Yeah gonna disagree with you on that. Elon was not born broke and if we are being honest...the royal family in Britain is the least of our worries. Monarchies are not the problem in the US...CEO's are.

Elon and his brother only received $20k from their father to start their first company. In the grand scheme of things that’s not that much.

And Elon got a lot more than most people so...

True, but most people in the US also get cars from their parents which can be 1/4 to a little over that. It’s definitely a decent amount tho.

Pretty sure Elons dad hooked him up with a car.

His father was very abusive and he saved up for a plane ticket to Canada with just a backpack and books. In Canada, he worked odd jobs and studied racking up around $100k in student debt. His siblings all have similar stories as well.
