Elon Musk, who recently attended a rally with former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, took to X to share his familiarity with the state.
In a post, Musk informed his followers that he spent three years living in Pennsylvania while attending the University of Pennsylvania. He remarked, “Yup, I lived in Pennsylvania for three years.”
Musk’s PAC backing Trump is providing $47 to registered voters who successfully refer others to sign a petition supporting the First and Second Amendments.
In September, Trump had mentioned that if returns to the White House he would would consider appointing Musk to lead a government efficiency commission.
Elon Musk the founder of Tesla and SpaceX and most recently the owner of X (formerly known as Twitter) was just another student at the University of Pennsylvania.
The world’s richest man graduated in 1997 with dual degrees in economics and physics from the College and Wharton, as reported by Fortune.
That same year, at 24 years old he started a PhD program in materials sciences at Stanford University but dropped out just two days later to begin his first start-up company, according to Fortune.
The reason? Musk realised that the internet had far more potential to change the world than his academic research in physics.
Seizing the opportunity, he launched Zip2, his first company, which he sold four years later for over $300 million.
