Whatever anyone thinks of him he is "self made". He came from a middle class family in South Africa. His father was an engineer and his mother was a dietician. He didn't "inherit" any real money. His parents did pay for his education in the U.S., but his father went bankrupt and has since been supported by Elon and his brother. He truly is self-made, in the classic American sense. He founded several small enterprises and most of them succeeded (but not all.) One of the start-ups he was invested in eventually morphed into PayPal.Or just a bored little rich boy who gets his kicks out of causing mayhem.
Errr...What about the emerald mine?Whatever anyone thinks of him he is "self made". He came from a middle class family in South Africa. His father was an engineer and his mother was a dietician.

The "pedo guy" court case showed that if you are rich enough you can get away with almost anything. Why would anyone risk their lives to rescue children only to have their reputation trashed across the world?He is not a douche because he is rich. He is a douche because he is a fricken ignorant tool. Simple as that.
Far out, man! That's like, ya' know, cosmic.
That story has been proven to be apocryphal. His father invested in a "rock outcrop" (a mining claim) that supposedly contained emeralds and, indeed, some were recovered and helped pay for his U.S. education. There was no "emerald mine" in the normal sense.
Agreed.He is not a douche because he is rich. He is a douche because he is a fricken ignorant tool. Simple as that.
Just because you have money or are "self made" does not make you "good people"
There is that one-way politics policy again...Agreed.

Uh-huh! ...right.? Please explain why or what musk has to do with politics.
I dont see it being an european. Perhaps to far away to spot it.
QED.... again!He leans towards supporting "strong" leaders in every country which is why he cuts off Starlink to certain areas which stops the Ukrainians attacking prime Russian and Crimean targets.
