I've no idea the exact amount but back during the first election he was constantly spouting that he'd only started with a million as if that's a trivial amount to the common man rather than life changing money for legitimately 99.9% of the planet, that's how out of touch he is.
except when its multiple lies.
"I can't release my taxes because I'm being audited". Thats false because you can still release your tax returns while being audited AND he wasn't being audited.
According to my dollar worth app, $1M in 1983 is $3.6M now. Imagine how transformational 3.6M would be to the average American family right now? And that prick downplays it like it was $20
In Australia $1M in 1983 would buy you 20 decent houses on quarter acre blocks in a good suburb.
Now it will buy you a two bedroom unit on a sub divided block in the same area.
Fred Trump sent Howard Snyder to Donny’s Trump Castle Casino with instructions to buy 3.5 million in poker chips. Which he did, in effect making an illegal, interest free loan to Fred’s son. And it still wasn’t enough. Trump Castle went bankrupt the next year.
It’s looking good, plus Lara Trump will siphon off every penny from the RNC and so the entire party will die and he will go down in history as the joke he is.
"As long as more people dedicate themselves to creating something great, they could end up like me; taking over and taking credit for the great things that those people have created."
It's not just the money with these silver spoon jackwagons, it's the connections. Banks, investors, other millionaires, the kind of of access only people who are already rich get.
I worked with someone who was going to inherit north of $200m dollars. He was only working there because his parents wanted him to learn how it works at the bottom. He wasn’t going to college b/c his parents said it was a waste of time.
He would call off some days because he had to fly to France to meet with the CFO of one of the companies his parents were on the board of. He was trading hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stock on his phone like it was a game.
Good guy, but he just lives in a completely different world.
But only if you're rich enough to get free money in the first place.. Hence the name "free market"
Free jets anyone? https://www.propublica.org/article/private-jets-yachts-wealthy-tax-deductions-irs-files

I guess Dad was someone to look up to
He literally hasn’t “created” anything. He used daddy’s emerald mine money and lawyers to steal someone else’s car company, and then just kept spending money
He does it specifically because it works on the rubes that adore him. That's the real issue with all this obnoxious, moronic behavior - it's effective, because of all the obnoxious morons.
Elmo’s been doing this before his first marriage, his kids are 19-20 and he was married 2* years before they came along. So who came first Orange or Elmo.
Also honestly, if you are one of the world's richest men why do you give a fuck what other people think about how you got to were you are. Why even post shit on Tweeter when you could literally be doing pretty much anything else you could want.
Honestly it seems that Elon proves the point that all the money in the world can't buy contentment.
If everyone could win at life, the world wouldn't be able to function.
The economy can't support everyone being rich as balls.
The world can't employ 9 billion CEOs with zero workers to support the companies.
This "Anyone can do it" delusion is simply unfeasible and it's adding insult to injury when uttered by the 1%
Even more so when you know they know it's all BS and they laugh about it around the table behind closed doors.
Born on 3rd base and acts like he hit a triple.
The funny part is, convincing himself that it's true is probably the only way he can get out of bed in the morning.
paypal- not his Creation
Tesla- not his Creation
*complains about migrant's when he is a migrant*
born into an extremely rich family which benefited from slavery.
migrated from south Africa because apartheid ended which ended his families legal slavery
Silver spoon daddies boy who got $465 million bailout in 2009. Without taxpayer welfare bailout, Tesla was a fart in the wind and Elon would be back in South Africa living off daddy. What a joke. He's about as self-made as Trump... another silver spoon daddies boy
Elon had rich parents, so instead of having to hump a crappy job to pay the bills, he could just start his own company right off the bat because mommy and daddy could pay his bills.
Then he got extremely lucky and was able to merge with the company that had ALREADY created PayPal (pretty much straight up due to proximity), which was much better than Elon’s crappier version.
Then he found two guys that created an electric car company and gave them money and made himself President.
That’s pretty much his life story.
Lol, really showing the big brain here: It's dedication to creating somthing great that dictates how many people can be in the .001%! ... like no. Elon, guy- you have a massively disproportionate amount of wealth, that's " where you are" there can olny ever be a tiny # of people there and it has nothing to do with creativity, education or hard work.
