And if you count all that was directly involved in the creation of this company ? How much does it become then ?
1) $28000 cash
2) Food & lodging for him and his brother in Palo Alto
3) two debt-free Stanford educations (him & his brother), including PhD (which he walked out on)
How much does that come to ?
- NicoJuicy 9y agoWhere does it say his parents paid for it? Was the PhD a requirement, since he quitted it? How expensive would renting an appartment be in that time, 750$ / month? Did he rent one? Because he doesn't have a house there and stays with friends a lot of the time https://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-Elon-Musk-does-not-have-a-house https://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-Elon-Musk-does-not-hav... He and a fellow student rented a vacant frat house and transformed it into a nightclub. Quite a daring and bold move for a low-income college student.

Why do people keep misreading that?
- candiodari 9y agoFirst paying for an extra year ... and then walking out on it, like Elon did, requires more than "not coming from poor" in my experience. Now, granted, I'm not sure about that. I did not come from rich parents, and if I had walked out on any of my university years there was no way in hell I would see another dollar from parents for a long time.
- NicoJuicy 9y agoHis parents were wealthy, like I said. Not rich ( not a requirement) Also, Elon was free to do what he wanted. Not everyone has the same parents/conditionals, but that is off topic though
