If I suddenly had Elon’s money, I wouldn’t be a billionaire for long after I start funding a bunch of shit to help other people.
But that exactly is the problem. You would never happen to “suddenly have it”. As you lack the requirements to hoard and exploit enough. And if you were a nice dude that would just inherit it…you wouldn’t be nice to begin with, as your empathy would’ve been indoctrinated into oblivion by your environment. You’d rarely even have met people not “suffering” from the worst of humanity’s personality disorders.
And even if you’d be the one billionaire out of a thousand that still is decent and helpful…“your” people will find things to make you look like an are. And in the end you’re poor again and your offspring inherit nothing and have learned nothing of value. Capitalism wouldn’t budge under your empathy.
Most of his money is imaginary anyways.
So is mine 🤷🏻♂️
