You are as weak as anybody else, don't have delusions now.
Sure, our opinions are equally useless, but there’s varying degrees of being able to take action on that opinion.
Elon Musk can afford Twitter and do whatever he wants with it. You can’t.
I can afford to be unemployed while traveling nonstop for years on end. I can work on whatever TF I want. No BS meetings or a boss. That’s freedom, and freedom is power. You probably can’t. Do you have a boss? If you do, that person is already more powerful than you. I’m probably more powerful than your boss, since I report to no one except the government. I can afford to not work for employers who values I don’t agree with, or just don’t feel like working for. If you are enjoying being a wage slave, be our guest.
If you’re so smart, don’t be poor. Don’t be delusional for me. The world is pretty fair for people with good ideas and the ability to actually execute on them. Talk is cheap. You can also short or long Twitter or any stock too, if your opinion had any economic merit. At the very least, don’t dread Monday. That sounds awful. Bet you have student loans too. Can’t relate.
What freedom do you have in stopping Musk from buying Twitter? Everything else is irrelevant.
>You probably can’t.
Another assumption.
>If you’re so smart, don’t be poor. >Bet you have student loans too. Can’t relate.
Next time you go out on a date, I suggest you show them this comment.
>The world is pretty fair for people with good ideas and the ability to actually execute on them.
I'm happy that you haven't had any significant pains in achieving your financial independence. But just know that, if you want to make it to the big leagues, you will have to recognize the advantages you were given in order to fully make use of them. Musk, Gates, Buffet are priveleged, to be sure, but they are smart. They are in tune with the reality of their privilege. They are grateful for it, and that is essential to why they made it. Only because they are in tune with their reality, can they can shape it.
Good luck.
At the very least, they aren’t resigning and relegating themselves to be a victim of Elon Musk. That’d be weakness and the opposite of “power”.
