Interesting fact:

In 2008, Elon Musk had almost used up all of the $180m he made from PayPal. Investors were skeptical to help him and he was doing anything possible to make monthly payroll. On top of this he was getting divorced and coping with a devastating personal tragedy. In a last ditch effort he managed to secure a loan and lucked into $15m from a start-up. Slowly things began turning around and his company won a $1.6bn contract from NASA. Antonio Gracias, one of Musk’s closest friends, said of him: “What he went through in 2008 would have broken anyone else. He can endure more stress than anyone I’ve ever met.”
