What if I told you Elon Musk once lived on just $1 a day
Yeah, the same guy behind Tesla and SpaceX actually challenged himself to survive on hot dogs and oranges
Not because he had to, but because he wanted to test himself. Back in college, Musk believed that in America, staying alive was relatively easy
So he ran an experiment. Could he eat and live off just $1 a day? The answer? Yes
He lived on a diet of mostly hot dogs, oranges, pasta, and green peppers. All dirt cheap
His goal wasn't just to save money. It was to prove that even in the worst case scenario, he could survive
That gave him the mental freedom to take big risks. As he put it, if I could live on a dollar a day, I could afford to start a company
That mindset of embracing discomfort laid the foundation for everything. X-Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and XAI
All of it started with a simple question. What's the worst that could happen
So next time you say you're too broke to chase your dream, Remember, Elon Musk started with nothing but hot dogs, oranges, and a dollar
