Vergoldetes Zeitalter:

„Geplant sei quasi eine Art Rückkehr zum „vergoldeten Zeitalter“ nach dem US-Bürgerkrieg – also von 1865 bis Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Mark Twain wollte mit „vergoldet“ statt „golden“ zum Ausdruck bringen, dass es zwar einen enormen Aufschwung gab, große Teile der arbeitenden Bevölkerung daran aber nicht teil hatten und oft in elenden Verhältnissen lebten. Von der damaligen rasanten Industrialisierung profitierten vor allem Großindustrielle wie Andrew Carnegie, J. P. Morgan und John D. Rockefeller. Diese „Räuberbarone“ genannten Unternehmer akkumulierten enormes Vermögen – durch Monopole, Zölle und einen schwachen Staat, dem sie quasi ihnen genehme Gesetze diktierten.“

@BodyofBreen

He obviously has some technical skills and education, but he is also quite unpleasant socially.

I think of #AndrewCarnegie's phrase:

"The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced".

I haven't seen any evidence so far of Musk acting like he thinks he doesn't deserve his riches.

@PatrickoftheG This was mentioned to me by @mpjgregoire :

"I remember reading somewhere that #AndrewCarnegie wanted to fund a library in #Montréal, but it was blocked by the Church. On the other hand, most of the libraries (and schools) that existed in #Québec prior to the 1960s had been set up by the Church in the first place. The same agency, in the same place at one point democratising information, at another point restricting it..."

#AndrewCarnegie, the richest man of his day, and his fellow members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club, were directly responsible for the #Johnstown #Flood that killed over 2200 people.

Of course, that was in the benighted 19th century. In the modern 21st century, people like #ElonMusk can be responsible for the deaths of many, many more people without ever having to feel the sting of liability.
