>>13491881Sort of? He had a lot of money and was lucky to have had a computer during its infancy, but his dad was a piece of shit and afaik Elon has had nothing to do with him since he left the country, and paid for most of his schooling with scholarships/debt. More than anything I'd say he was very lucky to have been in the right place during the dot com boom, I'm not sure he would've been able to get his feet of the ground had he not had some success early on with zip2. Originally he was going to go into battery research, so many he would've been another lab sperg we've never heard of if things went differently
