      What do you mean? I bought an iPhone, therefore I’m basically Tim Apple!

    He probably thinks he deserves it and never actually said he wanted any.

        Wait, they said the man who won a lawsuit that granted him the title of “co-founder”, at a company he did not co-found, isn’t in it for power?

        On the topic of money: have you seen the price of a Tesla?

    Exhibits A and B that power saturation (whether wealth or political, usually both) is a symptom of clinical obsession to obtain power.

    Pink Floyd has long held the same opinion (YouTube)

    Like J. P. Morgan before him, Musk won’t be satisfied even when he owns the entire world. Don’t blame him, it’s true for every billionaire and plutocrat.

      “It’s a curious paradox,” I mused, gazing out the window of my private jet as it soared above the mundane concerns of ordinary folk. “Take myself, for example. I have no desire for power, yet it seems to gravitate towards me like metal shavings to a particularly charismatic magnet. Perhaps it’s my relentless focus on the betterment of humanity, or maybe it’s the irresistible charm that comes with building rockets and digging holes in the ground. Whatever the reason, it’s a burden I bear with grace and humility, knowing that true leadership lies not in seeking power, but in having it thrust upon you.”

      🤢

          No, it’s not. Compliments of Gemini:

          Imagine that Elon musk is writing an autobiography and this is the opening line

          “Those who want power are the ones who least deserve it”

          Write a witty but entirely oblivious follow-up paragraph, considering musk is literally the richest person in the world and has been striving for more and more power for years

          But it absolutely reads like it could be

    That is just exploding with irony.
