Didn't mean to throw shade at the more reasonable among your ilk ;)

You might find comfort in the fact that karma always comes around eventually and more money blatantly does not equal more happiness. I doubt Mr. Musk is happier than me, in fact, I would argue the reverse is true to the extent I literally feel sorry for the guy, not that I excuse or rationalize his general shittiness in who he is fundamentally and how he (mis)behaves constantly.

That's not even taking into account the likelihood they run into some intractable issues with the law, which is delayed and sometimes denied but never totally withoht significant downside at any time. As they say, "Give me liberty or give me death" and also "the police only need to get lucky once, the crimer has to get lucky over the career of their continuous criming".

Smile friend, you've done well for yourself and remained grounded. There's people far less accomplished I know who failed miserably in that department.

I feel very surreal in having someone at your level honoring me with your recognition and engaging in this dialogue with me. Not use to anybody actually ever listening to me but its getting better, I'm noticing.
