Tech billionaire Elon Musk is known to be very particular about who he allows on board his team and that’s why this next story is very interesting.
The world’s second richest person has just hired a boy that’s aged 14 and he’s said to be profoundly gifted. Hence, Musk is all set to give him a chance to prove himself for Musk’s satellite-based SpaceX team.
Named Kairan Quazi, this young man is yet to graduate from high school but that is not going to stop him from making the best use of his talent and working at one of the world’s most prestigious institutions, SpaceX. Yes, CEO Elon Musk says he saw a spark in this young man that he’s yet to find anywhere else.
Therefore, he opted to give him a chance because he saw something special. And as you can imagine, people loved the fact that the billionaire was giving young talent a chance.
This makes Quazi the youngest-ever software engineer to be hired on the planet. And Elon Musk says he’s honored to have him working for SpaceX, adding how he’s expecting great things from him.
But this young man is really gifted and considered to be a rare species for obvious reasons. His parents sat down for an exclusive interview to shed light on why they feel their son is gifted and getting the fame and recognition he deserves.
His mother says she knew her son was a genius when he started to speak full sentences when he was just two. And then by the age of six, he was solving entire math equations. How’s that for some startling behavior?
But his school years did turn out to be a big struggle as his other friends could not keep up with his fast pace and that’s why he was not allowed to go ahead of the rest too much.
