It may appear that billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has found success easily and quickly in every project he has picked so far – such as Tesla and SpaceX. But the journey has been far from smooth, according to him. At one point his private space company was almost broke and Mr Musk did not have a clue how to resurrect it. At that time, NASA came to Mr Musk's rescue and saved SpaceX with a $1.5 billion contract, the tech tycoon has said in an interview. A video of the interview was shared on Twitter by Tesla owners of Silicon Valley, the global centre for innovation. And Mr Musk reacted to the video saying, “It's true”. It's true I do love NASA, always have Just want to say thanks to those in government who fight hard for the right thing to happen, despite extreme pressure to do otherwise.Therein lies the core goodness of the American state. Mr Musk said in the interview when NASA called with the offer, he “could not even hold the components”. “I just spill it out: I love you guys.” The interviewer asked him, “They saved you?” “Yeah, they did,” Mr Musk replied.
