They tried to rig the game, but you can’t fake influence.
Money can buy everything but it can’t buy respect. Nobody respects Musk getting to level 90+ in SSF HC PoE2 because he just bought his way there. Nobody respects him on Twitter, because he bought his way there. Nobody respects Tesla, because (say it with me kids) he bought his way there.
Money can absolutely buy respect the problem is fuckwad is too stupid to know how, for example he could bankroll building functional replicas of historic vehicles and weapons for museums which would earn him some respect. That’s assuming he doesn’t want to help the poor and build public libraries like Rockefeller or Carnegie.
