Nope. Just some guy who happens to be Elon's dad making these 'claims' but other than that single person's 'claims' nothing. /s
No, this is an unverified meme that refuses to die because "rich people bad".
He said that there's no proof the mine ever existed. He also said that his parents' wealth didn't help him that much. Which is why he also never bothered much about the mine.
I'm going on memory here, from what I read/heard online. I think people just want to write him off, tbh.
given elmu's long, strong history of dishonest public statements, "he said" should be considered evidence that the opposite is true, if anything
He seems to have been incredibly honest thus far including on his own failures.
