Elon Musk Beginnings in 1 minute

Elon Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa, on June 28, 1971. 

Elon Musk was daydreaming about inventions all the time, that his parents and doctors ordered a test to check his hearing.

Around age 10, Elon Musk developed an interest in computers. He taught himself how to program. At age 12, he sold his first game, called Blastar.

In 1995, age 24, he co-founded Zip2 with his brother in Palo Alto, California.

Zip2 was a web software creating local city guides and was sold in 1999 for $300 million to Compaq.

Using the money for the sales, the brother created X.com, an online payment service. An X.com acquisition the following year led to the creation of PayPal as it is known today.

In October 2002, Elon Musk became a billionaire officially when eBay acquired by PayPal.

The Battle Between Online and In-Store Sales - eCommerce Series

New research by Alix Partners shows that 43% of shoppers want to buy less in the future. And if they shop, it will be more online.     

The report also showed that younger people age between 18 to 24, in all the researched countries, are concerned about mental health. 

What does more online shopping and worries about mental health have in common?  That's interesting.  As mental health is related to not being able to go out, meet friends, do stuff together.

And I am also surprised with some numbers of the U.S.

Second part of this podcast explains that there is no battle between online and in-store sales
