          I think so.

          It might do a difference in some situations, but probably not here.

          AOC for example as a lot of power if compared to her wealth, while Musk sucks at politics and needs the money to achive power. At the same time AOC is galaxies away from the power Musk has just because of his money.

          Putin for example wants to hide it, but he’s not only powerful, before the war was worth 200 billions. I see money and power like interchangeable things.

              True.

              But as a “social capital” seeker, I’m keen to see more the typical italian mafia boss. He lives in a concrete hole in a small bs town but he can bend the government to his interests. That’s the pure love for the power.

              Musk is way simplier. He wants people to say he’s good. He’s a child.

              But he’s also an asshole, so people doesn’t love him and he doubles down, in his search for appreciation.

                Yes. He’s not as smart as he thinks he is, yet he is not as dumb as he portays. He’s dishonest at his core and it shows in the way he interacts with others.
