Elon received a lot of money from his Father during his college years, and the very reason why he was in college in America is that he was bankrolled by a South African entrepreneur. Without this father he would be nowhere close to where he is.

Can’t you say the same about anyone who grows up upper middle class or above in the US? Paying for kids’ college is pretty standard. Many middle class families do it too.

There’s plenty to criticize Elon about, but this one’s a bit of a reach.

Note to readers: the claimed amount he received from his father is $115k split between him and his brother.
