Well, have you considered the following counter argument offered by Andresen?

The classic example of this is Elon Musk's master plan, which he naturally published openly for Tesla in 2006.

Step one, build an expensive sports car.

Step two, use that money to build an affordable car.

Step three, use that money to build an even more affordable car.

He has not done step two.

He hasn't done step two.

He is on step one for the fifth time. He got distracted,

building expensive sports cars and getting red-pilled by like guys on Twitter, who got like some Coke money to fucking, like, do targeted influence operations, and red-pill him.

And now he's like, liking tweets about, like, the Jewish question.

This shit doesn't trickle down, and Elon Musk is proof of it. He spent a shitload of money

on Twitter, his brain is that broken? Instead of, like, when is the Tesla model like T? When is

the Tesla that, like, normal people instead of people who drew like web comics that got

big in 2009 can buy?

There isn't one.

And the reason why there isn't one is because this shit doesn't happen.

They all become these weird insular freaks who start shaving bits off their own skulls

to try and make them pointier.

So it says, he says, the last point is key.

Would Elon be even richer if he only sold cars to rich people?

That's what he does. But would he be even richer than if he only made cars for himself? Of course not.

I think he should do this. I think Elon Musk should genuinely like continue making every Tesla, but just for him. He's doing like donuts in the parking lot of the factory.
