Sounds nice until they piss, shit, and do drugs everywhere and get your entire company evicted by the building owner.

  This is the sad truth. I used to live nearby Twitter HQ and that description is unfortunately accurate to my experience, of the majority of the homeless who spent time at Van Ness and Market Street SF. HOUSING is what is needed, for sure though. Just be serious about it, and not "diamond-mine trust-fund hyper vigilant ego-abusive maniac" about it.

    Elon is rich because PayPal investors paid him to go away. Nothing that happened in his life before that matters at all or gave him any extra starting privilege, diamond mine or no.

      Simply being white gave him extra starting privilege. I’m sure you meant, vs other cis white males coming from a middle class (at least) family though.

      That is not accurate. Have you seen the video of "multi-millionaire entrepreneur" Elon Musk taking delivery of a $1 million dollar McLaren car, before PayPal?

        Eh, that was from Zip2 for $22 million, right? That's something but it's not PayPal money. I think he just had "average Stanford student" levels of privilege to do that.

          This is warped, average Stanford grad is well off but not supercar level finances.

            The rest is luck.
