Why Elon's Trillion = Carnegie's Millions (The Fiat Illusion Exposed)

<p>Elon Musk is officially a trillionaire. Naturally, people are calling it yet another failure of capitalism, and I'm calling BS. </p>
<p>I compared his wealth to Andrew Carnegie’s fortune. On paper, Musk’s number looks insane, but when you measure them against the total money supply of their eras, the truth completely flips. I believe we aren't seeing runaway capitalism, but we are simply measuring success with a broken tape measure. </p>
<p>I explain why fiat is failing, why you should be mad at central banks instead of builders, and how we finally opt out. </p>
