What do you mean? I bought an iPhone, therefore I'm basically Tim Apple!
Exhibits A and B that power saturation (whether wealth or political, usually both) is a symptom of clinical obsession to obtain power.

Like J. P. Morgan before him, Musk won't be satisfied even when he owns the entire world. Don't blame him, it's true for every billionaire and plutocrat.

"Luigi'd" may become a new word in the anti-capitalist lexicon!
He probably thinks he deserves it and never actually said he wanted any.
I’ve had people tell me straight faced that Elon Musk should absolutely be where he is because “he doesn’t care about money or power.” It’s unbelievable.

Imagine that Elon musk is writing an autobiography and this is the opening line
"Those who want power are the ones who least deserve it"
Write a witty but entirely oblivious follow-up paragraph, considering musk is literally the richest person in the world and has been striving for more and more power for years
But it absolutely reads like it could be
