absolutely not.  greg curry (his indian dad buddy) gave him access to the "angel investor" who invested in zip2 who was then sold to compaq who was briefly owned by an ibm subsidiaries at the time.  it's all fake competition anyway like microsoft and appel.  at some point microsoft was the biggest investor in appel to keep the only competitor protecting him from a monopoly class action alive.  after zip2 was sold for an absurdly exorbitant prices he went on to create x.com the exact same crap he's pushing right now with a canadian bankster for the banking mafia.  it failed so miserably the bankster couped him and left with all the x.com investors.  it's when elon went and merged x.com with thiel paypal to create the paypal mafia. (the one owning your white house)  well he was so hated they also couped him and forced him to leave, even going as far as paying him to do nothing.  it's when the fag lord stole tesla, started starlink (the sole benefactor of the "privatization of nasa technologies and space exploration").  like amazon or microsoft or lifelog(oops facebook) before him they have special relation with the government from the start because they're all dod projects to begin with.  his dad is a fuck up that lost 3/4 of it's money before elon even tried to flee south africa to go to canada.