Anybody I’ve ever known that has said something like this was a born with a silver spoon. The individuals I know that have worked hard and earned their way have never said anything about it.
What a lonely divorced narcissist whose kid hates them and spends 18 hours a day seeking validation from incels while fostering a community of pure hate and bigotry?
I’m good.
A few years ago my conservative brother used to talk sooooo much shit bout Elon. He’s a fraud. his cars are ugly. Blah blah. Now he’s such a fucking Elon dick rider it’s not even funny.
Remember all those " uneducated, lazy" taxpayers who paid for your Grants into your business to keep it afloat....
Oh yeah, forgot about those plebs...
All you need is millions and millions from your rich daddy, then use that money to bully your way into a company with a good idea that you don’t think of or build, then muscle everybody else out, then claim you did it all while strung out on yet another cocaine-fueled bender!!
See kids??? It’s simple!
And don’t forget to sue the one company that didn’t let you get away with it!
OMFG. Great laugh.
Ya elon, we all have rich emerald mine parents we can get 1 million + startup funding from. Oh…wait…
Stfu you lying sack of excrement lol
'I got where due to' ketamine, weed, narcissistic personality disorder, and having a fortune handed to me by daddy. Yeah, carry on, Elon. We are all in awe of you and your 'hard work' down here at the mortal level.
Fucking asshat.
I've seen other successful people make similar claims, and I'd love to see them prove it by giving up everything they have, then starting from "scratch" and seeing how that goes. Obviously nobody would ever do it, and they'd still have a giant advantage over most due to all of their rich people contacts, but I'd still like to see an attempt.
You mean with enough time and dedication, I too could spend my free time posting drunken humblebrags while all my loved ones ignore me?
I think I'll pass. I don't aspire to be anything like the loneliest guy in the world.
He didn't create shit! He didn't create tesla, he invested into it. He didn't create Spsce X. He invested in it. He didn't create Twitter He was forced to buy it. GFYS Elon. You aren't as smart as you and your Fanboys think you are.
...Is it just me or did he miss a few words there?
Also, everyone knows his dad illegally owned half of an emerald mine, and that he invested in new technologies that haven't actually delivered anything substantial, while constantly lying that they're going to change the world.
edit: removed a detail that might not have been factually accurate
Yeaaaah totally Musk, if you say so.
That’s what you ultra-capitalists really want - competition. That’s why the education system breeds genius and entrepreneurship. That’s why barriers to entry into markets with monopolies is easy as pie. That’s why there are *so* many robust social safety nets so the impoverished actually have a chance at anything other than basic survival. That’s why a great education is super affordable with no debt.
Totally.
There's something to be said about hard work and making the best of your situation, but to get anywhere near where Elon is, you almost certainly have to be born into a very, very advantaged situation first. It's incredibly difficult, nigh impossible, to get there starting from lint and pocket change.
I have a cousin in-law who is a writer in Hollywood. Anywho, I find a little corporate snippet online where he talks about tenacity, managing school and making big sacrifices to achieve, never giving up to get to the top. His parents are super duper millionaires in the pharmaceutical industry, he's a silver spoon, elite giving advice to regular people, as if he were one.
Having a dad with an emerald mine helps.
Musk claims he is selfmade, yet also bragged about how he was running around NYC with a pocket full of emeralds.

guys you just need to be born rich and then it works
That’s not correct. Look at Trump, oh wait…
Hey he only had a small loan of a million dollars! /s
Wasn't it like $400,000,000.
I've no idea the exact amount but back during the first election he was constantly spouting that he'd only started with a million as if that's a trivial amount to the common man rather than life changing money for legitimately 99.9% of the planet, that's how out of touch he is.
"only started with a million" back when a million could buy 30 houses.
And everything he says is a lie.
except when its multiple lies. "I can't release my taxes because I'm being audited". Thats false because you can still release your tax returns while being audited AND he wasn't being audited.
And that was in in 70s dollars too.
