You are confusing the vast major of people with the small number of people who usually have worse options and make bad decisions and turn avoiding a slight loss into jail time for doing what someone like Trump says.

I'm not saying Musk won't find those people, I'm saying he has reduced the rest of his life to being surrounded by those people. A giant drop from what he was attracting when he began his startups.

If the rest of the US takes a realist view like yours then it is best not to waste time there and start to consider which economies accept US resources/credentials and will do better.. IMO, that's exactly what a successful Russian did in the 90s and why they aren't foolishly still in Russia submitting and becoming fodder.

Ok? I don't think he cares or that changes anything I said though?

And what economy do you think is going to be better than the US on this front?

Singapore
I lived in Singapore for awhile.

In some ways yes (taxes, corruption if you stay in Singapore), in other ways No (to make much money you’ll likely be dealing with China/Chinese a lot - and if you think they’re better than Musk than lol).

Either way an experience!
