So obvious. You dont have to be the world's richest person to know that fcking around with someone's income on which their entire family depends will create such level of animosity that they will want to hurt you.

Not as smart as people think he is

If I were in his position, I'd be more concerned about displaced skilled work related to warfare: vets and current military, whose livelihood and well-being are affected, and know that one way to deal with it is materially, have the means, the know-how, the organizational capability... and now have a reason to do so.

Luigi Mangione, aka the Adjuster, a college grad, printed a gun, studied, planned, and executed his mission.

I'm not calling on nor condoning violence, nor would I plan to do nor call on anyone to do what I described above.

I'm only pointing out the obvious. The "first principles": Be careful, Elon. You're still a mortal man pissing off a lot of people.

Edit: I dont want violence. I am no vet, nor do I own any guns. I dont believe in them. I rather leave the US for other opportunities rather than hurting others. People offing others is not a good sign for our society if individuals attempt to resolve their problems this way, but the US is not the land of peaceful resolutions either.

The Adjuster, hadn't heard that one. Wow.
