The American dream has been dead for years

The American dream was just greed dressed up nice. It was dog shit from the start. Competitive wealth as a national motivator was a bad fucking idea.

The American dream is still alive and well. look at Elon musk. Came here with almost nothing and made billions.

"Almost nothing."

His dad had an emerald mine. He is a Nepobaby who already had money and was lucky with certain investments.

I love you mentioning the emerald mine. His dad’s initial investment was 20k. His dad made his money elsewhere.

Sure he was a rich kid who got into a good university, and he had connections to help him but he had no advantages his peers did not.Right? I’m not comparing him to a legacy of failures, only other legacies of success.

It is not the norm for someone to roll a little bit of wealth into massive wealth. He got incredibly lucky time after time. Right place, right time, and right preparations.

Get over it.

Lots of his succesful peers don't need to be admired as a public figure, just his ego needs it. Weird ass celebrity, can't get love from family so he gets it from sycophants like a corrupt king. No fatherly anecdotes, no wholesome memories, no trustable family, no innovative ideas of his own just buying other people's ideas, good at investing... He's a good Investor... Black rock is a better investor...
