  1. Legitimacy and wealth are not one and the same. Legitimacy opens far more doors than wealth alone. That's why Musk had to buy legitimacy, but there is no money back guarantee on such a deal, because that legitimacy isn't in the hands of the market. It's in the minds of the people that makes up the market. Rich or poor, they can still think as they like, and show their displeasure by spending their money elsewhere. Hayek would be pleased, (even though his dream of the market replacing democracy is flawed for many, many reasons.) And Musk's sense of entitlement is one of those reasons incarnate. Any political economy which ignores greed is doomed to failure. And it's the failures of neoliberalism that Musk, Trump, and those riding their coattails embody. The cult of the wealthy as wealth for wealth's sake, must die, because money is not wealth. It's just a token. It is what good it is put to that makes it wealth. Indeed, the self Indulgence of middle aged teenagers like Musk, can only impoverish figuratively and literally them and everyone impacted by them in the long run.
