I always liked the analogy with monkeys in the zoo. Imagine there are 10 monkeys in a cage. Every day you drop in 20 oranges. After a while you realise that one monkey is sitting on a pile of oranges, hoarding them. He can’t even eat all the oranges, while some monkeys go hungry. No one would think: “man that must be one smart monkey.” You would think something is seriously wrong with that guy.

That’s an unfair representation.
Money isn’t simply given to Elon every day…
Other people work hard for his money!
Yeah, all of the United States taxpayers work very hard to give him money
…after a couple weeks there’s a dead monkey and fermented oranges though. We could learn from monkeys
Yeah that was kinda my thought. I’m pretty sure the other monkeys would beat the ever living F*** out of the hoarder-monkey.
Even if he was the biggest, baddest monkey there a bunch of them would be smart enough to band together and reclaim food
