Musk did not invent PayPal. He founded x.com which merged with PayPal two years after PayPal was founded.

He has also been clear that he had three goals:

1) Expanding solar power use.

2) Popularizing electric vehicles.

3) Making human life multi-planetary.

I am paraphrasing and perhaps understating his desired level of success.




Go read Musk's biography at WaitButWhy.com - and you'll see that summarizing it into a two-line post is difficult. Suffice to say it all serves the goal of colonizing Mars.
