Envy? Interesting accusation to throw out there. It is more believable that Bill Gates isn't really in the news much these days, but Elon is.

  Just look at Bill and listen to him speak... that guy ain't talking his way into any romantic adventures if he weren't a gazillionaire. Elon's hair plugs aside, at least he's got a personality and isn't the ugliest guy in tech. So yeah, I'm coming from it totally from vanity but we're all human right? You couldn't pay me to be Bill Gates but I'd trade lives with Elon, no doubt.

    Heh, I wouldn't take either one's life, for any amount of money. Now, if I could have 0.1% of either of their money and quietly continue to live as I do now, sign me up!

    > Just look at Bill and listen to him speak... that guy ain't talking his way into any romantic adventures if he weren't a gazillionaire. Yeah, Musk is a real charmer, with his stutter, he's worse than Biden and he's 35 years younger than him. Also behind the scenes Bill Gates has a personality and then some. More F-bombs were dropped in Microsoft board meetings than Stratton Oakmont's . You have to read Paul Allen's 2011 book: Idea Man. Of course an elder statesman can't go on live tv and pull this sort of antics. Very much like Bellichick and Brady didn't go on TV to pull such antics. Doesn't mean that they (like Gates, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods) don't have a personality or don't get laid. Musk on the other hand loves to wear his WWE Vince McMahon costume and say controversial stuff, while stuttering.
