Hear me out, I don’t want to be Musk. I want to be in a situation where I don’t have to work and I don’t have to worry about money for the rest of my life. If today I want to lay in my bed until 11, get up and play games until 3pm, start binging a new series until 10pm, and then go clubbing until 4am, I wouldn’t have to worry about whether it’s Tuesday or Saturday, whether I have a project due tomorrow, whether I have food in the fridge, whether I can afford to pay my bills, all because I get a stream of money coming into my account every month, enough to cover all my expenses and then some, so if I want to start a project that can develop into a successful business, I can do that. And if I just want to tinker with some random piece of hardware I found on eBay, I can do that. And if I just want to go through the routine above, I can do that. That’s what I seek. That level of freedom. Money is just a way of achieving that freedom.
Pointless luxury can have different meaning for different people. Some people use money to amass power. For such people, controlling multiple businesses in multiple vital industries is key. For a person who wants to use money to achieve freedom (lile me), buying up media companies would be pointless. For someone aiming to amass power, it would be key.

I don’t know man, being poor doesn’t seem great either.

Yeah not having an existential crisis every other day seems nightmarish
it’s fun that this accurately represent the image, as few people are filthy rich.
