MY ELON MUSK OPINION THAT WILL MAKE BOTH SIDES MAD
Elon Musk just became the first trillionaire in human history.
He's now richer than the next four richest people on earth combined.
I'm sure your social feeds are overflowing with opinions, just like mine.
If you're conservative, you're supposed to think this is amazing. Elon is solving humanity's biggest problems and being rewarded handsomely for it.
Capitalism at its finest.
If you're liberal, you think it's a travesty. One man worth more than the bottom half of the planet.
Wealth inequality at its ugliest.
Here's a take that's going to get everyone mad at me: both sides are right.
I'm a business owner. I'm a capitalist. Elon inspires me so much.
But... it's not wrong to say the wealth gap is absolutely shameful.
The system is broken.
Half of baby boomers have nothing saved for retirement. The other half have an average of $250,000. Nowhere near enough to retire on.
Take Elon out of the equation completely. If he disappeared tomorrow, those numbers wouldn't change.
If every billionaire ceased to exist it wouldn't magically put food on everyone else's plate. (In fact they'd leave such a huge hole in the economy, it would be painful.)
The system was broken long before SpaceX went public. And I hate to break it to you, the system isn't going to fix itself.
Here's the good news. We don't need it to.
We don't need to keep waiting on politicians.
We have Bitcoin, and Bitcoin is the cheat code.
It lets us use the same strategies the 1% have used for centuries.
We don't need their taxes. We don't need their charity. We can use the same playbook to profit alongside them.
I wish the system were different. But I can't change how the whole thing works. What I can control is what's right in front of me.
Bitcoin is a judo move. It takes the thing working against us, currency debasement, and turns it into leverage to build wealth instead.
That's what I've been doing since I lost everything in 2008. It's how I rebuilt as fast as I did.
And it's why I'm so passionate about teaching other people to do the same.
Leave Elon alone. Don't hate the player. Don't hate the game.
Learn the rules. Start playing it for yourself.
