Regarding your previous post about Elon Musk and the social circles. I think a lot of people are forgetting that when you are networking that doesn't necessarily mean these people are your closest friends. It is more like connections of people you know, people you see in events, people who you ask favors from, people who ask favors of you, etc. These people aren't meant to be a part of your inner circle. They are human and are going to have flaws just like everyone else. Of course, there isn't a need to associate yourself with assholes but it is useless to put wealthy people on a pedestal. As long as you are slowly cultivating yourself a group of great, supportive, loving, loyal and intelligent women then you should be good.
Remember the goal isn't to be BFFs with every person you meet. It's to help elevate your life in a variety of ways (business, work, social life, etc.) but don't mistake it as a group of people that you will have strong emotional connections to. Make sure to not take everything you hard or observe too personally. If you don't come from a well-off family you already have the odds stacked against you. There isn't a need to add more psychological barriers to hinder your success.
As Barbie stated, you are going to find misogyny, racism, fatphobia, and so much other shit regardless of whether they are poor, middle class, upper middle class, or rich. There is no point in destroying your potential over that fear.
Also, I hate that so many people never saw how much of an idiot Elon Musk actually was. He never invented anything and he had a habit of taking technology that already existed and making it seem like he came up with something revolutionary. It took too long for certain people to know that he is just a shady businessman - not some tech messiah for humanity.
Exactly! People can (and will!) be shitty no matter what their social class or socioeconomic status. The important thing is that you know how to spot it and protect yourself, instead of venerating people based on a false pretense.
People treat people the way they can within the bounds of what they have. A poor man is going to do a woman dirty within the socioeconomic boundaries he has. A wealthier man will do the same, within his own. Men are men, no matter the social class or socioeconomic status. The idea that you’ll be entirely protected from maltreatment by moving up in the world is an image you have to break. (Look at Meghan, please!)
And yeah, the people who are venerated as geniuses are usually not. Especially in Silicon Valley and the VC world! Elon got a cult of personality built around him by a bunch of weird sycophantic journalists, and now we all have to suffer for it. He’s a dangerous loser and so is his entire family. Let him go, people!
