Elon could singlehandedly save the planet

Absolutely not.

Stop playing into his "genius" myth.

I don't think they meant "genius", I think they meant "with that amount of money"

That is also wrong, a trillion USD isn't enough by far to do that either.

Society should not allow a single individual to accumulate so much money and, consequently, power.

*Known trillionaire.

I bet the Rothschilds got there decades ago, but they keep their finances close to their chest. Elon is a braggart.
