it’s funny to me that Alfred Nobel saw his premature obituary and went “my god! I must contribute something unambiguously good to the world if I am to be remembered as anything but a monster” because can you imagine a rich person doing that now. bezos would see his obituary and be like “hmmm… guess I should buy more newspapers”

if elon musk saw himself described as “a swindler who needed to be seen as Just Like The Common Folk, yet was just as desperate to be treated like a god in human form for the cars he had no hand in engineering or building” his immediate instinct would be to post a wojak about it
