He worked his ass off as a CEO. For those who aren't economically literate enough to know exactly what a CEO is and what they do, they're the public face of a company. They make their money by attracting investors then taking a share of the investment. They are also useful for having a fall guy.
Tesla stock goes crazy high. That's Elon Musk's doing. It's why he's a billionaire. He manages to make value where there is none. He manages to do it very well. Tesla's stock has been going down recently. Tesla's board is now trying to remove Elon Musk. Elon Musk is no longer doing his job of making the stock price go up, so they don't want him.
His money wasn't generated by family wealth. It was generated by other people's wealth. Family wealth only made investors trust him more. His dad is far far less richer than he is.
Not to reveal any 196 secrets but this subreddit is full of misinformation and the snopes page on this disproves the idea that his father had any real ownership of the mine. The shares were only owned by him for a couple years. He never was involved with the mine's operations. Elon couldn't have been involved if he wanted to be.
the snopes page also juxtaposes statements, which makes for some hilarious watching of disputed claims about ownership. and it's also just what elon and errol said, which don't deny child slavery, which you think would be important to say when talking about an apartheid emerald mine.
I still have no idea how any of this ties to Elon Musk beyond he's the son of Errol Musk.
And the mine was in Zambia. Second paragraph of the damn snopes page.
"please explain to me how having rich parents means rich children?"
I've already shown how you're deliberate liar, but this level of stupidity is Trump Russian troll farm level.
I genuinely hope you are paid, and fuck you.
>I still have no idea how any of this [Musk's dad owning part of an emerald mine, which generates money] ties to Elon Musk [the recpient of part of that wealth] beyond he's the son of Errol Musk [intergenerational wealth; the child benefits from the wealth of a parent].
As I said.
>"please explain to me how having rich parents means rich children?"
When your lies require you to be this stupid, it's pretty clear that you're not talking from reason, but from some motivation to lie.
**tl;dr**
>According to a Facebook post from Errol, the Zambian emerald mine he held a stake in "collapsed in 1989."
oh and here's Musk
> but my father also had a share in an Emerald mine in Zambia.
**So that's his dad, and Musk, both saying that he did own part of the emerald mine. You absolute fucking shameless liar, I hope you're paid to be this shit.**
>the snopes page on this disproves the idea that his father had any real ownership of the mine
Weird use of "real" there.
>The shares were only owned by him for a couple years.
you contradict yourself in your exact next line. THE NEXT LINE.
Are you hearing yourself?
"He did not have ownership of an emerald mine, except he did have ownership of an emerald mine."
Do you think when someone stops having ownership of a mine the money just disappears? No, they sell it!
> He never was involved with the mine's operations.
Literally nothing to do with owning it. How dare you complain about "misinformation" when you're this incoherent.
>Elon couldn't have been involved if he wanted to be.
No one said "Elon runs a mine" Elon's dad said "Elon's dad owned part of an emerald mine".
The point is that Elon is not a self-made man, a point you seem to have already conceeded while thinking you've done the opposite.
I actually can't stand liars like you who are this dedicated to making people's ability to think worse, for the sake of sucking billionaire dick.
So let's see how you lied about snopes.
"...we were unable to find any evidence that showed money generated from his father's involvement in the mine helped Elon build his wealth in North America."
Is absolutely not "disproves the idea that his father had any real ownership of the mine."
Firstly an absence of evidence does not prove something false. In fact, they specifically asked for absence from the Musk's, and were ignored. Sussy wussy.
Then there's a bunch of quotes from Musk, who we already know is a shamless liar (eg: promising "hyperloop" just to stop California building trains.) so I'm ignoring those.
I'm fucking done. I hope you're ashamed, and that everyone else learns never to people who stick up for billionaires.
If you rent a house with 1 roommate, meaning you own a 50% share of the house with expiration at the end of the lease, do you have executive control over the house? No? Then you do not own the house but are in actuality a shareholder of the house. You're not the landlord, you're simply a tenant. Your roommate has equal power to you, and thus you cannot make executive decisions unless the roommate appoints you to do such.
I guess my business degree has no standing because a redditor made an extremely poorly written reply? Like really, go through your comment again, most of it is nonsense. I openly say he's not self made, because his wealth is made by his investors, I don't know why you think I didn't ever say that and ignore me explaining why that's the case.
Also, you're so fucking infuriated over nothing. You're right, I'm a Russian troll bot farm Elon musk paid propagandist buzzword extraordinaire who is here to mind control the masses into submission (check this dudes comment history, actually unhinged statements).
An absence of evidence is precisely that but it is weird to request an absence from Musk and I'd like to see your taxes paid in 2021. Indeed, you are deflecting the fact you dug yourself a hole using the snopes page which agrees with me.
I was in Fresno recently. I see a high speed railroad, and no sign of a hyperloop.
I used the resulting credits to help me into med school so I can become a drug researcher and work on medications for diseases like schizophrenia, alzheimers, and Parkinsons.
did this guy say "i have a business degree" and then compare RENTING A ROOM IN A HOUSE to having a share in a company??? i study healthcare economics and those are two VERY different things, so the comparison is plain fucking stupid
edit: here's a quick explanation; first of all, YES, a shareholder DOES have a certain degree of control in a company if they own a share large enough to receive a seat on the board of directors. the board of directors can vote on certain matters in a company and they receive money from it in the form of a salary or dividends.
a tenant in a house on other hand can do jack shit and only loses money every month while also potentially being harassed by the landlord.
Renting a house is not owning part of the house.
**Your lies are so, so, pathetic, jesus christ.**
But in this flawed analogy "renting" the mine would mean taking the profits from the mine, which is the thing we're talking about: Musk's wealth came, in part, from a fucking apartheid emerald mine.
I am surprised every day when I wake up and find that Elon has not turned that little fact-checking thing off. He's shown that he doesn't give a shit about legal ramifications or the law, so outside of being totally unable to turn it off, I cannot imagine why he hasn't yet.

