But things did not go very well, as there were many disagreements about management methods between the partners, until they sold the company, and “eBay” bought it, and Elon’s share of this sale was (180) million dollars.

“Elon” decided to invest this money in something he loved and of value, so he established his third company, “SpaceX” in the year (2002), since he was fond of space and exploration since his childhood, so he decided to invest his money in the space industries.

His dream was to create spacecraft to carry out commercial flights to space and to make the idea of man going into space more accessible, so his goal was to build a spacecraft that would carry out trips to space.

After several attempts to manufacture a rocket that can go into space, it took years, workers and engineers to work hard and proficiently all the time to reach a successful attempt, until the first successful attempt occurred in the year (2008).

So, “NASA” contracted with “SpaceX” to transport equipment to the International Space Station, and looked forward to carrying out the transportation of astronauts in the future.

Elon Musk was very interested in solar energy and the importance of benefiting from it, as we mentioned before, and his interest began with the idea of manufacturing an electric car based on solar energy.

In the year (2004) the company “Tesla Motors” was founded by engineers “Martin Eberhard” and “Marc Tarpenning”, but they needed financing to implement their first car model, so “Elon” joined them to finance them and became an essential part of the design and implementation The first electric car.
