Nobody in the 0.001% (the "we" this troll identifies with) made it there through sheer will and determination. If you grew up in the slums you might make it out with a good, stable, comfortable life through good planning and will. But becoming rich enough to buy Twitter? To influence people on a global scale? You're not going to do that without the approval of the incumbents. And you are deluding yourself to think they are meritocratic. Consider how long it took -it is taking- for people with tattoos to not get written off as gang members or no lifes. Kindly refrain from assuming people's privilege and mentality. You don't know shit, sorry to say.

Bet you enjoy pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks, a company with more than 2x the market cap of Twitter and founded by a person who grew up in government subsidized housing. You’ve just moved the fencepost to a random percentile. WE could very much mean anyone who owns companies, or at the very least the non-working class who controls land, labor and capital, as opposed to being the labor and barely owning land nor capitalz

  >Bet you enjoy pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks Another assumption. >as opposed to being the labor and barely owning land nor capitalz What the fuck kind of misanthropic sociopath are you? Are you seriously implying that people who don't own land or capital are just dumb? Have you considered that they simply don't want to deal with the headache or that they don't want to commodity the work of other human beings like you? EDIT: You are closer to the slums than you are to Musk. You have no grasp of the magnitudes. $500k is nothing to them. It seems to me you're defending this reasoning because you think you are "we". You're not. You can't put satellites into space from out of your own pocket. I think someone coming from the mud can obtain their own capital and land. But that doesn't make them able to affect humanity on a global level. To someone who can, their power is nothing.
