Billionaire Elon Musk's father, Errol Musk, said at the “2050 Future Forum” that in the early days of Elon Musk's rocket manufacturing career, he tried to buy a rocket in Russia, but was rejected because it was viewed as a joke. “He was in Russia and was trying to buy rockets there — as we all know, Russia makes the best rockets,” the entrepreneur's father laughed. “They didn't sell the rockets to him, I think he was kidding.” The father claims that after that, Musk began to independently produce rockets within his SpaceX company.
