But if that was true Elon would be the happiest person on earth.

    Offer valid only up to $150k, turns out. After that, it starts going downhill.

    No study suggests this. It keeps going up - you're just hitting diminishing returns.

    There’s a trillionaire that is desperate to get into pedophile parties, and between him and the common person, there’s a lot of millionaires and billionaires in those pedophile parties, so there’s clearly a downward trending curve.

    Above the $150K threshold (was $70K when they first widely published the idea, but inflation...) it really depends on what you are doing for that $150K, what kind of responsibilities you have taken on, stressors you have, and zero responsibilities or stressors is not a great place to be on the curve, people with no reasons to live aren't in a great spot.

    No, you're picturing a linear curve on a graph (i.e. a straight line). Most systems in life do not behave linearly though. An S shape is probably more accurate, with happiness levelling off past a certain point.
