Reply to comment by thesweeterpeter in Elon Musk to turn Twitter into payment platform for dogecoin and crypto by MidoriTea

He didn’t “get rich” from PayPal. He may have got “more rich”, but it’s not like PayPal is what made him. He was born into being rich from the start.

Edit: maybe don’t listen to me. I thought I knew what I was talking about, but with more research, now I have no idea. There’s different stories saying different things. I also realized in my search that I really don’t care to know. I’m tired of hearing about musk and shouldn’t of even replied. Have a good day all of you

Didn't he? I know about his family, but afaik it's well documented that he didn't really have any money throughout college.

Ok, so while fact checking myself, I’m getting all kinds of different answers. I don’t know anymore. My bad for speaking like I actually know the guy.

He made 175m from paypal. It was a pretty important step.

Yes he was privileged but his family wasn't stupid rich.

He's an asshole but to say he hasn't made some good/smart calls is also fairly ignorant.
