Recently, with the explosion of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, the name Elon Musk has once again attracted a lot of attention from the online community. In fact, many people even refer to this billionaire as a “wizard”, as just through Elon Musk’s tweets, the value of cryptocurrencies can change in ways that are hard to imagine. Even with ordinary actions, Elon Musk can completely bring in a fortune for people he probably will never know. For example, just recently, a guy earned up to 8,000 USD (about nearly 200 million VND) simply by auctioning off an essay with Elon Musk’s grading and editing notes.
Accordingly, before becoming the founder of Tesla, Elon Musk had a time working as a teaching assistant, grading essays for students at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1995. Recently, an essay with Elon Musk’s evaluation and grading was auctioned through RR Auctions in Boston, USA. It was quite surprising that the highest amount someone paid to buy this item, which is nothing special other than Elon Musk’s handwriting, reached 7,753 USD (about 179 million VND).
It is known that the lucky person who “struck it rich” thanks to Elon Musk’s scribbled notes is Brian Thomas, a financial advisor and a former student in the class where Musk was a teaching assistant. The essay was later made public. It can be seen that even from a young age, Elon Musk had a unique personality as he did not sign his full name but only wrote the initials EM instead of his name. As for Thomas, his essay was deducted two points by Elon Musk for using inappropriate language.
Accidentally finding the exam in his document storage, Thomas suddenly earned a fortune. This shows just how great the appeal of the name Elon Musk is. No wonder recently, this billionaire caused a stir on social media when he declared he wanted to quit everything to become a full-time KOL. But even before becoming a KOL, Elon Musk is already very active on social media.
