Elon Musks Career In Code and Business
Although Elon Musk never had a 9-5 desk job as a programmer he did play a major role in coding his original start-up, Zip2. A company co-founded by Elon and his brother in 1995.
The software was used to provide a searchable business directory with maps of local businesses. Similar to an online yellow pages. Later, the software began to assist newspapers in designing online city guides. Partnering with a total of 160 newspapers before eventually being sold to Compaq Computer in 1999. Elon wrote the backend for this software in the C programming language.
According to the biography by Ashlee Vance, the software was eventually almost completely rewritten by its new hires. The computer science students that took over the project were able to re-write large chunks of code written by Musk in just a few lines of code. The codebase was also not very flexible originally. Meaning that if changes needed to be made in the future, it would be very difficult.
After his success with Zip2, Elon took the money he made from the company and re-invested it in his new startup, X.com. Another company where he played a large role in creating the original codebase.
X.com was an online bank co-founded by Elon Musk. In it’s later years, it was merged with their competitor, Confinity Inc. and became PayPal. In it’s merger a large part of it’s codebase had been re-written by more talented engineers.
From there, Elon went on to create Tesla and SpaceX. Although he did not play a large role in the development if these products. Marking his transition from part-time coder and into his focus on entrepreneurial endevours.
