 On January 11, Twitter user @PPathole tweeted: @elonmusk in 1995, fixing his car by himself as he couldn't afford to pay for repairs. Turns out, Elon Musk's first car was a pre-owned 1978 BMW 320i that he purchased in 1993.

"I bought the replacement glass from a junkyard for $20. They’re great places to get spare parts", he tweeted back.

The throwback picture was first shared by Musk’s mother, Maye Musk, on Twitter in 2019. “@elonmusk #1995 And people said you knew nothing about cars.”

Elon responded to his mother’s tweet the same day. “Couldn’t afford to pay for repairs, so I fixed almost everything on that car from parts in the junkyard. Ironically, that’s me replacing broken side window glass. The circle is complete lol,” he wrote. Musk revealed that he had bought the 1978 BMW 320i in 1993 for $1,400.
