Musk risked everything? That's new. If I am not mistaken, daddy wasn't exactly poor...

  As a kid he was estranged from his dad, his dad ultimately only gave him around 20k. Elon Musk has been successful based on his own background, not his dads who was a remote, not positive influence in his life.

    You'll excuse me if I'm a bit skeptical of the romanticized lifestory version.

      It's healthy to be skeptical. At the same time, Musk wouldn't be the first successful person who came from a crappy background.

  He could have retired after Zip2. Almost tenfold so after X/PayPal.

    How is that 'risking everything'??

      I didn't say that - just pointed out that he was loaded way before Tesla.
