You seem pretty triggered. Do you think Musk's dad is lying? Or do you think he made some money through a handshake deal in the emerald trade? I never said there was a mine, though even that is splitting hairs since Elon's dad quite plainly says he made money doing this but it just wasn't technically a mine. Also I grew up on the poorer side myself (though I would not claim to have grown up poor like Musk has in the past) and I can say my family did not go on international flights where they'd even be able to meet these types of people, especially not ones they were taking to sell an airplane. Musk was not poor, but he is a serial liar so that's not surprising.

I also notice this is the one thing you picked out as opposed to addressing the far more concerning and more difficult to address issues I raised in my original post which to be honest makes it feel from my perspective more like you're reflexively defending Musk than anything else
