Well, considering his wealth, I'd say he's living an American dream to its fullest extent.

I never heard "born rich" as part of the American dream. The idea behind the American dream is that you COULD become as wealthy as Elon, starting from nothing. Not only is that not true for him, but that hasn't been true about any billionaire.

His wealth before coming to US is incomparable to his wealth today. If you start with a $1,000 today and for the American dream like he did, you'll be a multimillionaire.

His family ownes an emerald mine in South Africa. Where does that fall into the American dream?
