    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.
