Inherited daddy's emerald mine fortune. Much in common with the simpleton Trump. Neither would last five minutes making their own money.

Would that be his Daddy who is still alive and reportedly gave Elon just 28K to start his software business (although Elon denies he ever gave him anything)?Originally Posted by Steve Miller

I can spot a c*** a mile off, and both fit the criteria, but come on... Musk knows the American system and how to exploit it as well as anyone. Take away his father's support and he'd have found a way to raise the cash for his ventures. The only unknown is whether they'd have succeeded if the 'Daddy safety net' wasn't there to provide endless chances, and that impacted their belligerent mindset. Both are the 'right' balance of shameless, charismatic, ruthless, and driven to make it in a country like the US, and Musk has the added Rain Man high-functioning brain feature.
