The Descent of Elon Musk

There's a poorly-defined spot that we keep looking at but not quite finding. Wealth gives you the ability to do what you want, though a lot of people don't seem to know quite what that is. Often, you might have some idea of it when you're young, but by the time you have achieved that middle-class-wealth, you're too old to do it (or think of yourself as too old).

Zuckerberg and Bezos don't really seem to know what they want, other than to acquire more wealth. Musk, at least, seems to have ideas. And some of them seem like genuinely worthy ideas.

Unfortunately, some of them really aren't. When it comes to Twitter, it sounds like he genuinely wants to shape the world conversation in his own image.

Like, if someone offered you the choice between 10 million dollars and a billion dollars, I’m not sure that the billion dollars should be the automatic choice.
