Why, what does middle class mean in North America? In Europe even someone like Elon Musk would be considered middle class (well quite far upper middle class) because upper class is the preserve of the nobility. In European countries without nobilities we just never refer to an upper class at all, with middle class effectively the pinnacle.

Whatever, no. You are not considered middle class when you're a billionaire sorry, not in europe or anywhere else in the world, never has been never will be

Except if you're billionaire in zimbawe dollar but that doesn't count

It has nothing to do with money. Richard Branson is a British billionaire but is still a commoner and therefore not upper class. Upper class means nobility, you cannot be both a commoner and upper class.

So you are "middle class" then, spare some shekels?

Pfff whatever

Either you're a rich kid who knows nothing about the middle class and naively think you're part of it, or you're profoundly retarded. Now maybe you live on a different planet, or maybe you're are just a britbong. You tell me.

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/middle+class

The socioeconomic class between the working class and the upper class, usually including professionals, highly skilled laborers, and lower and middle management.

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/upper+class

The highest socioeconomic class in a society.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_class#Lower_class

Lower class (occasionally described as working class) are those employed in low-paying wage jobs with very little economic security. The term "lower class" also refers to persons with low income.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_class#Middle_class

The middle class is the most contested of the three categories, the broad group of people in contemporary society who fall socio-economically between the lower and upper classes.[31] One example of the contest of this term is that in the United States "middle class" is applied very broadly and includes people who would elsewhere be considered working class. Middle-class workers are sometimes called "white-collar workers".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_class#Upper_class

The upper class[27] is the social class composed of those who are rich, well-born, powerful, or a combination of those. They usually wield the greatest political power. In some countries, wealth alone is sufficient to allow entry into the upper class. In others, only people who are born or marry into certain aristocratic bloodlines are considered members of the upper class and those who gain great wealth through commercial activity are looked down upon by the aristocracy as nouveau riche.

In the United Kingdom, for example, the upper classes are the aristocracy and royalty, with wealth playing a less important role in class status. Many aristocratic peerages or titles have seats attached to them, with the holder of the title (e.g. Earl of Bristol) and his family being the custodians of the house, but not the owners. Many of these require high expenditures, so wealth is typically needed. Many aristocratic peerages and their homes are parts of estates, owned and run by the title holder with moneys generated by the land, rents or other sources of wealth. However, in the United States where there is no aristocracy or royalty, the upper class status belongs to the extremely wealthy, the so-called "super-rich", though there is some tendency even in the United States for those with old family wealth to look down on those who have earned their money in business, the struggle between new money and old money.

The upper class is generally contained within the richest one or two percent of the population. Members of the upper class are often born into it and are distinguished by immense wealth which is passed from generation to generation in the form of estates.[29] Based on some new social and political theories upper class consists of the most wealthy decile group in society which holds nearly 87% of the whole society's wealth.[30]

Elon Musk is not British so it is a moot point. Considering his family line is scrubbed means he probably is of the line. Elon is a jewish name and he is a CIA puppet which is how he got rich.

No. Thinking that only Nobility are running or the upper class is why your country fails at success.
