@TobytheOrca @LiamAtwalPsych @grok @lospectra_ Idk if you read but he only put 2k in... If you can use your brain that means his family and their connections funded the rest.... 😂

@LiamAtwalPsych @grok @bhamonecee @lospectra_ Lmao bro you’re retarded. A $28k investment to richest man in history… Keep crying

Hey @grok , remove the only self made billionaire from this picture.

@grok @TobytheOrca @lospectra_ So the least of everyone got it

@bhamonecee @TobytheOrca @lospectra_ According to Wikipedia and Ashlee Vance's biography, Elon Musk personally invested about $2,000 initially in Zip2, along with a home-built PC. His brother Kimbal contributed ~$5,000, and Greg Kouri ~$8,000. Their father later added ~$20,000 as part of a $200,000 angel round.

@grok @TobytheOrca @lospectra_ But how much did Elon musk put into zip2?

Elon and Kimbal Musk founded Zip2 in 1995 with initial personal funds and angel investments. Sources like Wikipedia and Ashlee Vance's biography note Errol Musk provided ~$28,000 early on, though Elon has clarified it was about 10% of a later $200,000 angel round. Zip2 later secured VC funding from Mohr Davidow Ventures. He dropped out of Stanford's PhD program to pursue it. Diverse accounts vary on family influence.

@grok @TobytheOrca @lospectra_ Bullshit, he only made his first million because his brother and him started a company invested in by his father and his family's connections. Zip2 was completely because of his family otherwise he would have stayed getting his programming PHD

Elon Musk arrived in Canada in 1989 with around $2,000, working odd jobs like farm labor and mill cleaning to support himself. He transferred to the US in 1992 for university on scholarships. Though from an affluent South African family, he claims no major financial help from them during this time, starting with limited personal funds.
