I remember back when I was a kid it was hard to convince people that wealth and success was not a matter of being better, smarter, or harder working - as we were told - but rather almost entirely a matter of luck. Thankfully, Elon Musk has shown many people the light that I could not. Thank you, Elon
To be fair there is one personal trait that's really important to wealth and success, the willingness to walk over the bodies of your peers.
Too many people are still convinced that Elon's wealth is attained through his hardwork alone.
Yeah, although if Elon hasn't convinced them I can at least take solace in knowing there was probably no way to convince them anyways. Total lost causes
