Speaking of which, Musk's meltdown playing while streaming "Path of
Exile 2" was fun. Also, he died to the boss in the tutorial. Truly an
epic masterclass gamer. (Some of his kids have also reportedly said
that they 'carried' him in games whenever they played together,
asserting that he is in no way a skilled gamer).

Which, honestly, wouldn't be a bad thing. The guy nominally runs three
major corporations (and heads up several smaller ones), and is head of
an government organization unconstitutionally tearing apart the US
government. He's a busy guy, Musk; he should have no time for gaming.
It's quite forgivable if his skills are lacking in that area. But he
just can't face that possibility.

Honestly, I /like/ Musk. Not as a person obviously, but as an example.
Too often CEOs and the ultra-rich were held up as exemplary heroes to
Western society; "Look at this powerful men, who obviously achieved
their status and wealth out of their hard work and intelligence." But
these days, the truth is that their positions are due more to where
they were born, the opportunities that birth offered them, and luck.
They are not super-smart or capable. They are certainly not deserving
of the immense salaries they give themselves, or the influence that
wealth lets them wield. 

Nowhere is this more clear than with Musk. He's a shining example of
how weak -emotionally, intellectually, and psychologically- the class
is... and he's the richest amongst them. I LOVE how he constantly
flaunts his awfulness. It's a never-ending reminder of how undeserving
he -and others of his ilk- are of their privileges.

It's unlikely they'll ever get their well-deserved comeuppance. But if
it ever happens, it will be because of people like Musk.
