The goal is to create hundreds of specialized coding and generative AI agents. 'It should be possible to simulate [Microsoft] entirely with AI,' Musk says.

I remember back when I was a kid it was hard to convince people that wealth and success was not a matter of being better, smarter, or harder working - as we were told - but rather almost entirely a matter of luck. Thankfully, Elon Musk has shown many people the light that I could not. Thank you, Elon

    Too many people are still convinced that Elon's wealth is attained through his hardwork alone.

    If wealth was the inevitable result of hard work and enterprise, every woman in Africa would be a millionaire. The claims that the ultra-rich 1% make for themselves – that they are possessed of unique intelligence or creativity or drive – are examples of the self-attribution fallacy.

    Yup. It is long past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.

    Billionaires are just people with uncontrolled hoarding disorder, but instead of hoarding cats, or junk cars, or magazines, they hoard money. If they hoarded anything else, the authorities would step in and clean up the place and get them medication, but because it's money, they get celebrated as successful businesspeople, and get loads of more government cash shoveled at them.
