What do you disagree with?

1. A safe would hold less than $2M.

2. Someone bragging about less than $2 million in assets is not unbelievably rich.

3. People talk about Musk in a way that suggests his parents were extremely rich.





> What do you disagree with?

His parents are telling you they were very wealthy and you somehow managed to come to the conclusion that Elon grew up poor.

I guarantee you the median American isn't so wealthy their safes are overflowing with cash.


Over $2 million in assets about the time Musk was matriculating would have put in the top 0.1%, e.g. 1 in 1000. That would be fairly rich to me

Not 2 million assets. 2 million cash.
