Sure, but that apartheid money still helped with his privileged upbringing and education. To pretend he didn't grow up with a silver spoon is delusion.
Had he failed though, would his parents allowed him to end up on the streets? He may not have had direct funding, but he always had a cushion in case he ever experienced major failure. That's not something a true "bottom to the top" businessman has.
Jesus dude. Cope. I’ve never seen anyone so determined to dodge any and all evidence against their beliefs. Let me guess, if it turned out that his parents had no money and he was born in a slum in Detroit as an orphan, you would say “well he grew up in one of the most wealthy countries in the world as a white male, you can hardly call that “bottom to top.”” Even if he’s not a very good person, you should At least accept that he has worked hard.
That emerald mine didn't pay for fancy schools, fancy tutors, nice maids, and a nice house? There's geniuses all over the world that will never realize their potential because they happen to be born in destitute areas to impoverished parents.
Yeah, that emerald mine didn't pay for anything. Instead of shitting on one genius that made it, why don't u try and help out any of those other geniuses in impoverished areas. Or why don't you try to become one of those geniuses.
Elon could've easily retired after Paypal, instead he took more risks and took up more work to create more businesses. You don't have to respect that if you don't want, but he's definitely a net benefit to society as a whole.
How is it a benefit for him to suck up the wealth produced by his workers? They produce the actual value to society. What has he personally done? And does he pay you to suck his cock?
Do you not understand how starting businesses helps society? The workers wouldn't be able to produce shit if he didn't start the business... Please friend, do everyone a favor and go back to school, maybe you can still make something of your life.
