JAKARTA - Elon Musk, who is the boss of Tesla and SpaceX, has experienced a unique incident. At that time he was 17 years old. Young Elon Musk was required to repeat the computer mastery aptitude assessment test, not because his score was low but because he scored too high.
This experience was shared by her mother, Maye Musk through a recent post on her Twitter.
“I discovered your computer aptitude test when you were 17 years old. If you don't remember, they ask you to repeat the test because they have never seen a high score like you have achieved,” wrote @mayemusk on her Twitter.
"No wonder you become a brilliant engineer," she added.
In that post, the mother also uploaded evidence of a letter requesting Elon Musk to repeat his aptitude test at the University of Pretoria on May 17, 1989. Based on the letter, Elon Musk received an A+ operating score and A+ programming as well.
Maye Musk also tells another story about her successful son. She said at the age of 12 Elon Musk was already making a computer game about outer space called "Blastar". Maye Musk helps her son in selling the Blastar game source code. At that time, Elon Musk managed to get 500 US dollars from a magazine that bought it.
The mother has noticed her son's intelligence level is above average since Elon Musk was 3 years old.
"At the age of three, I knew that he was a genius, but I still do not know whether he will use it for extraordinary things or not," said Maye Musk, who had been a model and nutritionist.

In 1995, Elon Musk and his brother, Kimbal Musk succeeded in making Zip2. The mother's doubts were broken. Zip2 is a startup that offers online city guides in newspapers.
“And then, of course, Elon thought the banking system needed to be fixed, so he founded PayPal. After that, he plans to do research on outer space, solar energy, or electric cars? I said, just choose one," said Maye Musk.
However, Elon Musk didn't really listen to his mother's advice. Unmitigated, Elon Musk even made it all by founding the space exploration company SpaceX and the electric car company Tesla.
"And of course he did not listen to my advice," she added as quoted by People.
