didn't have the same incredibly wealthy background that someone like say Bezos started with.
Wut? I genuinely thought Bezos was born into poverty and was raised by his teenage single Mum! Are you sure you're not mixing him up with Bill Gates, who had a pretty solid financial helping hand from rich parents...

They all had money.
Bill Gates big win was his mum worked in Stanford(?) library/lab so he had unfettered access to a PC for weeks on end vs CS majors who had a couple hours a week.

In fairness to the Bezos family they do give a huge amount of money to charity.
Odd then that Jeff has turned out to be such a tight cunt despite making such vast wealth.

Jeff's maternal grandfather was Lawrence Preston Gise, a regional director of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) in Albuquerque.
Elon's father, Errol Musk, is a South African electromechanical engineer, pilot, sailor, consultant, and property developer, who was a half-owner of a Zambian emerald mine near Lake Tanganyika
Doesn't seem like either of them had to climb out of a gutter...

He's definitely full of shit and over estimates his knowledge, but he's hardly stupid.
He's been very successful and my understanding is he didn't have the same incredibly wealthy background that someone like say Bezos started with. Happy to be wrong about that though.
Not to over-nuance what are short forum posts but there are many types of "smart".
