I would genuinely rather be myself and live paycheck to paycheck than be rich and have to be Elon Musk. Once you get over how infuriating he is, he's just so deeply pathetic.

I agree. He may be fabulously wealthy, but he also has no real friends because he's both loathsome and because people that rich don't have friends. They have sycophants, people who can make use of them and people that are paid to pretend to like them.

Financially, things aren't terrific, but I'll also take that over being Elon.
