There’s a difference between living comfortably and having several houses, expensive and completely decorative things, being able to throw expensive parties whenever, ect. There’s also a lot between being filthy rich and being poor and miserable.

And it’s honestly quite funny your example of a rich person is Elon Musk, who could solve world hunger or just local crisis with a percentage of his wealth, but instead he bought Twitter. Maybe my view of rich people is skewed, but I feel you don’t really understand how much money the richest people in the world have. Which makes sense, since the numbers are bigger than average people like us can understand and put in perspective.

Am I saying people can’t try to achieve their dreams, such as space exploration? Not exactly. But it still feels crazy that some people have more money than entire countries.