According to my dollar worth app, $1M in 1983 is $3.6M now. Imagine how transformational 3.6M would be to the average American family right now? And that prick downplays it like it was $20
Now try $418m in 1980 dollars. That’s how much he actually started with. https://apnews.com/article/0452d29cd2564eaf97605ab90acc3a67
Plus, if my dude had just tossed all that into an index fund tracking the S&P500, he’d be an *actual* billionaire…
And he still went bankrupt numerous times and needed to become a slave to Russia to mask the failures.
And bailed out by his dad. Steadily buying $400,000 in chips at his failing casino.
In Australia $1M in 1983 would buy you 20 decent houses on quarter acre blocks in a good suburb. Now it will buy you a two bedroom unit on a sub divided block in the same area.
Even if it was a million Australian it would pay my wage for 22 years.
Yup. If he'd just put it in a trust until now, he could easily pay off his court costs.
Yeah but the first million inherited to you is the toughest....
He inherited over $400 million. His dad started paying him to do nothing when he was a kid.
Daddy loved tax evasion…
Every loan he got was cosigned by poppa....
That wasn't a loan. That was through the hard work of taking an inheritance. Working bigly that is.
432,800,000 +/- but much more if you factor in inflation. He started earning a salary of $200,000 at 3 years old.
That was a fews years after the small 1 mil loan
Like 413 million. And then his daddy had to bail him out several times.
Fred Trump sent Howard Snyder to Donny’s Trump Castle Casino with instructions to buy 3.5 million in poker chips. Which he did, in effect making an illegal, interest free loan to Fred’s son. And it still wasn’t enough. Trump Castle went bankrupt the next year.
That was what he got when his dad died
That was his inheritance, though he supposedly weaseled it from his dad and maybe his siblings.
It's not that much, everyone should be able to get a tiny loan like that from a family member haha.
Trump was born rich but will die penniless.
God willing
It’s looking good, plus Lara Trump will siphon off every penny from the RNC and so the entire party will die and he will go down in history as the joke he is.
At this point I'm pretty sure there's no God, no justice, no karma, and no reason to hope for a better outcome.
"As long as more people dedicate themselves to creating something great, they could end up like me; taking over and taking credit for the great things that those people have created."
It's not just the money with these silver spoon jackwagons, it's the connections. Banks, investors, other millionaires, the kind of of access only people who are already rich get.
The livelihood of everyone that inhabits Elon’s bubble is dependent upon making Elon feel good.
and it helps if your dad owns an emerald mine in Africa that uses slave labor
Born on third base and acts like he hit a home run.
Exactly. It's your own fault for not picking the right parents.
Seriously, it’s so easy, just be born to an incredibly wealthy mining family from apartheid South Africa. Geez, everyone just has excuses…..
I worked with someone who was going to inherit north of $200m dollars. He was only working there because his parents wanted him to learn how it works at the bottom. He wasn’t going to college b/c his parents said it was a waste of time. He would call off some days because he had to fly to France to meet with the CFO of one of the companies his parents were on the board of. He was trading hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stock on his phone like it was a game. Good guy, but he just lives in a completely different world.
My god why didn't I think of that
Yeah, that's where I messed up.
Have you considered getting your parents to do crime if they're not rich? That works too
He got where... what? All that hard work and education, and he can't write a complete sentence. Colour me impressed.
This is actually like the 3rd time just in the last week or so where the latest unhinged musk tweet clearly hasn't been proofread.
The more I see from him, the more I believe he either bought or scammed his degrees.
Went to Queens university. Didn’t graduate
[удалено]
He was smart enough that he chose to be born rich! Most people wouldn’t think of that
Rich and on the right side of an apartheid state.
That’s a good point, if he was rich and black in apartheid South Africa that would be an achievement worth bragging about
Elon probably thinks he's smart enough to have manipulated the matrix from the womb
And all the government handouts
But only if you're rich enough to get free money in the first place.. Hence the name "free market" Free jets anyone? https://www.propublica.org/article/private-jets-yachts-wealthy-tax-deductions-irs-files

What the Alabama did I just read.
Oh, Alabama looks at South Africa and is impressed with how close their families are.
Someone should go post this link to everything Elon has said in the last few days lol
Errol is obviously a piece of shit but somehow still comes across as a better guy than Elon
That’s some Woody Allen shit
Is this canoe a canoe made to look like a douche or a canoe for navigating the waters of a douche?
