Dangote Is NOT The Richest Man In Africa. The Richest Man In Africa Is Elon Musk by PSconsultinga: 11:05pm On Jul 21, 2020 |
Introducing: Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and the fifth richest man in the world, with a net worth of $74 billion according to Forbes (almost 10 times the net worth of Aliko Dangote). He holds South African, Canadian and American citizenships. He was born in Pretoria, South Africa to a South African father and a Canadian mother. He was raised in Pretoria, before leaving for the United States of America for higher education. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk Elon Musk’s meteoric rise up the Forbes Billionaire List has continued this month, as he’s ascended past luminaries such as Warren Buffett and Steve Ballmer. As of Monday afternoon, Musk’s net worth surpassed $74 billion, meaning he is now the fifth-richest person on the planet. Musk first debuted on Forbes’ 400 Wealthiest Americans List in 2012 in 190th place with a net worth of $2.4 billion. On January 1 this year, he was the 37th richest person on earth. However, Tesla’s sudden and spectacular rise has propelled him near the very top of the world’s wealthiest humans. Tesla’s surge has confounded some investors, considering it’s far smaller than its competitors and only recently began to log quarterly profits. Tesla produced 103,000 vehicles in the first quarter; Toyota produced 2.4 million vehicles during that same period. In 2019, American automakers General Motors and Ford generated ten times more sales than Tesla. Late last month, analysts from Morgan Stanley warned that Tesla stock, which was trading at roughly $1,000 per share at that time, was “grossly overvalued and set to plunge.” Earlier this month, Musk said that Tesla would produce virtually fully autonomous self-driving vehicles by the end of 2020, a claim that was met with skepticism by an auto industry accustomed to a heaping of hype from Musk on the capabilities of self-driving technology. Musk has not sold shares of Tesla since 2010. https://www.forbes.com/sites/tommybeer/2020/07/20/elon-musk-now-among-the-five-richest-in-the-world/amp/

tutudesz: Because he is African. His dad is South African and he was born in Pretoria, South African. Because his business is mostly based in the US doesn't make him less African. In fact, he runs a multinational business empire with footprints across the world. The fact is the fact. Besides, you can't be the fifth richest person in the world by selling only in Africa. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Kolomental Nigerian, must you always put your country and people beneath other people and places.? Where is the sense in diminishing and negating the fact that your fellow Nigerian is the rishest man in Africa? Are you smarter and more knowledgable than the people and the international publications that proclaimed Dangote as the richest man in Africa? Be proud of you own country and fellow Nigerians. 13 Likes 1 Share |

See these type of threads is why some guys I know prefer twitter to NL. Op Dangote is regarded by Forbes as the richest man in Africa because he resides in Africa. His business roots stem from Africa and is headquartered in Africa. Elon Musk on the other hand doesn’t reside in Africa, his business origins are not in Africa and his wealth is not from Africa.

Elon Musk is an American. What must people don't fully appreciate is that self identification is paramount and ; 'We are who we say we are'. Many Americans have European,African, Arab or Amerindian ancestries but are nevertheless, proud Americans. The Late Steve Job of Apple had an Arab father but Jobs didn't identify as an Arab but an American. PSconsultinga: 1 Like |

He's not African, not based in Africa, non of his business is based in any African country. One can't blame him for long on it cos if he starts his business in any African country he couldn't have rise to that level. |
