Maybe do some basic fact checking? Thank you for affirming the stereotype.

> Here's a summary of our findings: We located reporting from as far back as 2009 and 2014 that said when Elon Musk ("Elon" herefafter) was a child in South Africa in the 1980s, his father ("Errol" hereafter) at some point owned "a stake in an emerald mine" near Lake Tanganyika in Zambia, not South Africa. Beyond that, we were unable to find any evidence that showed money generated from his father's involvement in the mine helped Elon build his wealth in North America.

I'll add that it's also well known that while Elon's father was certainly well off compared to the average population in South Africa, they were not fabulously rich. They were also anti-apartheid. His father's personal income was primarily from being an engineer, not a mine owner.
