So it was not Elon Musk that said “My daughter will not marry a poor man”?
A statement ("my daughter will not marry a poor man") allegedly given by Elon Musk is going viral on Internet where the Tesla CEO claimed his daughter can never marry a person who does not have the ability to create wealth. What a coincidence is that the same message is viral in the name of Bill Gates as well.
In the backdrop of these developments, a long statement allegedly given by Musk is going viral on Internet, in which he apparently explains why his daughter "can't marry a poor man". The statement includes some generic finance-related quotes such as "Wealth is the ability to create wealth", "90% of lottery millionaires become poor again after 5 years" and "Wealth is a state of mind".
Interestingly, the same message is spreading in the name of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
Turns out neither Musk nor Gates has made such a statement. Financial quotes borrowed from various videos and articles were stitched together and falsely attributed to them.
Searching the Internet, we did not find a single mainstream news report attributing a viral statement to Musk or Gates. If they made such a statement, it would definitely be covered in the media.
In fact, Forbes has attributed the quote "Wealth is a state of mind" to British poet Edward Young.
Another excerpt from the viral post is "90% of lottery millionaires will be poor again in five years." A similar statement was found in the Washington Post report that "about 70% of people who win the lottery or suffer a major storm will go bankrupt within a few years." Here, the data belongs to the US-based National Financial Education Fund.
Last year, he and his then-girlfriend Grimes welcomed a baby boy whom they named X Æ A-Xii. Musk's first child Nevada Alexander had died in 2002 due to a sudden infant death syndrome.
Gates, on the other hand, has two daughters (Jennifer and Phoebe) and one son (Rory). Jenifer recently got married to 30-year-old equestrian Nayel Nassar.
