I hope more and more people wake up to how generational wealth gives people very significant opportunities compared to coming from a family of no wealth/connections.
Being rich is far from a measure of merit in out hyper-capitalistic culture and the disparity between what people deserve and what they get is only going to continue getting worse.
Elon Musk is our new poster boy for absurdly undeserved wealth and there are still far too many who will argue in his defence, from either their position of lucky birth or even from their own delusional poverty.
I mean his from Africa, I wouldnt believe if his ancestors owned a couple plantations down there which ended up becoming what funded Musk in the first place. There's a lot of dirty money in the pockets of billionaires.
