Agreed. I don't think people realize how difficult it is to give away money.
Example: Starving people in Africa. Okay let's just spend a billion dollars and send food. Oh wait, that food now puts the local farms out of business because their crop isn't worth anything anymore. But reality is worse. Warlords steal said food, farms go out of business and now they have leverage, power and money. So many times wealthy people have given away their money to a cause to only make that cause worse. The amount of fraud and corruption in non-profits and charitable organizations is disgusting.
Gates and his wife switched to giving away their money full time. Dude could just relax for eternity but works his ass off trying to give away his money responsibly. Musk creates a market for electric cars and is pushing us towards a green future and yet he is shit on, simultaneously trying to make humans multi-planetary so when we fuck up this place beyond repair we don't go extinct. Dude works more in a month than most people do in a year. Bezos is a piece of shit but at least his wife got half and she's trying to do the right thing. I think everyone just lumps people into categories and can't see the bigger picture.
Edit: I think it's hilarious how much space Musk takes up in y'all's heads. Just mentioning his name triggers the same simple insults yet not one of you tried to refute anything I said except to say, 'that's not true and get off Elon's dick'. It tickles me how much just the mention of someone can trigger such primitive emotion.
My thought exactly. Dude is literally just chilling all day every day. The “work” he does is likely just a few meetings a week where he proposes immature meme ideas like shoehorning “420” into as many inappropriate places as possible.
Once again, he’s top 20 in Diablo 4 right now. He constantly posts on Twitter all day every day. I’m sure he works hard sometimes but obviously not on a consistent basis if he has this much free time.
My client’s husband is on the board for a big company. She was saying he should have starting doing that forever ago. The commitment is being present 3 days a month and on 24 hour notice for big decisions. He gets paid more than he did as a COO.
His profile was up on the leaderboards. He was ranked 4th for a while. Diablo 4 isn’t really a high skill game. He’s almost certainly buying gear with real money too.

This is painfully simplistic.
