trump actually he has never gotten introuble for anything, verge of failing classes but the professor pittied and passed him, everyone he sued or was sued, he alwasy won in the end. plus the people he raped, and trafficked. reality warping, like chilling adventures of sabrina(the wishing imp) where the father made himself emperor and everyone worshipped him. and yes suddenly Russia coming to his rescue when all his businesses started to fail.
i think ELon has enough stacked against him, even other rich people dont want to be close to him, like epstein, hes too odd even for them.
Taylor Swift. Utterly mediocre pop music somehow gets her a billion dollars and the undying loyalty of like half the US population. If that isn't some genie shit I don't know what is.
She was mediocre at first but shes been cooking pretty hard with her preformances and the scale of everything. I think shes earnt her billion. She could take over most nations with the army of fans she has.
her parents put her through all the neccesary steps to get her career, plus moved her to tenneesee to "Seem poor". people seem to ignore she hangs out with MAGAS, and likely is marrying(closet maga) one herself.
I would assume that the fact that everyone in the world doesn't worship him as a god is either due to limitations to the genie's power or Trump being bad at wording wishes.
It's luck all the way down. Nobody is ultimately responsible for everything they have (or haven't) achieved in life.
They didn't choose the place they were born in, they didn't choose the parents they were born to, they didn't choose their genetics and if you believe in such a thing, they didn't choose their soul either. They didn't choose to be healthy, they didn't choose to be able-bodied, they didn't choose to be driven, intelligent, lazy, anxious, charismatic or any of the other traits that end up shaping what they do with their life.
Everything that follows from that point is just the unfolding of those starting conditions plus whatever random events and influences came afterwards. There is no separate "you" standing outside of all that and freely deciding how to play the hand. The feeling of choosing is real as an experience, but the choice itself is the product of prior causes.
We do things for two reasons: either we want to or we have to. There is no third option. And we don't get to pick what we want either.

Elon Musk. I am convinced he made a deal with the Devil.

Those dude doesn't care if Swifties hear him. He fears nothing. Probably correct though.

if she wasnt a nepo baby, she wouldve never made it without her parents.

You could say the same of Mozart. Lots of nepo babies turn out good work.
The lack of opportunity is a problem for everyone else. You have to wonder how many Mozarts died in poverty.

Starting out with limitless money and support, anybody could do anything they want. And that's exactly what Taylor has done.

When daddy buys all your CDs when starting out so you get airtime. That sure helped.

Trump. He obviously wished for immunity from all consequences of any actions
