His abusive father (who killed 3 people during a burglary btw) whom he cut ties with had some money yes. But he, his mother and brother lived on their own in South Africa while his mother worked multiple jobs to get by. Later they left for Canada without his father with a few thousand dollars at most. In Canada they had to live in a rent controlled apartment. Does this sound like the life of a rich kid to you? Even if you discount this fact, if every child with a millionaire father would go on to revolutionize two industries at once I think we'd be much further along as a species... The anti-Elon crowd has truly created an alternate reality where they can dismiss anything he has ever accomplished. I get that his personality does not jive with a lot of people, but the solution to resolve this cognitive dissonance is not to find any and all reasons to dismiss what he's done but to realize he's a complicated person, great at a lot of things, intelligent, driven, but also childish, emotional and over-confident at times.