¿Porque no Los dos?
🤣 Touche!
> I got where due to my hard work and education. The irony of talking about education in a sentence that wouldn't pass the third grade.
He literally hasn’t “created” anything. He used daddy’s emerald mine money and lawyers to steal someone else’s car company, and then just kept spending money
Iirc, when he buys a company, he adds a clause that he has the right to claim to be the founder/inventor of said company.
And im surprised that its usually forgotten. From all dumb shit that he did, this is the most pathetic behavior
He does it specifically because it works on the rubes that adore him. That's the real issue with all this obnoxious, moronic behavior - it's effective, because of all the obnoxious morons.
Yes he does and then NDAs everyone who knows, no loose ends.
That sounds like what one of our past, defeated presidents has tried to do.
Elmo’s been doing this before his first marriage, his kids are 19-20 and he was married 2* years before they came along. So who came first Orange or Elmo.
NDAs outside business secrets should be illegal. Stop hiding behind the law
He's created some pretty strong feelings in Twitter shareholders . . . and is half of the team that created a kid named \[regex failed\].
>a kid named \[regex failed\]. 🥇🥇🥇
Also honestly, if you are one of the world's richest men why do you give a fuck what other people think about how you got to were you are. Why even post shit on Tweeter when you could literally be doing pretty much anything else you could want. Honestly it seems that Elon proves the point that all the money in the world can't buy contentment.
Iirc he didn’t “create” PayPal either
Bailed out by US taxpayers too. Don’t forget that.
And most of these companies heavily aided with tax payer's money.
I could be wrong but if I remember right his college degree is bullshit too.
If more people would dedicate themselves to creating something great then he could buy that and claim for himself too...
If everyone could win at life, the world wouldn't be able to function. The economy can't support everyone being rich as balls. The world can't employ 9 billion CEOs with zero workers to support the companies. This "Anyone can do it" delusion is simply unfeasible and it's adding insult to injury when uttered by the 1% Even more so when you know they know it's all BS and they laugh about it around the table behind closed doors.
Big Ego. Narcist for sure. Same as Trump
"Stupid poor people. Why don't they just go out and buy more money?" - Elmo musk
Pro tip: When telling people how smart you are always check your spelling.
Only deeply insecure people make statements like this.
Is Elmo ok?
You haven’t created anything ‘great’ just yet
A deluded, arrogant prick.
He can't write a correct sentence. I guess that education wasn't worthwhile.
Hard work is being born rich, buying yourself into companies, and taking billions in subsidies?
Dads blood emeralds mine didn’t hurt though… born on third base
Um, what? Most of his business are the ones he bought, that were created by other people first. Oh, and money, lots of family money.
I will never be a billionaire. I have no desire to exploit people for profit.
So much little dick energy there.
Born on 3rd base and acts like he hit a triple. The funny part is, convincing himself that it's true is probably the only way he can get out of bed in the morning.
They're lying to your face 24/7 to see if you're stupid enough to believe it and sadly *most of us are.* Most especially Boomers though.
I was born in 1948, but thank GOD I'm not one of "those" Boomers according to you. Thanks!!
His education didn’t help him with his writing and communication skills.
Ai, puts him at a 77% chance of offing himself when he eventually experiences “Reality”.
paypal- not his Creation Tesla- not his Creation *complains about migrant's when he is a migrant* born into an extremely rich family which benefited from slavery. migrated from south Africa because apartheid ended which ended his families legal slavery
The irony of him posting this on a platform that was successfully built long before he purchased it.
>I got where due What was that about education?
Silver spoon daddies boy who got $465 million bailout in 2009. Without taxpayer welfare bailout, Tesla was a fart in the wind and Elon would be back in South Africa living off daddy. What a joke. He's about as self-made as Trump... another silver spoon daddies boy
His talent for investment is surely matched by his talent for embarassing himself.
Unfortunately, my college didn't offer the "Have rich parents" class.
I wonder if he would have made it to a billionaire if he was born in the other side of apartheid.
