The Tesla CEO has been the founder of a number of companies but while replying to a Twitter user, he revealed that he once transformed his house into a nightclub in order to earn money for rent.

If being born to a well-off family is why @ElonMusk succeeded extravagantly in life then explain to me why all these rich kids go to art school, never get a job, and waste away, the user tweeted.

Replying to the post, Musk said - “Yeah, kids starting with lots of money usually have much less motivation than those who have nothing. When we started our first company (Zip2) in 95, I had over $100k of student debt, a computer I built myself and a few thousand dollars”.

Following this interaction, another Twitter user called Pranay Pathole joined the conversation and said – “And here people spread lies about you already belonging to a wealthy family & that your dad owned an emerald mine. While starting Zip2 you guys didn't have a place to stay & had to shower at YMCA. Also, while in college didn't u guys turn ur room in a nightclub to afford rent?”
