There is no particular mystery to unravel around the political views of Elon Musk, the billionaire technology and social media executive. He is — and for some time, has been — on the far right wing of American politics. He is an enthusiastic purveyor of far-right conspiracy theories, using his platform on the website X to spread a worldview that is as extreme as it is untethered from reality.
Dude, I went through so many people looking for someone famous and well regarded in a semi-prestigious field who isn’t outlandishly wealthy. TIL that Gabe Newell has 3 billion freakin’ dollars.

He’s daydreaming about going all Gordon Ramsay on the LKML after the photo shoot.
Academics and artists strike me as the obvious examples, depending of course. You may get properly wealthy people in those categories, in that they’re technically financially independent if they want to be … but no where near “I’m gonna go buy a company” wealthy.
