Education
An ornate school building
Musk attended Waterkloof House Preparatory School, Bryanston High School, and then Pretoria Boys High School, where he graduated.[32] Musk was a good but not exceptional student, earning a 61 in Afrikaans and a B on his senior math certification.[33]Musk applied for a Canadian passport through his Canadian-born mother to avoid South Africa’s mandatory military service,[34][35] which would have forced him to participate in the apartheid regime,[3] and to ease his path to immigration to the United States.[36] While waiting for his application to be processed, he attended the University of Pretoria for five months.[37]
Musk arrived in Canada in June 1989, connected with a second cousin in Saskatchewan,[38] and worked odd jobs including at a farm and a lumber mill.[39] In 1990,he entered Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.[40][41] Two years later, he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied until 1995.[42] Although Musk has said that he earned his degrees in 1995, the University of Pennsylvania did not award them until 1997 – a Bachelor of Arts in physics and a Bachelor of Science in economics from the university's Wharton School.[43][44][45][46][47][48] He reportedly hosted large, ticketed house parties to help pay for tuition, and wrote a business plan for an electronic book-scanning service similar to Google Books.[49]
In 1994, Musk held two internships in Silicon Valley: one at energy storage startup Pinnacle Research Institute, which investigated electrolytic ultracapacitors for energy storage, and another at Palo Alto–based startup Rocket Science Games.[50][51]In 1995, he was accepted to a graduate program in materials science at Stanford University, but did not enroll.[46][43][52] Musk decided to join the Internet boom, applying for a job at Netscape, to which he reportedly never received a response.[53][34]The Washington Post reported that Musk lacked legal authorization to remain and work in the United States after failing to enroll at Stanford.[52] In response, Musk claimed he was allowed to work at that time and that his student visa transitioned to an H1-B. According to numerous former business associates and shareholders, Musk claimed he was on a student visa at the time.[54]
