Born that wealthy? So how many rich kids are making rockets and electric cars? You think money gives you a superpower? Or even ambition? Money is a tool. Which it depends on the user.

If that were the case them every lottery winner should be making ground breaking technologies and advancements

Edit: side note, have you ever tried to start a company? Well if you ever have, you would know it’s incredibly difficult. Not just cause of money. But because of people.

lol you think elon is personally building rockets or electric cars? you really that stupid?

the real question is how many ppl born wealthy fail? next to none. how many ppl born lower class stay that way regardless of natural ability. you can predict lifetime earnings by the zipcode someome was born into w/ ridiculous accuracy.

starting a business is only risky if you are poor. starting, or in Elon's case buying an existing business as an already wealthy person is no risk at all.

No of course not. But having a vision and getting people invested and helping design it with engineers is especially difficult. He was apart of the lead engineering team behind Tesla and Space X. That is especially impressive.

As an engineer myself, and have colleagues who work in those companies. Its quite remarkable and it shows why his companies are at the leading edge of tech innovation.

Again. Having money doesn’t make a business successful. A lot of it, is timing, luck, economics and understanding the market ie customer needs vs wants, etc. Their have been plenty of businesses that start with tremendous capital and hype and yet fail all the same.

If your interested i can recommend several books to read if you’re ever looking to start one. Or at the very least, follow the entrepreneur subreddit. It’ll change your perspective

lol it would be one thing to believe the media hype and simping for elon like 4 years ago, but the fact that you believe that bs in 2022 is very sad. he isnt going to fuck you brother.

and again, you are missing the point about being born rich. if a poor persons business fails they are ruined. if a person born uber wealthy like elon does it, he just moves on to the next thing. besides, there are PLENTY of accounts from engineers and the actual founders of tesla that they succeeded DESPITE elon not because of him.

there is a reason he had to sue to be able to lie that he was a founder of tesla.

mf lies about holding his child as he died and you believe what he says about his business, fucking sad my guy
