The results of Elon Musk’s computer aptitude test when he was 17 shared online

As some of you know, we love to write about Elon Musk mainly because of his tenacity, perseverance, and how he defied all odds and proved everyone wrong to build the world’s most valuable car company. Today, we would like to share another story about Musk that perhaps, may not come as a surprise to many of you. It a story of when Musk was at the University of Pretoria in South Africa.

As we all know, once in a while, moms like to embarrass their kids but not necessarily to humiliate them. Yesterday, Musk’s mom, Maye Musk, shared the results of Elon Musk’s aptitude test when he was just 17 years old. Musk scored As in both tests. He had to be retested because the University had never seen such a score.  In a tweet, which is also liked by Elon Musk, Maye said:

“.⁦ @elonmusk ⁩ I found your computer aptitude test from when you were 17. If I remember correctly, they had to retest you because they had never seen such a high score. No wonder you are such a brilliant engineer. #ProudMom”
