    In 2000, while driving on Sand Hill Road with PayPal Inc. Co-Founder Peter Thiel to a meeting, a moment of bravado led Musk to demonstrate the car’s capabilities. “Watch this,” he said, moments before the McLaren spun out of control, flew “like a discus” 3 feet into the air and crashed. The worst part? The car wasn’t insured.

          I’m pretty sure capitalism would have just made another Nazi the first trillionaire, and collapsed into fascism either way.

          The problem is systemic; continuously rewarding sociopaths and psychopaths with wealth and power.

            Because “They make the decisions the rest of us can’t”.

            And people assume that’s a good thing.
