Which programming languages is Elon Musk proficient in?

Legend has it that Elon Musk started learning to develop in BASIC on his own with a book that proposed a program in 6 months.

Already very gifted and passionate, Elon Musk finished this book in 3 days.

Elon Musk then started to develop his first video game.

In 1984, at the age of 12, Elon Musk created the game Blastar of which you can find an HTML5 version here : Blastar for HTML5[1].

This game is inspired by the game Alien Invaders.

Elon Musk managed to sell his game to PC and Office Technology for $500. From his first steps in the world of programming, Elon Musk learned how to make a profit. An essential first step in what was to follow for him.

After this initial success, Elon Musk realized that reading books to learn new things could be extremely rewarding. From that point on, Elon Musk began to make money with his development skills.

When asked about his game Blastar, Elon Musk explains:

"[It was] a trivial game... but better than Flappy Bird."

We can therefore already estimate that Elon Musk has an excellent knowledge of BASIC.

Nevertheless, Elon Musk's favorite language is not BASIC. Someone asked him one day on Twitter, and Elon Musk answered that C was his favorite language:

So you can consider that Elon Musk has a good command of the C language. This is logical because C is the language that every good and self-respecting developer must master.

Having a good command of C, he must also have tried C++ afterwards.

The C/C++ combo is a great classic which can be found at Elon Musk. However, considering all the projects he leads, I doubt that Elon Musk still has many opportunities to develop, even for fun.
