Musk Said His Father Never Owned an Emerald Mine (He Said the Opposite in a 2014 Interview)
One of Musk’s biggest annoyances over the years has been over people hounding him about his father’s shares in purported emerald mine. However, it was Musk himself who told Forbes about the mine in 2014, even though the billionaire denies its existence today. (For some reason, the article is no longer live on Forbes’ website but can be viewed via the Internet Archive.)
“I’d like to see a picture of this alleged emerald mine,” Musk told the BBC. “He never owned an emerald mine, this is total bullshit.”
