Having access to a &quot;Commodore VIC-29&quot; or other accoutrements of wealth doesn&#x27;t prevent one from having a rough upbringing. From the biography details, it seemed Elon Musk had to deal with with psychologically skewed family members in addition to making way in a backwards society bent on apartheid and violence. That can break a man. These resonate with me precisely because I&#x27;ve had to endure similar things. Not every part of the US is a safe haven. I&#x27;m blessed to have gotten where I am, but it&#x27;s not without scares and I&#x27;m sure Musk has his as well. Some parts of myth making actually brings out more of the truth in a story.
