Original Note:
Elon Musk has never owned an emerald mine. Elon's father, Errol Musk, owned part of an emerald mine in the 70s. It is estimated that he took home $400,000 in profit from the investment. https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/11/17/elon-musk-emerald-mine/ The largest amount of money Errol gave Elon was when he invested $20,000 into Zip2. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip2#:~:text=In%20Ashlee%20Vance's%20biography,of%20a%20later%20funding%20round.
