That’s the thing. That’s an oxymoron. One can’t have musks resources and be a good person. To get such resources, one has, by design, to be the kind of person who thrives in Capitalism. Evil.

And that’s why politican salaries should be caped. Everyone can be corrupted, even if they started good.

And income in general to see briebs, stocks etc.
