That’s true, but there are a lot of those people in the world, tens of thousands. Where are all they in the news? He seems different in some way, right? Do you know the name of the CEO of Hasbro or Ford or CocaCola? I bet they’re rich, I bet they grew up rich…

They’re smart enough to stay out of the spotlight and Elon isn’t.
Though Jim Farley, CEO of Ford, has a podcast. So perhaps not the best example.

So you think the main difference between Elon and other rich people is that other rich people keep a low profile?
So does that mean you think that other ultra wealthy people are just as influential (and damaging to the world) as Elon? Because I don’t doubt that the ultra wealthy are problematic in general, but I think Elon is worse, like in a big way. And he’s been changing a lot in the world for the last 20 years, like a lot more than literally anyone I can think of.