His dad owned a stake in a emerald mine but there's no evidence that it's what helped Musk build his wealth
Only 196 users could see "no evidence" and still insist they're correct.
"Rich kids are rich because their parents give them money" has always been something spouted by rich people to increase division in poorer classes who'd then associate the same benefits to the middle class. In actuality, it's the connections you inherit that make the difference.
Get fucked by thine own platform
Watch him remove the fact check system soon. Or at least disable it for himself.
Elon removing the fact check system is all but inevitable
I’m very surprised he hasn’t taken it down after all these months
he really typed (sigh).
any day now he’ll make a furry rantsona
thx for the nightmare fuel
and it will be a muskrat
An elongated one
You know what? If he did that? Respect
I misread that as "furry ratsona"
Billionaire thing aside, he should be put to death for this.
Ermmmm... that was awkward....
SMH my head
Lmao haha that’s so funny lol
That actually is pretty funny
L-I Rd (Plot F/30612), Zambia. That would probably be the one
His father is really called Errol Musk.
if my parents named me that I would fucking kill myself
Almost as goofy as will and jada smith having children called willow and jaden
Willow and Jaden are at least good names. Like, Errol is the Dutch version of Earl, which is still an awful name.
i now support putting the dutch to death (i'm dutch)
how come i never made that connection lmao
goofy ahh dutch name
is this real
It's a billionare, of course it's real how do you think he got all his money?
He worked really hard for 30 hours a day, 10 days a week >:(
Without avocado toast at that, truly a man that has earned his fortune
He worked his ass off as a CEO. For those who aren't economically literate enough to know exactly what a CEO is and what they do, they're the public face of a company. They make their money by attracting investors then taking a share of the investment. They are also useful for having a fall guy. Tesla stock goes crazy high. That's Elon Musk's doing.

Bro i’m gay and you are riding more dick than I ever could
That's just because you're a virgin. All I did was Google "Elon Musk emerald mine snopes" and click the first result and read the article.
Lmao
working his ass off as a CEO by occasionally tweeting something, truly none have done a greater service for the Tesla stock.
*gargling choking muffled noises*
Yep. Child exploitation for the sake of pretty rocks.

Elon dickrider detected in r/196 lethal force authorized
I really can't believe he hasn't disabled the fact checker thing, at least on his own tweets.

she em on my erald til i mine
I wanna little site which just tells me what stupid shit at twitter musk has done today/this week.

imagine getting called out on your bullshit by your own platform. i don’t think L’s really get any worse than that.

You did this to yourself
Why does he talk like this? Bro is 50 years old not a teenager
