What do you think about Elon Musk? He is the richest person on the planet? Certainly he is better than Bill Gates :-)?
So for now Elon is not richest, but at lest Bill Gates is 4th ;-)

Musk is better than Gates because he is doing what he knows and what he is good at, not thinking he should run the world.

Nobody who uses federal reserve notes is the 'richest' anything on the planet. It is worthless government fiat currency representing permission granted by the government to purchase things they can seize on a whim, travel only by permission and strict oversight, engage only in 'licensed' commerce and leave nothing by inheritance of any real value to anyone.
In effect, a person with the 'most' federal reserve money is the most strictly controlled slave on earth. An average person in the middle class has more actual 'wealth,' personal liberty and influence, especially when viewed in terms of generations. The government keeps people like Musk fat, happy and under extreme oversight because he is a dangerous savant.
Real wealth is anything we can pass on to others that only grows in value with proper care and skill, universally valuable skills and knowledge, and objects produced by the above which have little value when 'seized' or 'stolen' but great value to families and communities. Musk has NONE of those. Neither do any of the top twenty 'richest' people on earth.

Musk is constantly creating and developing. Bill Gates is allowing himself to
be used as a poster boy for what ever the left is supporting these days,

At least he doesn't set on his money and demand more like Trump. Musk invests his money for future generation projects like space travel electric cars just to name two major investments. Money is like fertilizer. Pile it up and let it set and it starts to stink. But spread it out and it starts doing good!

Having a lot of money doesn't make anyone better than everybody else. It's what a person does with their life and what God thinks about a person that really counts.
(Ecclesiastes 7:1) A good name is better than good oil,
As we live, we make names for ourselves—good names or bad names. If we act wisely in God’s eyes, we make a good name for ourselves with God.

Elon seems smart and quite a character. Overall, he is a good guy. And YES, Bill Gates sucks.

He isn't the richest, yet. But he owns paypal and spacex. I'm guessing one unforeseen breakthrough will surge him ahead of Jeff Bezos. He's certainly more respectable than the other tech billionaires.

Bezos is the richest now.
