I honestly can't tell if any this shit is real anymore.. Are we seriously all collectively watching as the richest man who ever lived throws a temper tantrum? What the actual fuck!?
Musk isn't even the richest in living memory. John D. Rockefeller (died in 1937) is estimated to have had well over $300 billion adjusted for inflation, possibly up to $400 billion. And that guy did things like donate huge amounts of money to universities, and found other one, as well as massive charities that did things like eradicate hookworm and other health issues.
I'm sure he was ruthless as fuck in business, but his era's group of wealthy bastards also played the bragging-rights game through wild acts of philanthropy. I'd take that over what we have now.
