The only thing Elon is smart at is hiring the right people to do his taxes and run his companies. All he does is act as a hype/front man.

Reading his biography on Wikipedia, a lot of these posts are misleading or just not true. You can dislike him without lying about him.
He is a smart techie guy who was born at the right time (graduated college right at the beginning of the dot com boom) and got rich thanks to his first tech company. Then he got obscenely rich thanks to his second company and PayPal. Tesla was a lucky investment but SpaceX seems like a legit and admirable business venture by him. --- I go on too many dates.

That's them. I'm talking about us. It's an unknown. I mean, statistically speaking, you arent going to end up the wealthiest person on the planet even if you were born into wealth. Unless you somehow had exceptional success for the level of wealth you were born into, youre probably not going to be exceptional even if you were born into money. --- "Let's be honest...I'm everybody's type.

Obviously. But statistically, the grand majority of the world's wealthiest people weren't born dirt poor either. It's still a significant factor. Key posted...
Uncertain. Some people just give up if they didn't get any conditions conducive to success. Drop out rates are significantly higher in poor neighborhoods than in decent neighborhoods, for example.

If those people had something to build on, they'd have been less likely to quit.Sure I won't deny those in really poor neighborhoods are disadvantaged. Especially in violent/dangerous cities. But those born into middle class have more than enough opportunity to succeed. And even those who are poor have options and it'd up to the individual to take it. Some people start off with a advantage and thats life but giving up and saying my life will suck because my parents are poor is a personal decision and not a excuse. My family was well below the poverty line and while in far from elon musk now im comfortably in the upper middle class with room and plans to go up --- <:;:;:;:;:;:;:;:;}]\\\\\\O=('-'Q) (>'-')> <('-'<) ^( '-' )^ v( '-' )v <('-'<) ^(_ _)^ (>'-')> ^(^-^) ...
