What is common between YouTube, LinkedIN, Tesla and SpaceX?





The answer is PayPal!

Why, you ask? 
Because these companies were among the many founded by people who founded or worked at Paypal in the early days.

This group of early PayPal employees were so successful and influential in the tech-world that they are also referred to as the "PayPal Mafia"

Some of the big names are as follows

Elon Musk, is founder of X.com which acquired the company Confinity. Musk later became a co-founder of Tesla Inc, he then founded SpaceXNeuralinkOpenAIThe Boring Company, and is the Chairman of SolarCity
