9. He Dropped Out of Stanford After Two Days

Elon Musk’s educational journey took an unconventional path. After completing his undergraduate studies in economics and physics at the University of Pennsylvania, Musk moved to California to pursue a PhD in applied physics at Stanford University. However, he dropped out after just two days.

Musk believed that the Internet had far greater potential to change the world than the work he was doing at Stanford. He decided to take a leap of faith and start his own company, Zip2, which provided online city guide software to newspapers. This decision marked the beginning of Musk’s entrepreneurial career and set him on a path to becoming one of the most influential tech innovators of our time.
