Elon Musk was born on third base but tells everyone he hit a triple.

His parents literally owned slaves.

He was a white kid in South Africa. Even if he was dirt poor and born into a broken home, in he was still further ahead than most of the country. Born at least on first or second base.

He had an upbringing of privilege. Mental and physical healthcare, plenty of food, fancy trips and parties, tutors and tuition, as much money as he wanted to start businesses; dude never wanted for anything. Elon being self made is an absolute lie.

My man, Lonnie, was born on third base and managed to kick the ball into the catcher's mitt when he tried to slide into home base.
