    I don’t know where Tesla will be 30 years from today. But Elon is the sole reason why the world is moving away from petrol cars to less (or zero) polluting cars. Till few years back, all that Silicon Valley startups were thinking of only creating innovative internet companies, but his success drove several entrepreneur towards Electrification. This will be the greatest Legacy of Elon Musk.

    Warren Buffett has donated $38 billion to charity over his lifetime, and he plans to give away most of his money before he dies.

    Buffet is one of the largest donors to The bill gates and husband foundation. The gates foundation frequently finds eugenics programs disguised as vaccine programs. So bill gates is also a eugenics depopularionist disguising himself as a regular old man:

    [NEW DELHI] While India’s oral polio vaccine (OPV) drives have eliminated polio from the country, they have also resulted in over 490,000 cases of paralysis during 2000—2017, says a new study based on national surveillance statistics.

    Buffet eventually ended his funding but the damage is done:

    Warren Buffett. According to NewsBusters, Buffett, former Berkshire Hathaway Chairman & CEO, has donated enough money to pro-abortion groups to abort the entire population of Chicago. From just 2001 to 2012, his foundation, the Susan Thompson Buffet Foundation, gave more than $1.2 billion to pro-abortion, pro-population control groups.

    The difference is that Warren constantly keeps some cash, while Musk has everything invested.

    The tech companies provide actual services. Banks just create money out of thin air (thru the loan process – money to loan is simply created in loan accounts – this is possible because they only keep a fraction of the account in cash) and lend this created money out & collect interest on it. When the loan is paid back the temporary money disappears but banks have collected interest on it in the meantime. We could get by without banks actually. Use a western union type service for paying for things or sending money to distant places.

    Tech, on the other hand, provides computers, phones, internet, phone service, etc. So I don’t begrudge them high pay.

    For your discussion to miss this distinction was rather less than inspiring.

    TRUE RICHES COME FROM WITHIN.. MY BANK IN HEAVEN HOLDS NO BOUNDS IN RICHES…. plus money isnt real.. it is a SYSTEM of HONOR of CREDIT.. thus a good credit score can achieve millions in loan.. school is provided to allow objective evidence to some degree that a individual is capable of HONORABLE credit.. but today is the internet.. when is MUSK.. gonna release a portable VR headset that is battery based that uses cloud tesla video card and is powered by a friction nano energy producing touch suit?!?! hrm MUSK HRM?!?! MUSK IS TO BUSY TRYING TO BUILD A CATAPULT TO MARS.. WHICH OF COURSE WONT WORK.. HIRE ME AND I WILL CATAPULT US ALL INTO THE FUTURE.. ILL USE HOLMIUM AND A GIANT MAGNETIC DRONE THAT WILL LEFT ME INTO SPACE WITHOUT A SUIT.. I WILL THEN USE ADVANCED YOGA TO RESIST THE GAS CHANGES ON MY PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION.. THEN I SHALL FROM SPACE LISTEN TO EVERYONE LIKE SUPERMAN RETURNS COMBINED WITH ECHO LOCATION… ALL WHILE SAVING THE INNOCENT FROM DISASTER BY YELLING REALLY LOUD FROM A REALLY HIGH PLACE.. MY SOUND WAVES WILL INTERACT WITH THE COSMIC PARTICLES.. AND FORM A NEW PATHWAY FOR MOLECULES TO TRAVEL THUS REVERSING TIME AND SPACE.. I SHALL CALL IT “NOSOB SGGIH”! THE ULTIMATE YOGA!

    It takes money to make money, unfortunately even those of us who would know how to make money in the current world situation simply have no money, no capital to pull themselves up out of poverty with.

    Warren Buffett is OLD Money , the fact that he doesn’t want to spending understand new technology . say a lot

  40. Benjamin Jones

    They failed to mention that Elon achieved this all while only receiving a $1 annual paycheck. His compensation is tied directly to Tesla’s success… rather than all other CEOs that get ridiculous salaries, compensation packages, & ‘golden parachutes’ no matter how poorly they (mis)manage their companies. If only other companies/banks would adopt this type of compensation, perhaps we wouldn’t have quite so many tax-payer funded bailouts every few years.
