Have you ever thought about what it would be like if Musk liquidated all his assets, holding 300 billion dollars, said goodbye to entrepreneurship, and dedicated himself fully to enjoying life? Buying sports cars, yachts, planes, living in a top villa, playing golf every other day, even buying an island to build a villa, surrounded by ten world-renowned chefs, with ingredients airlifted from around the globe—this is simply a real-life version of 'The Richest Man in Xihong City'!
However, in my view, such a life seems extremely luxurious but is actually hollow and boring. Musk's charm lies precisely in his relentless spirit of entrepreneurship that challenges limits and explores the unknown. If he had chosen to take it easy early on, would those world-changing innovations, like Tesla electric cars and SpaceX rockets, have ever emerged?
Wealth should not just be a number to squander; its true value lies in promoting human progress. If Musk abandons his dreams and chooses a life of indulgence, when he grows old, he will face not a regret-free life but endless emptiness. For ordinary people like us, this serves as a reminder that while pursuing material enjoyment is certainly not wrong, realizing one's self-worth is the true highlight of life.
What does everyone think? If you had 300 billion, would you choose to start a business or enjoy life?
