Elon Musk is widely known for his work with Tesla and SpaceX, but did you know that he also played a crucial role in the creation of one of the most popular online payment systems in the world? In this video, we'll take a closer look at Elon Musk's co-founding of PayPal.
PayPal was originally founded in 1998 as Confinity by Max Levchin and Peter Thiel. However, it was the merger with Musk's online banking company X.com in 2000 that really propelled the company forward. As chairman and later CEO of PayPal, Musk oversaw the growth of the company into the leading online payment processor, with over 100 million active users in 190 countries.
In 2002, eBay acquired PayPal for $1.5 billion, and Musk received $165 million for his 11.7% stake in the company. Since then, PayPal has continued to grow and innovate, changing the way people make online transactions.
