I think those kinds of principles come most easily to people on the extremes of the wealth distribution. If you've got nothing they can't take it. If you're the richest guy on earth, you don't need their money. It's the folks in the middle that pay the greatest price for these stands.
And the closer the middle folks are to the glass wall of wealth the more obedient they are.
I call it the glass wall because you can't see it and you can't pass through it doing the same things you did to get there. At some point you must change your income method to use your capital to exact wealth from someone else to fuel your wealth engine.

Darn good goal.
I think with Elon, he has said many times he is not afraid to lose everything. So it is hard to bully a guy like that.
