According to news on February 11, Musk’s father recently talked about Musk’s childhood life in an interview. He said that when his sons were eight or nine years old, he gave up Mercedes-Benz cars and switched to driving Rolls-Royce. The sons wanted to go somewhere and there were private jets.
"They're not like other kids who learned to ski in Europe when they were under 10 years old, so it seems to me like their lives are very different from what I had as a kid."
Musk's father bluntly said that he did not own his first bed until he was ten years old. "When you start from scratch like me, you start saving money and spend it as slowly as possible." But the sons' growth backgrounds are different, especially Elon, who has a different view of life. "How should I put it? After all, you can make money again after you lose it. You know that you will never fail. You feel that you deserve to succeed. You are the kind of chosen person who can handle anything. To them, the so-called dilemma is just that the Hilton has no filet mignon."
Musk once said in his autobiography that his childhood was not happy, and he also encountered school bullying. His father was very strict and he was often scolded. His childhood was full of loneliness.
