You weren't being charitable to Elon, you just either misread what was in the tweet or mistyped and claimed his dad invested $200k.

Median household income is $70k, so I'd expect you'd need to be upper middle class or quite good with money to loan $28k to your kids. I certainly won't argue that the Musks were poor, but there's a very big difference between "able to help their kids through college and loan $28k" and "silver spoon trust fund kids".
