Smart enough to be born an African emerald heir.
Being born with money doesn’t mean your good with money far more often kids who inherited their money do worse than those who are self man.
Sure, but even more often than that poor people stay poor. You mostly only get richer if you were rich before.
Yes life isn’t far and people get different lots in life but in the case of Elon he’s done something with what he was given and you have poor people who used their lot and hardship to make something of themselves. Wealth doesn’t start out of thin air someone had to be the first and someone competent had to carry on the torch.
You really have absolutely no idea about factual history, do you? Another failing of the public school system...
I don't know. This sounds like the propaganda they feed rich, private school kids.
Elaborate, there is nothing wrong in what I’m saying it’s the American dream. It’s why so many people fight to get into America and you don’t see many people leave.
I stand corrected. It's not just a failing of the public school system. You've completely dissociated from reality.
What’s there to say at this point other then just to say we can agree to disagree.
