This capital helped fuel companies that later push electric vehicles into the mainstream, expand private space exploration, and challenge global infrastructure.
The sale of PayPal was not the peak.
It was a lever.
Big money doesn’t always mean the end of the journey.

180 million dollars was not the destination.
It was the foundation.
When Elon Musk made 180 million dollars from PayPal in 2002, he reinvested instead of retiring.
