Misdirected agression

[wiss19]

There are things you say that just expose how clueless you are about a topic. Have you ever seen where someone pulls out 40 billion dollars at once to buy a thing? How do you think he would have 40 billion in cash lying around? I don't even think any billionaire would pay for a thing worth 10 billion at once from his own money without looking for other investors. What world do you live in?

A net worth is all you are worth, not how much money you have in the bank. All your assets minus your liabilities is your net worth. It doesn't mean the money you have in the bank. Except you're a drug deal syndicate or another criminal organization, there no body that should have 40 billion in cash lying around. The fact that a person is worth one trillion doesn't mean that worth is in money, but it's his assets. His shares and every other asset.

I do, they did not pay with cash, they paid with stock, or they paid with loan, not with others money that they went around begging. And that is exactly what I am talking about, he has networth, not money, that is literally what I have been saying all along. Networth means nothing, tomorrow Spacex could worth 1% of its current value, there is no guarantee, how would we know? Maybe he goes mad and crazy and does something stupid and suddenly he worths nothing? How could you guarantee that?

Walmart for example has a family behind it, they can all go mad, and Walmart will still be Walmart, or Warren Buffet could die today, and Berkshire still has that money and won't go down that much for too long (may go down a bit on his death for emotional reasons but will recover).

Elon does not have that, all he has is worth his "super stardom", the moment he dies, none of this worths anything, not tesla, not Spacex, because he is the marketing, not the company, him. Space even more so than tesla, tesla could still survive, but Spacex won't. So his networht in theory is a lot, but he worths nothing IMO.

Most billionaires are famous for being private and "not involved?"  Im sorry.  I dont believe this for a second.  Instead, they have a better PR strategy and do not need to continuously tweet about their every thought or opinion, because they are too busy using their powers and money to buy politicians, fund super PACs, and change tax law behind the closed doors.   The only difference between this guy and his peers is they do not need a constant stream of validation from the internet when they lobby.

It's very important to knows the difference between public visibility and actual influence for every business personality. In our societies a lot of rich people have very low public appearance but it's not means that they're not involved in politics or in policy making. Influencing  prefers private meeting because for business social media and is not important. The main reason is  that people follow majority billionaires and learned from there social media accounts so there is a lot of difference between social media Compaign and physical understanding so the main issue is transparency. As we know influencing is not done on social media and people thoughts that how political power can change the dicsion and politics of ordinary public.

Since the news of Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire came out, I've been seeing a lot of reaction of twitter that I can't understand. Why are people angry with him? Some people are even asking why one man can have that much money while others don't have food to eat. Some are asking why one man can have that much money, and health care is not free, and so many other questions. Don't you people feel that is an entitlement mindset? He did not give birth to you, and he is not responsible for you, so why do people expect him to provide food for everybody and free health care? When has the world worked like that?

This is absorbed if you ask me. Because anyone who is saying that because Elon musk is a trillionier and is saying that he should have directed his money to helping the poor is just lazy.  And who told you that Elon musk owes anyone money what was they doin when Elon musk was working day and night with sleepless nights working to make due that he makes a earns meat. People should know that Elon musk was a migrant who Left South Africa and went to the united states to hustle.


The poor will continue to be poor because instead of directing, their anger to something productive so that they can build their wealth gradually. They are busy talking nonsense I don't see how these talks will change any thing.

People with such a mentality can't even share the little they have with those around them, but they want someone who set a goal and worked very hard to achieve it to share it with others, which is insane.

Elon has said it before that he wants to be the world's first trillionaire; when he was saying that and working towards achieving it, none of those pushing that narrative helped him to work it out, but they are busy with their keyboards now typing what they feel is right on X.

Such mentality really sucks, because if that should be the end goal of every hard-working individual, then they would feel less motivated to pursue their own goal because the people have set already their goals towards helping other people in need. We work to earn and survive, not to spoon feed the people and satisfy them.

Good thing Elon still made his own path towards the success he has right now. And its expected that after that, people will always have a lot to say.

