Do you want Belters? Cause that's how you get Belters.

Can Elon be the first belter? 5.2B is less than he dropped for Xitter.

Elon is the epitome of an Inner. Holden may have been born in the well, but at least he thought of himself as a Belter and worked towards their interests. Elon would be no more of a Belter than Jules-Pierre Mao. Just because they leave the well doesn't mean they're a Belter

tl;dr: lol no way in hell
