why would somebody want to be Elon musk?
it’s an honest question.
let’s say you are not Elon Musk and you’ll never be Elon Musk.
let’s say you have a chance to become Elon Musk.
step in and be him.
you stop being you.
he takes your place.
why would you want to do that?

The jealousy argument never held water for me even as a kid.
here’s what I would get:
“Mom, this person does not like me. I don’t know why”
_ they are just jealous of you_
“they are not jealous. They just don’t like me and i don’t know why._
_oh they are just jealous of you, all your (list of qualities and achievements)_
it was nice to hear those things, but I knew that was a lie.
but I don’t understand why somebody would be jealous of somebody else.
sound ridiculous.
they didn’t like me because I annoyed them.
I knew that.

if you guys switched places right now, and he didn’t bring his money with him, what would he do for your life that you can’t do?
—
just him. no money. No contacts. no name dropping.
he has access to everything you have and has to use your name and identity but it’s him.
what would be different that was better?
