Original Note:
The emerald mine rumors at the time of this post were that Elon's wealth is derived from a South African apartheid emerald mine. Elon's father's small stake in a mine in Zambia during Elon's childhood isn't disputed. https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/11/17/elon-musk-emerald-mine/ Also, Elon's interview was with Forbes, not AskMen. https://web.archive.org/web/20140901222916/https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimclash/2014/07/28/elon-musk-tells-me-his-secret-of-success-hint-it-aint-about-the-money/
