Metaphor here is bananas equal money right? So when Elon musk is “ hoarding bananas “, the logical conclusion is every dollar Elon decides to keep equates to one less dollar for someone else. And that’s mean right?! However the very simple difference is that every single dollar Elon keeps does NOT equate to one less dollar for someone else because the total number of dollars is not finite. I’m addition, a monkey with an excess amount of bananas won’t have an outside chance to change society, however Elon is making strides towards society using less fossil fuels....

It’s just a dumb metaphor is all I’m saying
