According to what was revealed this weekend, he was in Lagoa da Conceição with his friend Peter Diamandis, founder of the XPrize Prize, which financially encourages innovative projects, when he was defined 20 years ago by the innovative and exceptional project Space X, which is tourism trips to the moon and even Mars.

News reports: “He is the leader of some of the most innovative companies, such as Tesla, which makes electric cars, and SpaceX, which has just signed a contract with NASA for a mission to the moon, and which plans to colonize Mars.”

According to news broadcast over the weekend about Elon Musk’s recent interview with his friend Diamandis, everything was set 20 years ago when the two met in Lagoa:

“But about 20 years ago, the story was very different: He was at the start of this entrepreneurial journey, deciding which direction to take in trying to achieve his goals. More specifically, he was on the island of Florianópolis, in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, with his friend Peter Diamandez, Founder of XPrize Prize, which financially encourages innovative projects. The story was revealed by Musk in a recent interview with Diamandis, as South Africa remembered how they met 20 years ago.

The report in the interview continues:

“Musk said they were traveling across Brazil, in Florianópolis, and he gave details about a big decision he needed to make at the time: whether or not to invest in his rocket company SpaceX. Today the billionaire harassed his friend, saying he was into it. Time tried to dissuade him from investing money in the startup, because he would end up “losing money.” Musk said, “Maybe you were right.”

Musk notes the meeting with his friend in Florianópolis in the first two minutes of the last conversation, which has already been watched by more than 238,000 people.
