, another former employer at Zip2, systems engineer Branded Spikes, spoke to the BBC producers about his former boss. Spikes described Elon Musk as an “unusual fellow” who worked late, slept under his desk, and seemingly knew it all. The working-late habit seems to be something that followed Musk from as early as childhood, as his mother Maye Musk confessed she would struggle to wake him up in the morning because he would stay up all night reading books.
Palo Alto-based Zip2 was a city guide software provider for newspapers founded by Elon Musk and his brother Kimbal Musk back in 1995. Compaq bought Zip2 for $307 million in 1999, with Elon getting $22 million and Kimbal another $15 million out of that deal. Musk would go on to create Paypal before selling it to eBay for $1.5 billion in 2002.
