    Surprised that he didn’t mention his emerald mine starting capital

      Other than an interview from his father there’s no evidence of it and Elon denys it. The mine was unofficial and there’s no paper trail. It’s a risky claim to make from a journalistic perspective.

        Thankfully it’s not journalism. It’s comedy. I know it’s hard to tell the difference, but here’s a tip: comedians are far more likely to tell the truth these days.

          Sometimes a mine just a hole in the ground with some valuable minerals. They paid locals to work it and sold the emeralds on the down low according to his dad, he had a partner. It wasn’t a huge operation. But it paid their bills and then some.
