Money doesn’t solve everything. The probably have way more issues with stalkers and death threats than any of us do, for example. Even with hired security that can’t feel very good.
I can’t figure out why this is so hard to comprehend. The rich have so many alternatives that the poor don’t to any given problem, and its still so common to find the middle class rise to take up pitchforks for the richest segments.
Not true at all. Take a look at Elon musk for example. Just because he has money doesn’t stop him from being sued or keeps the government out of his ass. He gets all this negativity from the media and other things and you act like he doesn’t exist because he has lots of money. And I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve it, but you are still insulting a real person, no matter how much money he has. The human brain finds ways to make small things seem big. We all need problems to thrive or else life would be lifeless and boring. If you’ve ever watched the show The Good Place, you might remember the scene where everybody is so happy for so many years that they basically became boring slugs that don’t do anything and have no emotion. To say that the rich are exempt from this is bs. They are humans like everyone else and all humans have these problems.
When you get the IRS on your ass, you lose your hair from the stress, your colon turns inside out, you get every one of your transactions scrutinised, and you scramble to deal with it while trying to still keep your life going. When musk gets the IRS on his ass, he hires the best tax lawyers in the world to deal with it, and fucks off to his private beach to sip martinis and get sucked off by whoever the fuck. If he’s feeling particularly ornery, he calls up his accountant and donates a billion dollars in “favors” and “services” to whichever SuperPAC lobbies to defund the IRS.
Same if he gets sued or slandered by the media or whatever other problem you can think off. As long as it doesn’t threaten his wealth at a systemic scale, he doesn’t have to give two fucks.
As far as I see, Elon Musk is bigger than a real person. He can insulate himself from real people problems to such a degree that many of these problems dont even show up on his radar, instead being taken care of by his assistants before they get to his table. You have as much in common with elon musk as human DNA does to Onion DNA - technically you’re similar to each other in that you’re both human beings, but you aren’t even close to the same thing.
The only problems that he might have in common with normal people are interpersonal ones.
I really don’t understand how you would even arrive to “My calling is to defend Elon Musk”. I feel dirty even spending the time to write this comment.

oh no if only they didn’t put themselves out there in the public eye all the fucking time
I disagree, none of the exploitative rich billionaires look happy

If you could find a way to be happy, you would never exploit so many people to get that wealthy.

Rich people pay for our lives to be shittier through lobbying self interests. They don’t care about you. Why do you care about them?
It’s almost alien to me too. Just can’t wrap my head around it. Maybe I’m getting too old.
I don’t care about them. I’m just saying that the argument that they don’t have problems is completely invalid.
Oh boo fucking hoo.