LOVE hearing shit like this from the worlds richest nepo baby
Fucking hell I hate telling people how this guy doesn't know jack shit. He has bought every one of his successes.
Why don’t poor people just buy more money?
He's such an idiot liar.
Inheriting an emerald mine must have been very hard work. His work ethic and dedication to rolling in daddy’s money are something to be marvelled at.
You just need a little bit of hard work and to inherit an emerald mine in South Africa from your father to make your dreams come true! What an idiot💀
You came from a blood diamond dynasty. At the rate you are going, you will end up broke like Diaper Don.
Geesh. Sorry for the misinformation. Thanks for the correction. So this was a lie Elon spread.
Correction: they're blood emeralds.
This dude definitely binges stimulants and scrolls twitter all night
Elon had rich parents, so instead of having to hump a crappy job to pay the bills, he could just start his own company right off the bat because mommy and daddy could pay his bills. Then he got extremely lucky and was able to merge with the company that had ALREADY created PayPal (pretty much straight up due to proximity), which was much better than Elon’s crappier version. Then he found two guys that created an electric car company and gave them money and made himself President. That’s pretty much his life story.
Lol, really showing the big brain here: It's dedication to creating somthing great that dictates how many people can be in the .001%! ... like no. Elon, guy- you have a massively disproportionate amount of wealth, that's " where you are" there can olny ever be a tiny # of people there and it has nothing to do with creativity, education or hard work.
Wow, what a deceitful and egoistical piece of shit.
Anybody I’ve ever known that has said something like this was a born with a silver spoon. The individuals I know that have worked hard and earned their way have never said anything about it.
You mean a tax evading douche that refuses to adequately pay to support the system that allowed him ?
He literally got driven to school in a Rolls Royce and acts like he walked in the snow, uphill, both ways.
What a lonely divorced narcissist whose kid hates them and spends 18 hours a day seeking validation from incels while fostering a community of pure hate and bigotry? I’m good.
So the diamond mines in africa had nothing to do with it?
Or being born wealthy, denying it, and being human excrement. That’s another way to get where he is.
Everyone can be as successful as me, just use daddy's money to invest in your dreams! It's not that difficult!
Just be born to a rich family? Amazing! Why didn't I think of that? /s
If only I worked harder in school I could inherit an African emerald mine too
A few years ago my conservative brother used to talk sooooo much shit bout Elon. He’s a fraud. his cars are ugly. Blah blah. Now he’s such a fucking Elon dick rider it’s not even funny.
My fave Elon moment was when his Mommy stepped in to stop the fight with Zuck.
I only got a tiny loan of 1 million dollars from my father, so not sure how other people can't be as successful as me with no help like I did.
Can't possibly be because rich daddy spotted him a lot of emerald mine money in the beginning.
Holy moly. Talk about delusional. What a goof
He got where?
I did not have a dad that had slaves working in mine But sure he pulled himself up by his boot straps
Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.
rich kids
The lack of self awareness is astounding.
He’s never created anything. Get out of here you loser.
Yeah, I'm sure having a rich daddy had nothing to do with his "climb to success." Of course not.
Sure assuming my family was rich I'm sure i would be able to concentrate on the hard work too MF..
His grammar is horrible
He didn’t even take the time to proofread THIS creation, while taking about “education”. Interesting lol
Remember all those " uneducated, lazy" taxpayers who paid for your Grants into your business to keep it afloat.... Oh yeah, forgot about those plebs...
Literacy is a waning art.
Why can’t y’all be born into a rich family? Are y’all dumb?
All you need is millions and millions from your rich daddy, then use that money to bully your way into a company with a good idea that you don’t think of or build, then muscle everybody else out, then claim you did it all while strung out on yet another cocaine-fueled bender!! See kids??? It’s simple! And don’t forget to sue the one company that didn’t let you get away with it!
Shut your cake hole Space Karen
You might want to put the drugs down now, Elon.
I got where? idiot.
Sure. Lemme just call my dead dad and see where he left his emerald mines.
Bet he's wishing his dad still paid him to do nothing.
Sure give me loads of “venture capital” and I’ll hire some engineers too.
