Yeah, just talked to my wife about this. Imagine what good someone with Musks resources could do. Instead he chooses to go pull up the ladder behind him and making life more difficult for everyone
That’s the thing. That’s an oxymoron. One can’t have musks resources and be a good person. To get such resources, one has, by design, to be the kind of person who thrives in Capitalism. Evil.
There tends to be truth in that You do not get mega weathy without stealing the money from someone either legally or otherwise.
Not all wealthy people are total crap though. Then there are those that were not great in thier earning years and then try to patch it up with philanthropy later.
Philanthropy has always been a way for the wealthy to whitewash themselves of the evil that made them wealthy. It’s never designed to actually fix the things they broke and the lives they ruined. Look into it’s history from its start with the robber barons. Look how bill gates is giving millions in philanthropy and yet “somehow” grows still more wealthy and controls immense amounts of agricultural land. It’s another capitalist ploy.
And yet the American people vote for this. Hard to get IRV through. Hard to get election finance reform. Both parties complicit but MAGA is blatant about it.
Exactly. Having obscene wealth means he already went through a sorting out process which shows without a doubt that he has some kind of mental problem like NPD, psychopathy, or sociopathy. Normal people when they get a few million bucks will start spending more time with their families, pursuing their hobbies, etc.
This is what capitalism does by design. Resources accumulate upward until some entity forcibly redistributes it (government, populous revolution, etc). It is a system that always leads to the detriment of the many for the vanity and power of the few it deems “winners.”

Yes, both parties are complicit in the state of things. This is how elections (don’t) work.

If he was a good person he wouldn’t have the resources in the first place…
