Elon Musk didn't like his kids' school, so he made his own small, secretive school without grade levels
May 22, 2015, 10:50 PM
Elon Musk didn't like his kids' school, so he started his own, the inventor and entrepreneur said in an interview on Beijing Television.
The school is called Ad Astra — which means "To the stars" — and is small and relatively secretive. It doesn't have its own website or a social media presence.
Christina Simon, who writes about private elementary schools in Los Angeles, has done some digging around Ad Astra.
She says she's been in contact with a mother whose child attends Musk's school. The mother told Simon that the relatively new Ad Astra School is "very small and experimental," and caters to a small group of children whose parents are primarily SpaceX employees.

What is a shovel used for ?
"How are we going to take it apart? You need a screwdriver. That's what the screwdriver is for," Musk explains. "And then a very important thing happens: The relevance of the tools becomes apparent."
So far, Ad Astra "seems to be going pretty well," according to Musk. "The kids really love going to school."
"I hated going to school when I was a kid," Musk told his interviewer. "It was torture."

Guess Elon wasn’t joking
For a few months, billionaire Elon Musk has been cryptically tweeting about digging a giant tunnel. Turns out he wasn’t kidding.
Musk is literally digging a way out of traffic. In December, Musk tweeted he was going to “build a tunnel boring machine and just start digging” since traffic was bothering him so much. Then during a student competition held at SpaceX, Musk tweeted “we start digging the tunnel tonight.”
