Musk's goal was clear: cut space transportation costs and make Mars colonization possible.\nHowever, in 2022, Musk expressed his wish for more competition for SpaceX, believing it would aid in making life multi-planetary.\nIn the first half of 2024, SpaceX launched 67 missions using its Falcon launch vehicles.\nMeanwhile, Musk’s journey with Tesla began in 2004, a year after founders Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning launched the company.\nTrending: With over 7.8K investors including Meta, Google, And Amazon Execs — this AI Startup's valuation has skyrocketed from $5 million to $85 million in just three years. Be an early investor with just $1,000 for only $0.50/share today before the offer closes in 2 weeks.\nHe joined as an early investor and board chairman, contributing $6.35 million of Tesla's initial $6.5m Series A financing, as per Forbes.\nHis role quickly expanded, and after internal tensions led to Eberhard’s exit, Musk took over as CEO in October 2008.\nThiel's Founders Fund has invested in SpaceX but holds no stake in Tesla. Previously, Thiel has said that he typically avoids public companies, and Tesla went public relatively early in 2010—though he has since admitted having some regrets.\n“We should have invested in that one,” he said at the Aspen Ideas Festival in late June 2024.\nLast month, Tesla reported third-quarter revenue of $25.18 billion, up 8% year-over-year, missing a Street consensus estimate of $25.37 billion.\nImage via Wikimedia Commons\nRead Next:\n\n‘Scrolling to UBI': Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones – invest today with $1,000 for just $0.25/share\nThis company is giving accredited investors an opportunity to invest in this $2 billion fund, with three decades in business they boast an impressive track record of double-digit returns.\n\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of Benzinga Neuro and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nUp Next: Transform your trading with Benzinga Edge's one-of-a-kind market trade ideas and tools.
