it was an intentional choice to not go big. I can seriously respect that. I feel like all these "big tech leaders" like Zuck or Musk have some pretty blatant mental health issues, its a path with significant drawbacks because that level of absurd wealth causes issues.

Hoarding at scale, but with money instead of gnomes.

[ndsipa_pomu]

Also, hoarding that actively hurts other people and makes them poorer

As if casually having the ability to give away half a billion dollars is not absurd wealth?

[Quarrelsome]

the cure for hoardcurse is to give it away, yes.

If your goals require trillions then millions are not enough. Craig’s goal = have a modest comfortable life. Musk’s goal = Make humanity a multi-planet species

Yes, now there will be arguments about if that’s really Musk’s goal. that’s beside the point. The point is some goals require money than others

> Musk’s goal = Make humanity a multi-planet species

I totally see how the acquisition of twitter and funding of probably the worst US government in recent decades is in keeping with that aim. OR perhaps he just wants people to think he's cool, so he invests in "cool" stuff. This is because he has some of those mental health issues lots of absurdly wealthy people do, that results in him feeling like he constantly has to prove himself.
