Okay, and the OP's source for Elon's success coming solely from daddy's money and nothing else is what?

Musk has publicly laid out that anybody can get rich writing software without much startup capital - which not only makes sense but by all accounts seems to be exactly what he did.

Nobody said solely, but the source is daddy emeraldbucks himself.

Your hero isn't a genius. He's just a lucky narcissist with the money to buy succes and the shamelessness to constantly brag about how superior he thinks he is to everyone.

If you're not a fanboy, why are you going out of your way to run interference for him? Just like the taste of boots or are you one of those "billionaires get a bad rap" numbskulls?
