You can buy jars of low quality diamonds for dollars. Diamonds can get expensive because it is rare to have a large, transparent, properly cut gem. My parents could probably buy the world supply of cutting materials.

Not gonna lie, I'm a little depressed that Woody Harrelson just got described as "The mentor from hunger games" it's not even one of his best performances. I'm not saying he's bad in it, just it isn't his best, think De Niro in meet the fockers.

u/Subtopewds5000 Jan 08 '21
Actually what he is doing is pretty smart. Tesla for example will one day be the biggest car manufacturer because as gas prices go up and electric car prices go down it slowly becomes a good prospect. Right now however it is a luxury item, because gas prices haven’t gone up and the cost of development and manufacturing is just to much at the moment. With spacx on the other hand, wait a couple more years and starlink will be fully operational. He doesn’t care about Mars he cares about this. If you don’t know what starlink is, it’s the biggest constellation of satellites ever made. You will be able to by a mobile receiver for 30-40 bucks and anywhere in the world you will get stable satellite connection immediately. This will be used in places without internet infrastructure. Think of the applications. Almost all of Africa is like this, emergency services, phones connecting to satellites, instead of data going through optic fiber, which is inefficient, it will go through the satellites. He is projected to become the worlds first trillionare, outcompeting major connection services like at&t, verison, and t-mobile. Not only that, but he owns majority stock in both companies. He is a smart businessman and a visionary and you can’t take that away from him.

This has been his policy forever. I’ve been downvoted many times for saying this same stuff... never liked Musk.
He’s a great salesman, but he hasn’t invented anything meaningful. He invested in TESLA early, invested in another guy’s rocket design, had some engineers make reusable rockets for him... it’s like Steve Jobs all over again, but more arrogant and less pretentious.

In a way, yes, law of market suggests if you're a wanted company then you can afford to pay less. But generally, big and wanted companies are extremely high standards on the work load, but valorise their engineers a lot with high pays and loads of advantages. At google they do everything so you feel at home and comfortable so you stay there and work.

Aerospace engineering student here. SpaceX is weird. They require a 3.75 gpa to hire fresh grads, which is insane, nobody else does. But a year at spaceX fast tracks your salary to 120k+. Most everyone I know that’s either worked there, interned there, applied or worked with other former spaceX employees, know it sucks. The hours are shit and it’s brutal hard work. But it’s still the place to go, especially if you’re young and single. Work there a year or two, then go to aerojet rocketdyne or Lockheed and ride a higher than average salary with comfortable benefits.

Elon keeps his workers in horrid conditions. My little brother worked these crazy shifts 16-18 when he was only scheduled for 10. They higher ups pressure you into feeling like it’s a must or you’ll never go anywhere in the company. My family told him those hours were going to kill him and eventually they did. He died after falling asleep at the wheel after one of his 10 hour shifts that turned into an 18 hour shift. In short, fuck Elon Musk.

It's not really possible to reach Bezos levels of rich without exploiting and stepping on others. People who become rich on their own talent only like footballers, doctors or musicians may become multimillionaires at best, but unless they move into farming out merch to sweatshops or something they'll never get beyond that.
To farm money and assets fast enough to multiply that first million (which is a huge sum to most people) by ~100000 needs a huge, ruthlessly efficient system that cuts whatever costs possible. And treating people fairly is expensive.

Bill Gates is just further along his life than the other two so that doesn’t really make sense. Before he became philanthropist Bill he was ruthless Bill just like Musk and Bezos.
Like others have mentioned, to get to these levels of wealth you have to unapologetically exploit the work of others to some degree, it’s just how the system is set up.
If you have an issue with that I feel you, but by the terms you’re defining don’t think Bill Gates is some saint, because he’s not.
