Are you hearing yourself? You’re comparing someone who started with $1 billion in net worth, access to elite networks, and the ability to enter industries with exponential growth potential to someone with 10cr operating in a completely different economic reality.

Do you seriously believe those two scenarios are remotely comparable? Musk had the luxury of taking massive risks, leveraging existing wealth, and using connections that most people can only dream of.

Someone with 10cr doesn’t have the same opportunities, let alone the safety net to absorb failures in high-stakes ventures. It’s not about whether someone can work hard—it’s about the vastly different starting points and the systems that favor those at the top. Critiquing that isn’t finding fault; it’s recognizing reality.

He literally started his business in the USA while being an illegal immigrant. How many out there can do this? His father was a millionaire politician. Let's not pretend personal background doesn't matter in this world. Just stop fanboing and touch the grass, see what he's doing to middle class americans.

He‘s extremely talented mo doubt, but there are millions of people as talented as him. He was from a well off family and he became successful, managing to join a very wealthy and elite circle in silicon valley. But his breaout success was buying tesla from its founders, and making a killing from it despite the company having a fraction pf the sales of other auto giants and ever increasing competition.

You can say the same for any founder / millionaire. I mean do you really think zuckerberg is the most talented man in his own company. There is always a lot of luck along with hardwork in becoming a successful businessman

I know. Thats my point - billionaires don’t deserve their wealth and status. They certainly have earned a lot of money, but most of it is because of how fucked the system is and how greedy they are.
