Okay hear me out. SpaceX. Not a very successful name as compared to NASA. Microsoft. Apple. Amazon or any Chinese space industries. Same goes for Tesla. There are way bigger car brands like Toyota or honda or Bugatti if we are going big. But think about it. Why arnt the owners of these brands the richest person. When they are clearly more successful and prominent… same goes with starlink. All of elons companies aren’t world wide. So how is he the richest. And plus. Him loosing billions of worth of stocks in a span of days dropping from 1T isn’t normal is it…
Are we being lied to?
Starting of as the son of a family that own, I think it was emerald mines, didn’t hurt. Also getting a special position in the government where he used teenagers and a chain saw to eliminate the government agencies that regulate his businesses also didn’t hurt. Then promising big in a charismatic way and delivering small managed to get him a number of government contracts and grants and finally the most important characteristic need to become wealthy… lack of a moral compass. Guess he just got lucky.
