That's funny. Ever heard of Napoleon?
I did my best by not being born in America
Good on you. Voting with your wallet is exactly what you should do in a free society.
I wonder why people always say things like "even more impressive because he's a high schooler". I feel like I did some of my best stuff at that age, and certainly had the most creativity going around in my head. A person in that age, given enough resources (which this kid certainly had due to being in one of the best private schools in US) and bit of luck can move mountains.
Not to be so gloomy, let's also remember Tolkien, who published The Hobbit at age 45.
Let’s not pretend giving away all their wealth would fix all of our problems.
Let's not pretend that assets work like cash.
You do know that billionaires don't actually have billions of dollars in a vault in a Scrooge McDuck fashion, right?
Brian Thompson was just a poor millionaire though. Perhaps one of the reasons why he was so easy to get.
Yeah ok, but if we think about this all calculating like... if I sell my car and get a new one, what was the net result? I paid a whole lot of taxes and I paid for the profit margin of the car dealership, and did a whole bunch of additional work orchestrating all this. None of these actions made Elon Musk poorer or really affected his visibility or power in any way.
The only thing I get is a warm fuzzy feeling of not driving a car that's associated with him. Perhaps avoided the tiny risk of vandalism.
I mean sure, my next car will certainly be from some other manufacturer, but I cannot figure any reason to rush it.
Don't let your kids have phones in the bedroom, ffs people
