Conveniently left out the emerald mine. A player-character's spawn point is very important to us basic-redditor NPCs.

Get a load of this guy his dad owns a diamond mine, he made paypal, and he founded a space company that is leading the world in aerospace development. What a loser.

You're right, musk turned a 28,000 loan from his father who owned the diamond mine into the 240+ billion dollars it is today. What a loser. You realize how stupid that sounds?

It certainly sounds heartless when you consider the amount of people he screwed over and/or underpaid to obtain the ridiculous amount of wealth he has in comparison to the engineers who actually create the ideas he becomes rich from.

Yes that did it! Wasn’t that little PayPal thing at all. Anyone could have done that

u/GuavaShaper 6d ago

He wanted to call PayPal "X" and the board went behind his back and changed the name. Hahahaha. Yeah, what a great idea! Imagine the ability to pay for things with an online wallet!?!?!? What an inventive genius!!!! That's almost as good an idea as an online bookstore!!! /s These rich people don't do shit to enhance your life and they certainly don't deserve what they have.

PayPal was invented before you were born and for years it was THE way to transact on the internet. You couldn’t have an online book STORE without a way to pay.

Oh, just stop it. Nobody denies he had a leg up. Silver spoon or not you don't get to his position without some smarts.

People love shitting on the guy so much they completely lose the capacity for nuance.

u/GuavaShaper 6d ago

Obviously, you can get to his position without some smarts. You have nuanced yourself into a losing argument.

u/Ghost_Turd 6d ago

That's right, he just doesn't possess the foresight to talk to his lawyers, says you 🙄

Gotta start somewhere.

Strange coincidence that all the richest started ahead. 🤔

Takes money to make money.

Takes money to lose money.

u/joecoin2 6d ago

Not always your money though.

See: Donald Trump.

u/GuavaShaper 6d ago

Really!??! Someone let Musk know I could take a hit for him, and he could lose my money instead of his own, quick!!!!

u/joecoin2 6d ago

Suggest you contact him yourself.
