Picture a twelve-year-old boy standing in pools of blood from murder victims in South Africa, enduring brutal beatings at a paramilitary school, and suffering his father's emotional torture-being forced to stand for hours while told he was worthless. This wasn't fiction but Elon Musk's reality. "Adversity shaped me," he would later reflect. "My pain threshold became very high." This childhood forged an emotional shutoff valve making him simultaneously callous and fearless-traits propelling him to become our era's most audacious innovator. From infancy, Musk was exceptional-crying constantly, eating voraciously, and rarely sleeping. His intellectual curiosity was matched by an inability to connect with peers. One teacher believed he might be "retarded" because he frequently "zoned out." As Musk explains: "Ever since I was a kid, if I start to think about something hard, then all my sensory systems turn off." Living with his father Errol exposed young Elon to both opportunity and danger. The home contained encyclopedias and engineering tools that fascinated him, but also subjected him to a Jekyll-and-Hyde personality-jovial one moment, vicious the next. This unpredictable environment taught Elon to question reality itself. "Can you imagine growing up like that?" his brother Kimbal asks. "It was mental torture. You end up asking, 'What is reality?'"
