Elon Musk wasn't born with nothing. He was born with everything. Father owned an emerald mine. Mother was a model. Private schools. Expensive computers. No survival mode. At 12, he sold a video game for $500. They called it genius. But genius needs resources and Elon had them all. Moved to Canada at 17. Through his mother's citizenship. Instant legal status. University of Pennsylvania. Ivy League education. Started Zip2 in 1995. The media says "bootstrapped startup." The reality? $28,000 loan from his father. Family connections. When you can afford to fail, risk becomes opportunity. Sold Zip2 for $300 million. Co-founded PayPal. Not from a garage. From privilege. Then came Tesla. He didn't found Tesla. He bought his way in. Money bought him founder status. SpaceX. Neuralink. Each built on fortune from the last. Each cushioned by the emerald mine money. They call him self-made. But self-made men don't start with emerald mines. Elon is brilliant. But he's privilege-made.
