How much wealth was he born into? I thought he got his first chunk of money co-founding PayPal, then took that and bought the Tesla prototype/company, which he then took and funded SpaceX?

Im not trying to claim he did it all himself or that he invented the Tesla model S (cause he didn't) but you don't just "accidentally" multiply wealth over and over again. Most people might get that lucky once, but if you continually grow your seed money to fund larger and larger projects, then you must know something about running a hardware manufacturing company. If it was this easy to be a moron and bumble your way into being a billionaire there wouldn't be thousands of failed businesses.

Clearly he has no idea how to run a social media network, but with people's inability to get off of a platform that continually fucks them over I doubt he will actually run X into the ground. He might ruin it for political discourse but it'll eventually become a cesspool of conservative rhetoric and then it'll be the next truth social.
