    Was it given to him as a ‘you’re such a wealthy good boy oligarch’ gift by some dipshit dean? Or did he genuinely earn it?

    I’m actually asking. I have no idea.

    I ain’t a gambling man, but I know where I’d place my bets.

    Edit:

    I looked it up. Snopes says true, but man, is there a fuck ton of inconsistencies and a large donation to penn state. Headcanon is he sucked dick for it.

      University of Pennsylvania isn’t the same as Penn State. They’re different institutions FYI. (Not to detract from your point). Just wanted to throw that out there bcz other people are saying it was University of Pennsylvania.

      “Elon Musk earned a B.A. in physics and a B.S. in economics from the University of Pennsylvania. The degrees were awarded on May 19, 1997.” -Penn, 2019

      I don’t know much about higher education, but Bachelor of Arts in physics sounds like BS to me.

      If you’re paying that much to attend an elite educational institution you can be damn sure they’re not going to fail you. There’ll be extra targeted one on one tuition, special rewards for any improvement etc etc.

      Do really think Trump exerted himself at university? No, the system looks after it’s cash cows.
