On paper, Elon has broken into the top 10 of wealthiest people in the world.
And, as he eventually ascends to #1, I wonder how this affects perception of wealth attainment among people globally? Many would call him apart of the traditional "club" but it seems more like he's disrupting the club, as he is doing in multiple industries. His complete dedication to his companies/employees/investors and holding nearly 100% of wealth in stock *he will never sell* as well as consistent noble mission from day one of helping humanity through accelerating sustainable consumption and production of energy, he is unlike anyone in that top 10 today or of yesteryear.
He may as well redefine this too, what it means to obtain the highest prize in individual capitalism (to be wealthiest person on earth) and this is a revolution/disruption unto itself outside the general disruptions created by his companies.
His example to current and future generations is to have a complete dedication to a noble mission to prevent global calamity and ensure future self generating sustainable prosperity. From the meatheads to the delicate introverts. That achieving to highest level of wealth has to be done to improve the globe and think globally of the impact of your ideas on sustainability. The example of having a high personal ethical constitution in pursuing that. Getting serious about these big ideas, being committed to fundamental physics/science of anything you attempt to tackle and build up from there. Communicating pure intention (master plan) to others to build an adaptive, dedicated team, to execute on these pure intentions with this growing team, not succumbing to outside forces attempting to bend that trust built with this team. Chewing that glass while walking into the abyss. Accepting the fact legacy forces will attack you. Believing, the hurricane-like force of integrity around the noble master plan (which disrupts the stagnant, lacking noble integrity economic forces) goes beyond the team and *becomes apart of the broader community.* Over time, people not involved in the team, just average people, will give general support and root for your success, which is not normal for a for-profit company directly because they are taking on these stagnant forces, to improve all our long term human condition directly or indirectly. Profit to them means furthering the cause, not aggrandizing the riches of a few at the expense of the rest, but changing of how we view economic activity for all people globally. It actually turns into a human spirit connecting activity.
As eventually becoming the wealthiest man the planet has ever seen, Elon's example may have dramatic affects on how we see ourselves as a people. For those that say show me the money, they will not look to Gordon Gecko, but to how Elon does it. For those that show me humanity, they will look to Elon for democratizing energy by giving all of us the ability to affordably produce cheap kwhs and use those kwhs to "fuel" or cars and devices to improve our lives at the most fundamental economic levels. It *is* a rebalancing of wealth into the hands of the many from the hands of the few, by putting sustainable energy production and consumption into the hands of the many instead of just the few and its globally applicable. It empowers the individual, while strengthening the human community fabric.
Regardless of how any of use feel about wealth, money, and the current system, Elon at the top of the capitalist power list will fundamentally be better for us all than any of the alternatives in this real politik cut throat world.
