He moved to Canada after graduating from high school. He earned degrees in economics and physics. Zip2 was the first computer program he offered on a wide scale. He created and promoted it along with his brother. This web software changed the way newspapers put materials together including the New York Times.
In 1999, he created a financial entity online called X.com, but he later merged it with the ideas behind Paypal. He felt that the Paypal system was a better option and he financially backed it. His big idea is the Hyperloop, that could possibly one day make it possible to travel from Los Angeles to New York in about 30 minutes! The cost to implement is about $6 million and it would rely on solar energy.
