I have mixed feelings about a human being having a net worth of $ 1T. Most of the people I have talked to have expressed only negative sentiments ranging from "Capitalism out of control", "Peak human greed", "Political control" to "Elon is the modern Bonaparte or Alexander".

Even though I sympathize with some of those sentiments - I also think that it's batshit crazy (in a good way) that its possible for 1 human to have that kind of worth. It's analogous to scaling a peak that had not been scaled before. I also understand it'a not the real worth and it's mostly on paper but still the real worth is also pretty close to that number. I also understand that there are a lot of forces behind this net worth, from pure engineering talent to political and not so ethical jugaads.<br>​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Anyway, I just wanted to know how you were thinking about this. Happy sunday!
