Fair. And I think in fact most people probably would agree with you as a hypothetical. Where I think we would disagree is whether we think an economic system that produces 10x the Musks is an economic system that could also eliminate homelessness. Would the political leaders in such a system want to spend money eliminating homelessness, or spend money on the Musks who e.g. finance their elections, or provide them with well paying jobs?
