A pretty good track record.  Here's a list:   Zip2 Corporation (an online directory) - sold to Compaq for $22 million PayPal - sold to eBay for $165 million Tesla - didn't start it but took it over and now worth roughly $386 billion (market cap as of 1/23) SolarCity - basically gone and is now Tesla Solar SpaceX - worth $127 biillion The Boring Company - valued at $5.7 billion Neuralink (human/computer interface) - worth anywhere from $500 million - $1 billion
