On paper, he has a TRILLION dollars, but he can't make a single person happy. He can't make anyone he didn't pay laugh at his jokes, he can't buy love or respect or cool. It's one of the worst fates I could imagine, and that's aside from the misery and suffering and lives ruined he doesn't notice.

You can't even call Tesla shareholders a proper cargo cult though, because half the time Elon can't make the car go.
