I don’t feel the need to prove musk was born into wealth. Just look up his family and his education. The advantages of being able to take risks with other people’s money is insurmountable. Of the millions in America only fractions get access to the education musk had, connections he made, and contacts he most likely inherented. $28,000 doesn’t sound like much compared to the billions he now hoards but that is a pipe dream for most Americans and the ability to bet that on a business without fear of losing it all is the definition of privilege. Say Zip2 failed, do you honestly think he would never recover and go on to make another bet elsewhere? That’s privilage.
This article on the company describes his funding sources, with citations for each claim.
Can you prove the contrary, that he was “born into wealth?”

I hardly need to point out the double standard here.
Just read your own Wikipedia article bruh
The references there talk about them having tens of thousands of dollars to spend on things. That matches with what I linked above.
I say they’re wealthy. Wiki says their wealthy. What exactly are you contesting?
