I remember back when I was a kid it was hard to convince people that wealth and success was not a matter of being better, smarter, or harder working - as we were told - but rather almost entirely a matter of luck. Thankfully, Elon Musk has shown many people the light that I could not. Thank you, Elon

Ahhh no no that's because they're in Africa and not America 😌
That's discriminatory! Actually it's because they have dark skin. As a native South african, Musk knows this. Fortunately, he was able to immigrate in 1988 before things went bad. You silly
Yup. It is long past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.
Billionaires are just people with uncontrolled hoarding disorder, but instead of hoarding cats, or junk cars, or magazines, they hoard money. If they hoarded anything else, the authorities would step in and clean up the place and get them medication, but because it's money, they get celebrated as successful businesspeople, and get loads of more government cash shoveled at them.
To be fair there is one personal trait that's really important to wealth and success, the willingness to walk over the bodies of your peers.
Zero empathy.
Too many people are still convinced that Elon's wealth is attained through his hardwork alone.
Yeah, although if Elon hasn't convinced them I can at least take solace in knowing there was probably no way to convince them anyways. Total lost causes
