  6.  @denvan3143  Lol, I never said I was the greatest investor. Besides, If we take your questions seriously and not just as a troll (lmao), Warren Buffett is an investor, Elon musk is an entrepreneur, there is a difference not only in job tasks but sweat equity stake can be larger and exponential growth is larger from an earlier starting point. Elon musk and Buffett have received government subsidies much larger than all the tax refunds I've ever seen. Kind of ironic that you're talking down to me since we're probably in the same boat of the 90% who don't own a lot of stock- More than 80% of the stock market is owned by the top 10% of the wealthy. With that type of inequality it's just a statistical probability that I'm not going to be born into the privileges that bolster the richest 10%. These are billionaires that buy out your politicians behind closed doors, reducing democracy and fostering an oligarchy of corporate interests. If you're defending somebody just based on how much wealth they have, that's a pretty hollow argument, a lot of wealth has been attained in very unethical ways. Elon's done great things by making electric cars sexy, ironic that GM killed the EV-1 and now wants to be the number one seller of EVs, smh. But we all know Elon brought it back (with some government loans). But I also know that capitalism concentrates wealth and distorts political systems.... So a show of incomprehensible wealth is not necessarily a flex to me, but more a sign of a systemic social problem. If you hate democracy then I guess cheer on the billionaire in a country of Citizens United PACs and Dark Pools, That will sure make YOUR VOICE heard. Stand up for yourself, not billionaires.
