i just wish we had some kind of functional safety net for retirement such that individuals weren’t forced to hoard wealth out of fear like they are now.
Hoarding wealth with good reason is fine but someone like Musk isn’t doing it out of fear. He has more money than he can possibly use and could give away like 90% and still be safe. What even motivates him? It’s pure selfishness
So like, both my wife and I grew up washing and reusing tinfoil. We were never so poor we actually needed to tighten the belt that much until we had been together a while, but like I still catch myself doing it. Some generational traumas take really weird forms. The most generous interpretation of space Karen’s actions I can think up is that he’s acting out over traumas he was taught (rather than experienced firsthand).

He could give away 99% and have more than 99% of the population
It’s a mix of sciopathy and narcissism–sadly two traits most common among leaders.
