- dagw 5y agoElon had starting capital. So do millions of people. The vast majority end up doing absolutely nothing of interest or value with it.

- goodpoint 5y agoStarting capital and social connections is like having thousands of lottery tickets. You need to be smart enough to check the winning numbers, but that's far from enough to win.
- refurb 5y agoIf you got the capital he had could you replicate Tesla’s success? I know I couldn’t.
- daqhris 5y agoEvery immigrant has starting capital, be it money or knowledge or courage. What you make out of it is totally uncertain. Do you know there used a time when he was a broke teenager, in a foreign individualist society, scrambling for cash to pay rent or take a shower? Let's see what that Prince from England will do in the next five years in North America. He's got all it takes to succeed in a capitalist country. So, can we expect for him a much brighter financial success than Musk's? I have many doubts.
