of luck with all of his endeavors. And the SpaceX venture, as well as Tesla, seems incredibly interesting.

    I knew about Pay Pal but I find it such a poor service I refuse to use it. He sure made a killing with it however.
