South African born Elon Musk says South Africa is a very violent country.

The billionaire and CEO of Space X and Tesla was responding to questions on the Full Send Podcast about whether he had ever been in fights.

Elon Musk said being bullied in South Africa probably helped motivate him to achieve success in life and although he never started any, he was regularly in fights he didn’t want to be in.

“Where I grew up the things were very violent. I mean I never started a fight or anything, but I had a lot of fights that I didn’t want to be in and I got beat up really badly in a few of them actually. So, I’ve been in real hardcore street fights.”
