As Kurt Vonnegut wrote in his poem “Joe Heller”:
True story, Word of Honor:
Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer
now dead,
and I were at a party given by a billionaire
on Shelter Island.
I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel
to know that our host only yesterday
may have made more money
than your novel ‘Catch-22’
has earned in its entire history?”
And Joe said, “I’ve got something he can never have.”
And I said, “What on earth could that be, Joe?”
And Joe said, “The knowledge that I’ve got enough.”
Not bad! Rest in peace!
Hey dude. You know what can buy happiness? Compassion, generosity, being of service, creativity, a healthy lifestyle, and staying far away from toxic people like your Trumps, Epsteins, etc. Your conquests and financial success are empty. You see that. Divest. You will live comfortably for the rest of your life now, or pursue endeavors purely for the love of it, or the creative outlet. And you can use that time and money making amends, bettering the lives of everyone around you. Feed the hungry, house the poor, pay for the education and betterment of others, use your influence to benefits those without influence. Empower others to be comfortable too. I promise you that you will feel 10000 times better about yourself, and the people around you will love you for it.
Elon could’ve done this and make Tesla the biggest company ever. I remember when he was awesome future guy and everyone liked him. I think he got super drunk on this success and has been “chasing the high” in all the wrong ways ever since.
The difference was that he fired his PR agents in 2020 who stopped him from ruining their carefully created advertising. He never was that person.
Absotively.
dude just had to hang onto the ball and run out the clock
