For what it's Worth-Tesla

[djsina2]

You might not like the guy and you might hate the cars he builds or the spaceships that are beyond those of NASA but take a tour of his $7.2B yacht. This is so beyond any super yachts I have ever seen......

You don’t actually believe that is real, do you?

I wish these oligarchs would read about Andrew Carnegie. After he achieved the greatest fortune in the world at the time, by selling Carnegie steel for the equivalent of the 1901 US GDP, he set about to give away his entire fortune before he died. When it became obvious that Carnegie could not give away his entire fortune within his lifetime, he established the Carnegie Corporation of New York in 1911 "to promote the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and understanding" and continue his program of giving.

No super boats, now space joy rides, no private islands, etc.

Few today have fortunes that were earned in any moral way.

Elon is not on his death bed to give away things at this time. He is still relatively young, and if one would take a step back from certain aspects, they would see that he is (and has been) trying to advance many aspects of human life.

When he is near death, time will tell what he does with his fortune. Until then, it's somewhat unfair to criticize him for what he will leave behind. His story is far from over.

And neither was Andrew Carnegie. After becoming the richest man in the world, Carnegie spent the next 20 years giving away his fortune and making the world a better place.

So…it’s a totally fair comparison.

Carnegie’s fortune was absolutely not earned in a moral way, actually his fortune was built on violence in the form of strike and union busting.

Thats an interesting thought...I have no idea

@djsina2

it helps to do research as I think your assumption and my ignorance is correct

How many kids do you think he'll have by then? His own personal army might suck it all up!

Fair. Maybe he grew a conscious. The context of today certainly makes me think someone less moral will be more likely to stay their course since people are pretty identity obsessed, plugged in, etc. The battles they face to maintain are crazier than ever as well, which likely reinforces a lot of behavior.

I will say it does seem like a lot of very wealthy in history tended to contribute more to the public with parks and such. So many are still around, but I don't recall any new ones from philanthropist.

Nice but very bling blingy .
Looks more like digital design , show off only .
It might be built / it might not , probably not and the price tag seems high .( on purpose?)

Any way good promo material for both Elon and Lamborgini.
Seems like TMT bling bling marketing Money mayweather.

Lamborghini V 12 aventador .
Sorry Elon keep your Tesla.
That roar is next level

We he has absolutely no contact with 3 of them.

But say what you want , the key to succes is persistence .

Elon finally got it working .
