Musk was CEO of PayPal and definitely has a deep background in programming. He made his initial fortune through writing video games and then another software startup called Zip2 (a forerunner of Map Quest and Google Maps).

Levchin was PayPal's CTO and is also deeply technical.

I thought he made his initial fortune by being the son of the owner of an emerald mine in Zambia[0]

I thought Musk was fired from both paypal and Zip2 for incompetence? Not something to brag about.

If you’re genuinely interested in the history, Jimmy Soni's new book, The Founders, is a great starting point.