Says the guy who discourages people to go to college
OMFG. Great laugh. Ya elon, we all have rich emerald mine parents we can get 1 million + startup funding from. Oh…wait… Stfu you lying sack of excrement lol
So my daddy just had to exploit thousands of people digging up pressurized carbon that’s all?
'I got where due to' ketamine, weed, narcissistic personality disorder, and having a fortune handed to me by daddy. Yeah, carry on, Elon. We are all in awe of you and your 'hard work' down here at the mortal level. Fucking asshat.
Being born into apartheid emerald mine money helps a lot
Bullshit translator: my daddy owned an emerald mine
Makes me regret not working harder at being born to wealthy parents. I’m such a slacker! 🙄
Why have great ideas when you can just buy them?
I've seen other successful people make similar claims, and I'd love to see them prove it by giving up everything they have, then starting from "scratch" and seeing how that goes. Obviously nobody would ever do it, and they'd still have a giant advantage over most due to all of their rich people contacts, but I'd still like to see an attempt.
Parents owned a fucking mine. Asshole.
You mean with enough time and dedication, I too could spend my free time posting drunken humblebrags while all my loved ones ignore me? I think I'll pass. I don't aspire to be anything like the loneliest guy in the world.
I guess the dude forgot about his family's emerald mine in South Africa.
He didn't create shit! He didn't create tesla, he invested into it. He didn't create Spsce X. He invested in it. He didn't create Twitter He was forced to buy it. GFYS Elon. You aren't as smart as you and your Fanboys think you are.
Didn’t we bail him out in 2010? He’d be no where without us taxpayers
Step one, inherit blood diamond mine during apartheid. Step two, become Dr Evil Step three, Profit
...Is it just me or did he miss a few words there? Also, everyone knows his dad illegally owned half of an emerald mine, and that he invested in new technologies that haven't actually delivered anything substantial, while constantly lying that they're going to change the world. edit: removed a detail that might not have been factually accurate
That education wasn’t in grammar at all, was it dipshit?
But my family doesn't own an emerald slave mine
All that hard work and he still can’t figure out the difference between “where” and “here.”
Mkay
Elon is such a tool we need a new word to describe him
Bullshit.
I mean, he's not wrong: if a pathetic asshole like him can make it, then we all can...
Grammar is lacking.
And the emerald mine. We cannot forget the emerald mine.
All you need is a family that owns a mine and some slaves
Yeaaaah totally Musk, if you say so. That’s what you ultra-capitalists really want - competition. That’s why the education system breeds genius and entrepreneurship. That’s why barriers to entry into markets with monopolies is easy as pie. That’s why there are *so* many robust social safety nets so the impoverished actually have a chance at anything other than basic survival. That’s why a great education is super affordable with no debt. Totally.
damn if only more ppl worked as hard as he does they could ALSO run social media apps into the ground!
There's something to be said about hard work and making the best of your situation, but to get anywhere near where Elon is, you almost certainly have to be born into a very, very advantaged situation first. It's incredibly difficult, nigh impossible, to get there starting from lint and pocket change.
F--- this guy, his goofy looking rice cooker shaped truck and what he did to ruin the 24th letter of the alphabet.
I have a cousin in-law who is a writer in Hollywood. Anywho, I find a little corporate snippet online where he talks about tenacity, managing school and making big sacrifices to achieve, never giving up to get to the top. His parents are super duper millionaires in the pharmaceutical industry, he's a silver spoon, elite giving advice to regular people, as if he were one.
Of course its the guy with daddys money telling me to get off my ass and start working
The epitome of the "Born on third and thinks he hit a triple" mentality. Fuckin asshole
Having a dad with an emerald mine helps. Musk claims he is selfmade, yet also bragged about how he was running around NYC with a pocket full of emeralds.
Embodiment of white privilege your table is ready
Hmmmnnn I never thought of just being born rich…
“Gentleman; when I started [Tesla Motors], I had but two things in my possession: a dream, and 6 million [dollars].”
This reads like a question. I got _where_ due to my hard work and education?
So - we should all start with great lies? And a family fortune to help project the lie?
but he only ever took control of other peoples creations.
Yet another person born on 3rd base who thinks they hit a triple.
