Naturally, people are calling it yet another failure of capitalism, and I'm calling BS. I compared his wealth to Andrew Carnegie’s fortune. On paper, Musk’s number looks insane, but when you measure them against the total money supply of their eras, the truth completely flips.

I explain why fiat is failing, why you should be mad at central banks instead of builders, and how we finally opt out. Chapters (00:00:00) - Did Elon Break Capitalism?
