Well when your dad owns an emerald mine, you come from insane wealth and privilege, you don’t “start” businesses rather just buy the work from under the people who actually built the business, and throw a weekly temper tantrum on social media because someone hurt your feelings, it’s pretty easy.
It’s wild that Elon fanboys actually attribute much of his success to him. His operating of Twitter alone shows what a colossal failure and idiot he is.
His father owned stocks in an emerald mine, he didn’t own the whole thing, his father also beat the everloving shit out of him on a regular basis.
Second, twitter, for the first time since its founding, has a chance to be profitable, if that is a “colossal failiure”, you’re delusional.
I don’t care how much you like him or hate him, but to assign all the bad things that happen to his companies as his fault, and to assign all successes of his companies to someone else is intellectually dishonest.

Weird to split hairs like this when the result of being part owner in the emerald mine meant “We had so much money we couldn’t even close our safe.” (Elon Musk, 2018). Sorry if I don’t worship the ground of an entitled, mega-priviledged, rich kid who was funded by his father.
…twitter, for the first time since its founding, has a chance to be profitable…
There is 0 evidence of this and if you live in the real world, you’d know this is not how things work. Just because a group of delusional incels view him as a messiah, doesn’t mean the market agrees. Everything he’s done since buying Twitter shows how disconnected to reality he is.
In the grand scheme of things, his fathers money was a drop in the bucket, you can call him mega-priviledged all you want, if the world gave you ten times the amount of money musk’s father gave him(a figure that still hasn’t been given, so it might be zero, considering his relationship with his father), you couldn’t do 1/10th of what he did. Until he sold x.com, his mother was living in a rent-controlled apartment. Also, i didn’t know that having your father beat you was a privilege.
The evidance is that musk hasn’t needed to sell any more tesla stock to cover the company’s expenses.
Look, mate, I’m not trying to convince you, if you’re looking for a boogieman, you’ll find him. Whether it’s musk or bezos or zuck or bill or whomever, doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things.
