VI. Read the following story. Then, answer the questions based on the story.
Ellon Musk

Elon Musk (born June 28, 1971, Pretoria, South Africa) South African-born
American entrepreneur who cofounded the electronic-payment firm PayPal and
formed SpaceX, maker of launch vehicles and spacecraft. He was also one of the
first significant investors in, as well as chief executive officer of, the electric
5 car manufacturer Tesla. In addition, Musk acquired Twitter (later X) in 2022.
Musk was born to a South African father and a Canadian mother. He
displayed an early talent for computers and entrepreneurship. At age 12, he
created a video game and sold it to a computer magazine. In 1988, after
obtaining a Canadian passport, Musk left South Africa because he was unwilling to
10 support apartheid through compulsory military service and because he sought the
greater economic opportunities available in the United States.
 Musk attended Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, and in 1992 he
transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, where he received
bachelor’s degrees in physics and economics in 1997. He enrolled in graduate
school in physics at Stanford University in California, but he left after only two days
15 because he felt that the Internet had much more potential to change society than
work in physics. In 1995, he founded Zip2, a company that provided maps and
business directories to online newspapers. In 1999, Zip2 was bought by the
computer manufacturer Compaq for $307 million, and Musk then founded an
online financial services company, X.com, which later became PayPal, which
20 specialized in transferring money online. The online auction eBay bought PayPal in
2002 for $1.5 billion.
Musk had long been interested in the possibilities of electric cars, and in 2004
he became one of the major funders of Tesla Motors (later renamed Tesla), an
electric car company founded by entrepreneurs Martin Eberhard and Marc
25 Tarpenning. In 2006, Tesla introduced its first car, the Roadster, which could travel
245 miles (394 km) on a single charge. Unlike most previous electric vehicles,
which Musk thought were boring and uninteresting, it was a sports car that could
go from 0 to 60 miles (97 km) per hour in less than four seconds. In 2010, the
29 company’s initial public offering raised about $226 million. Two years later Tesla
introduced the Model S sedan, which was acclaimed by automotive critics for its
performance and design. The company won further praise for its Model X luxury
SUV, which went on the market in 2015. The Model 3, a less-expensive vehicle,
went into production in 2017 and became the best-selling electric car of all time.
