Video | World's Richest Person Musk Shares Entrepreneurship Opportunity: Wanted to Work for an Internet Company, But No One Responded to My Resume

In February 2022, Musk shared his early entrepreneurial experience during an appearance on the podcast Third Row Tesla. He revealed that the turning point in his life was the 1995 Internet boom sparked by Netscape's IPO. Initially, he had not thought about starting a business but rather wanted to work at Netscape. Despite multiple rejections of his job applications and even personally visiting the company lobby where his shyness prevented him from initiating a conversation, he received no response. Eventually, he realized that since he couldn't join an Internet company, he would create his own opportunity. He then began developing software, founded Zip2, and embarked on the entrepreneurship journey.
