    We’re not the ones who made him what he is. Most of his money came from his family’s emerald mines in Africa. Correction: The emerald mine is just what made him rich in the first place.

    Most of the money came from government either in subsidies, or defense contracts for Starlink; and tesla’s inflated stock that is not based in reality.

        Of course! You’re completely right. The emerald mine was what got him started. My mistake.

          NP, he wouldn’t have never gotten started with his bullshit without that money, so it is valid to point that out.
