    I dislike Musk like the next guy and I don’t think he is a great inventor, but he did not became a billionaire by inheritance.

      No, he became a billionaire by grifting and lying, getting government handouts for huge projects that never actually did what he claimed, if they were completed at all.

      “Humans on Mars in 10 years”-2011 “FSD… From Los Angeles to new York city with no human intervention…NOW” etc.

      But he wouldn’t have been able to even get the ears of those grifts and government handouts without already being wealthy.
