>a large inheritance
"A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth puts on its shoes."
This lie is very trendy, but YSK that Elon Musk did not receive a large inheritance.
Until the age of 16 he was raised middle class supported by an Engineer salary, and then years later his father invested (ie not an "inheritance") $28k out of a $200k Zip2 round.
If that size of 'large inheritance' really made such an enormous difference, then 50% of HN would be billionaires by now!
Clearly there must be more going on in Elon's case.
