Man, learn something about someone before you go worshipping someone.

X was bought by paypal, but was far from “integral.” It was just its largest competitor for Confinidy at the time because Musk was washing it in money he made from a previous venture. Musk was a actually briefly the CEO of PayPal, but his decisions were so poor that he was forced out.. He still retained enough shares of paypal to hit it big time, which is when he poured all hia money into a long shot bet called Tesla, which he used goverment funds and seed capitol from his rich friends to keep alive until it turned an actual profit a decade later.

Dude grew up with emerald mine money, then just kept taking outlandish risks because he had an emerald mine to keep his ass housed and fed, and yeah, eventually hit it big. Super duper.

Turns out that if you have a wealthy life always secured at hands, you too could gamble big and make even more money. Thats how capitalism is deisgned to work. Capital makes more capital.

The fact that you’re suckered in bu the worlds best gambler play a game that had no negative stakes for him is sad as fuck man. Be proud of someone who overcame actual adversity for fucks sake
