Quite a lot of americans equate money with success and ability. Elon musk must be the smartest guy because dumb people dont make money like that.
I think its reverse engineering though, americans see his worth, and work backwards claiming all his choices are genius and well thought out.

He is probably just envious he didn't get to do it himself. Or that it doesn't fit his made-up persona.

Its not just power, its ego and success. If McDonalds started paying 30$ an hour it would suddenly be a job that signaled success, despite nothing changing about the job duties.
Thats what's happening here, elon is rich so he must be smart, and now people are jealous and emulate him. The OP is right though, money or not he's an idiot.

From the sounds of it he just sucks at all games. The one game we know he plays himself is a little puzzle game that's on the level of tic tac toe. It's just a dopamine generator.

People who have fully bought into the hard work+talent=success line cannot stand to have that belief shaken by realizing that someone dinner than them lucked/exploited their way to more success than they did.

making money from the labour of others.
So...anyone with a 401k

If Zuckerberg ever does philanthropy, it will be in a dystopian format where you need to hand over all your personal data to receive the benefits

Buying up as much arable American land as possible?

A person doesn't become not smart no matter how much he flirts with neo nazism. They might be an immoral piece of shit but pretending he isn't also smart can be extremely dangerous, lest people think we can now just let him wreck his brand and become irrelevant.

Money = Speech don't ya know.
Mo' money is a bigger voice in their system. Other countries call that "corrupt to the core".

Further proof that Capitalism is a religion.

I for one wouldn't rule out that, when Musk talks about working 12-hour days, what he really does is to let others work, while he sits on his ass tweeting and playing video games like the pathetic fraud that he is.
