We're not the ones who made him what he is. ~~Most of his money came from his family's emerald mines in Africa.~~ Correction: The emerald mine is just what made him rich in the first place.

Most of the money came from government either in subsidies, or defense contracts for Starlink; and tesla's inflated stock that is not based in reality.
