    Sometimes I feel like people like Elon Musk validate the existence of Billionaires. They make it easy to go, "Well, I'd do the same if I was in charge, but I'm not in charge. It's just bad luck that they got to be in charge instead of someone who deserves it." Let's be honest, we all remember the early 2010s, when billionaires got much better press than they do now. We all remember stories about Bill Gates or Warren Buffet giving loads of money to charity, or Oprah doing big giveaways on her show. We all think that if Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos gave away their money and treated their employees like people, they'd deserve their wealth. But would they? Does anyone deserve to have the power to essentially warp reality? I want the power to undo reality and shape it to my own will. Maybe that's something to keep in mind the next time you want to give someone unlimited power over your own existence.
