I never heard “born rich” as part of the American dream. The idea behind the American dream is that you COULD become as wealthy as Elon, starting from nothing. Not only is that not true for him, but that hasn’t been true about any billionaire.
His wealth before coming to US is incomparable to his wealth today. If you start with a $1,000 today and for the American dream like he did, you’ll be a multimillionaire.
His emerald mine owning family is dirt poor compared to Elon. You’re free to move the goalposts all you want but what Elon is doing is quite literally chasing the american dream.
Do you not understand that once you have certain amount of money to play with, I think it used to be $100,000, becoming a millionaire becomes significantly easier. Elon has taken zero part in the “American Dream”.
Becoming a millionaire and becoming the richest people in the world are quite different. There’s plenty of people with 100k USD who are not and will never be as succesfull/wealthy as Elon.
But sure, whatever. You don’t like Musk so I don’t think anything anyone is going to say will change your mind on that.
Do you not understand the difference between “having” $100,000 and being able to “play with” $100,000? Success in this country is based on the ratio of how many people you’re willing to screw over with how good you look to the public/customers.
I don’t understand how you or anyone else doesn’t see that, but keep sucking Elon’s peepee, I’m sure it’ll get you far.
Well, considering his wealth, I’d say he’s living an American dream to its fullest extent.

His family ownes an emerald mine in South Africa. Where does that fall into the American dream?

You completely ignored my point. Elon has taken zero part in the “American Dream” he has only taken advantage of American capitalism.
