I don't mean to rag on you dude but I don't think he started that many companies. His company was bought out by PayPal in like the late '90s, despite being listed as a cofounder he wasn't a founder of Tesla, I think spaceX was also founded before Musk. He did help these companies succeed though so I suppose credit for that.
He founded SpaceX, but he was the money man. He didn't like the way he was treated in Russia, so he said, fine, I'll make my own rocket program, with blackjack and hookers... But he didn't actually do any of the lifting, other than lifting the pen to sign the checks. Other, brilliant, people did the real work.
Spacex owes its success to Gwynne Shotwell if anyone, that woman is a powerhouse.