The guy was playing DOGE for the majority of 2025. He had access to data from federal agencies. His firms have billions of dollars in government contracts. All the above by SpaceX, Tesla, and Neuralink. Turns out that Public Citizen literally had business relationships with more than 70% of the agencies that he was supposed to be "reforming". Next, 270,000 federal employees lost their jobs. And then five months later SpaceX goes public and suddenly he is worth 1.4 trillion. You do not see why people might have feelings about that sequence?

Why are people blaming a person for the lack of jobs and health care instead of blaming the government they elected into office to provide these things?

That is usually a good one to make. However, how do you deal with the billionaire who was literally in the government and making decisions? That is the part you keep skipping. His mind was not focused on business only. He would often enter a room where decisions that ruled a nation were made.

Some are asking why one man can have that much money, and health care is not free, and so many other questions. Don't you people feel that is an entitlement mindset?

Those are not asking Elon Musk to serve them a meal. They are responding to an amount of GDP that is being added to one person that is greater than the GDP of their entire country. The millionaires complaining part is actually the most interesting thing you mentioned. Even those who made it are not feeling comfortable. That should tell you something beyond "everyone's just entitled".

Nobody is demanding that he pay for the world's health care. People are asking why the system works like this. They are aiming at the wrong target maybe. Despite the sloppy delivery, though, the question under the question is valid.

Some people believe the government can tax the people and give back more in jobs then they have taken.   That's never going to work out, the government will always lose money collecting and also spending money and rarely manages to make net positive gain from what its spent bar maybe some hydro dam projects that have worked out but thats pretty unique.   The only path to enrichment  is cutting the spending not increasing it and hoping it'll benefit your section of society when it drags the whole nation down in a spiral feedback  effect.

I will not be surprised if someone like Elon Musk does charity and philanthropy in private because some people do not like to make how the help others public, they do their things undercover without trying to get attention and because they don't post it on social media many other persons see them and think that this person is stingy with their money and not trying to help any other person. Someone like Hello Marks must have helped even more persons than the people who are criticizing him can ever will.

I'm not even a fan of Elon Musk; I disagree with a lot of his views, but I just cannot understand these reactions. And it's not just from Americans. African, Europeans, and Asians are all saying the same thing. I've seen a lot of very dumb reactions, and I like to know why people feel this way. I've even seen millionaires complain about a person being a trillionaire. How does it make sense?

SUCCESS ATTRACTS CRITICISM.I have known only two people till this time by name who are rich. When I was a kid people used to talk about the richest man of the world bill gates and now the name has changed to Elon musk. Remember .If you see history of both. Both belonged to the middle class families and when they start up to make their dreams they became alone. When bil gates started Microsoft he didn't took salary for two years and worked with passion. Same was the case with Elon musk, he used to work part time after his college. And I have heard that he used to take shower in the gym and slept in the office because he didn't have any money at that time. They had grown on their own, critics ought to mind their own business.

I do not really like how people keep questioning those who are wealthy and how they should be that wanting for that person to take and provide employment for them, I believe everyone has a government and Government should be the one in charge to control and help her citizens by creating job opportunities for them than entirely depending on someone who is having sleepless night thinking about how he would be wealthy while those who doesn't like him or who are criticizing are still looking help and employment from him. In fact, the world is a free place where you can as well stumble your brain to make sure you are also wealthy as others, the main thing is become a problem solver then you would be needed across the globe with what you are doing. Elon Must do not owe anyone out there, he is doing his business by himself and not even support of any one out there or even the government so why would be that envying due how he has now clock the trillion gangue.

Other people have absolutely no right to demand that Elon Musk spend all his money on feeding the hungry. Because when he earned that money, he was struggling, and he wasn't forcibly extracting tribute from anyone; he was simply trying to be useful, which is how he got so much money. And I can understand the logic of all these dissatisfied people, because, for example, if I help my friends, they very rarely help me. But you always have to understand that you can't demand anything from others.
