Elon Musk was a “geek” in the 80s, like the rest of the people who love computers. So much so that it has now been discovered that scheduled a videogame when I was a teenager.
Musk’s path to business dominance began at a young age. While studying at the University of Pennsylvania, he and a friend opened a successful nightclub in their rented house. Musk later earned degrees in physics and economics from the University of Pennsylvania. In short, his drive to be different from the rest began when he was 12 years old.

Musk developed a video game that anyone can try
At the age of nine, Musk got his first computera Commodore VIC-20. This included a manual that taught the BASIC computer language. Musk learned it in three days and soon began creating programs.
When Musk was 12 years old (1983), he developed the source code for a video game called blast. The goal was to blow up as many alien cargo ships as possible with the five available ships. The player had to avoid “deadly hydrogen bombs” and “cosmic radiation devices”. It was definitely a game inspired by the classic game space invaders released in 1978.
The code was published in PC and Office Technology in 1984, and Musk received $500 for his efforts, but it never came to light. oh well, not until 2015.
Ashlee Vance, a Bloomberg technology reporter, published a book on Elon Musk, which included an image of his code for the game in question. The software engineer Google, Thomas Lloret, saw this and turned it into a video game that anyone with an internet connection can play. To test it, all you have to do is enter this link.
