Abeg pardon my ignorance...

Why is Elon Musk not regarded as the richest man in Africa even though he was born in South Africa?

His net worth is US$20.8B while that of Dangote is US$13.2B.

Seems like alot of people don't know him.

For those that don't know him: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/elon_musk

Elon Musk is presently a US citizen, hence cannot be classified as Africa's richest. He's even based in California presently since 2002

Y'all need to read Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future by Ashlee Vance. The future belongs to him
