Elon Musk was bullied so badly he was hospitalised and forced to move schools

As a child, the billionaire was once beaten up so badly it took him decades of surgeries to fix the damage caused to his face and nose. The new revelations come in a biography by Walter Isaacson titled Elon Musk

In one incident he was beaten so badly he had to get taken to hospital and even decades later he was still getting surgery to try and fix the damage caused. "If you have never been punched in the nose, you have no idea how it affects you the rest of your life," Musk later said.

His younger brother Kimbal, who had been there at the time, recalled: "They sat on him and just kept beating the shit out of him and kicking him in the head. When they got finished, I couldn't even recognize his face. It was such a swollen ball of flesh that you could barely see his eyes."

After the brutal fight, the book recounts how Elon's dad Errol Musk sided with the boy who had beaten his son up. Errol says: "The boy had just lost his father to suicide, and Elon had called him stupid. Elon had this tendency to call people stupid. How could I possibly blame that child?"
