Elon Musk: Creating wealth should be applauded. “If one creates wealth or creates great products and services, that is something that should be applauded. It's effectively increasing the standard of living of the country and perhaps of the world. And sometimes, people think of consumption and wealth as the... same thing, but they're obviously not the same thing.” Interview with Everyday Astronaut, May 26, 2022show more

Celebrating those like Musk who create value is recognizing true progress.

yes

Elon is a smart man. He speaks words of wisdom

that's true

@elonmusk We appreciate and applaud, people who create wealth, delightful products and services. Geniuses like Elon, who are gifted with exceptional abilities. They make a better world with better standards of living. ♥️🥰✨

@elonmusk Amazing that Elon spoke about this while standing on the top tower of Mechazilla overlooking Starship!

@elonmusk We need to create pet proof TV

Absolutely true. Envy seems to drive people to want to denigrate our 0.1% genius producers. "They need to pay their fair share," they say. Their fair share of someone else's productivity, innovation and income is exactly 0%.

@elonmusk There is an enormous swath of ppl who can’t wrap their head around this. Like a glitch, their thinking simply rejects it. Instead, they disdain the success and downplay the hard work. IT’S WILD.

@elonmusk His exceptional human traits and unparalleled abilities to create wealth and advanced technologies to "serve" make him an anomaly, and an atypical billionaire. Not all billionaires are made equal, and people's views of them are generally negative. But it is changing too.
