Don't get the wrong idea either, I'm not just "defending celebrities". You're spending a lot of time "defending" Musk
just saying lol
I'm not even really disagreeing with your points. There's way better examples for the purposes of this thread than Musk granted, and I'm not even a "hater" of Musk so don't feel the need to learn in hard with defences. I own one of his company's cars, I'm financially invested in that same company's stock mainly because of the success it has had due to Musk (and others of course) and the direction it is headed in under his leadership. Can't say the same for the whole Twitter mess but that's another story for another thread in OT
However, while I agree he didn't come from a large amount of wealth, he didn't grow up particularly poor either, that's all I'm really saying. My parents certainly didn't have cash laying around to give me $30k back then or own a plane etc etc.
Anyway - we seem to have got sidetracked on Musk specifically lol. Celebs in general do not need any defence from regular Joe's like 99% of the world's population

Fair enough, but, I'm not defending him simply because he's a celebrity. I'm defending him because I see him being misrepresented.
I'm the kind of guy that would defend someone I didn't like, if I saw them being misrepresented with false information. Like Andrew Tate for example. I'm not particularly a fan of the guy, but if I see someone making false claims about him, I'm likely to correct the claims being made.

I would assume that the plane that Elon Musk's Dad had was an older plane that was owned by his parents (as Elon's grandparents were both pilots who adventured in seek of lost cities), that he had inherited when they passed on, most likely a small prop plane with very limited capacity used only by Elon's grandparents, resembling something along the lines of the small prop plane that Indiana Jones used to escape from the natives in. It wasn't some luxury private jet worth millions of dollars. It was just an old, run of the mill, prop plane from the mid 1940's, probably something like a Cessna. I think your imagination might be exaggerating what kind plane he actually had, and the value of it.
