        The main thing sitting between me and being a billionaire is my conscience and moral values. I’m of the opinion that to become a billionaire you must necessarily have psychopathic tendencies.

        For example: No way I could stand up on stage and bullshit my way through a Cybertruck reveal knowing it’s all lies and unfinished ideas.

        I’m pro universal basic income and a 99% tax after something around a few mil of annual income. I’d generally advocate for a societal system where such wealth accumulation by an individual is impossible.

        “Lefties” like you make me sick to my stomach. You can only whine your jealous tears and complain about the housing market. You’re the reason everyone thinks the left are a bunch of idiot kids in colorful clothes. In a utopic communist society you’d be leeching off while whining about how everyone keeps working even though it’s clearly unnecessary.

      cool, I’ll go make a powerpoint, can you also give me the necessary:

      • parents with spare $600k+ (inflation-adjusted from 1994 when Amazon started) to give me to build a prototype
      • rich &/ or influential friends, from my family and my expensive education
      • expensive education
      • etc
