it was an intentional choice to not go big. I can seriously respect that. I feel like all these "big tech leaders" like Zuck or Musk have some pretty blatant mental health issues, its a path with significant drawbacks because that level of absurd wealth causes issues.

Hoarding at scale, but with money instead of gnomes.

As if casually having the ability to give away half a billion dollars is not absurd wealth?

If your goals require trillions then millions are not enough. Craig’s goal = have a modest comfortable life. Musk’s goal = Make humanity a multi-planet species

Yes, now there will be arguments about if that’s really Musk’s goal. that’s beside the point. The point is some goals require money than others
