 The old rich white guys are deceiving, they make it look like what they do, it’s actually a good thing. Look at Warren Buffet and the like for example, they’ve provided nothing of value to the world. They just took advantage of the over-financialization and the cheap money. Yet they are revered by most 😅 
 Warren knows how to evaluate companies, that's something you can't take away from him.

Just like you can't take away Elon's accomplishments by just saying the word subsidy.

Obv the level of wealth he's achieved is probably due to overfinancialization - but he'd be successful either way.
