Name me a billionaire that doesnt have a group of haters.
Warren Buffet is generally loved, but he did earn his wealth in ways that would be extremely illegal to do today; and his investment strategy today has more to do with investing in monopolies or businesses that dont actually do anything like insurance.
The billionaires who arent hated are only that way because they gave away their wealth; so by not being a billionaire anymore. Bill gates will have to give away all his wealth in order to become loved. His genuinely good initiatives that improve the health of the world in meaningful ways is never going to be enough.
Elon on the otherhand is an idea guy. He looks at the year 2100 and asks himself, what will be different? Colony on mars? Fine i'll be the one to do it. Only making things worse.
What i hope is elon follows through with his automation. He might be able to pull through enough automation that people wont have to work and we go back to making beautiful things.
- dudefeliciano 1y agoI don't think it's about love vs hate. There are plenty of billionaires who are neither loved nor hated, simply because they do not try to be in the spotlight. Elon, by virtue of being the marketing arm of Tesla and his other endeavors, needs to be in the spotlight. Well at least it used to be like that, seems that now it would be better for his companies stock prices if he disappeared for a while.
