“When I was just starting out, I walked into Netscape to get a job. I just sat in the lobby holding my résumé, waiting quietly for someone to talk to me. No one did. I waited and waited.” Elon mentioned that he had no idea what protocol to follow. He just waited, hoping someone would come and invite him for an interview. “But no one spoke to me,” he said. “So I said: ‘Fuck it! I’ll just start my own company.’” The world was forever changed that day.
