The origin of the scar lies in a dramatic episode from Musk’s 42nd birthday party in 2013. In a spirited sumo wrestling match, Musk, donning a samurai outfit, attempted a judo throw against a 350-pound sumo wrestler. The clash left him with a herniated disc in his neck. Ever the relentless visionary, Musk powered through years of discomfort before finally undergoing a significant C5-C6 spinal cord surgery to address the injury.
The procedure was successful, but Musk has openly shared his ongoing challenges and the recovery process. His willingness to discuss these personal experiences highlights his resilience and unwavering determination, both of which have been instrumental in his journey through the highs and lows of leading multiple cutting-edge ventures.
