Its a trillion dollar game of musical chairs with roughly 8.3 billion people playing and only a few thousand chairs.

    That’s just life you’re describing. Life in capitalism, that is.

    Nah, far from everyone wants to be a trillionaire, nor a billionaire. Sure most would want financial independence, but not a lot more than that

    Ahh but you are falling into a common fallacy, you probably think that because there is enough money to go around everyone should have a enough to meet their needs, then the excess can be an incentive for people who make outsized contributions to society, like a not sociopathic member of the human race.

    The bloodsucking leech class view the existence of other people with needs as a personal insult. They feel every cent of money should be theirs personally, or as a barely acceptable compromise maybe shared around an "elite" class.

    If Bezos for instance could have all the money and just issue Amazon Bucks™ based on how useful you are to him he would love that.

    Honestly the reason we know Elon isn't a real gamer is that he doesn't have a bunch of four "agents" in trenchcoats with neuralinks and miniguns running around cities as he directs them to from an airship overhead. Otherwise that game would be as close to a masturbatory fantasy as someone who can't get hard after all the Special K would get.
