Elon Musk, the world’s richest person with an estimated net worth of $841.1 billion, has sparked a massive online debate after endorsing the age-old proverb that “money can’t buy happiness”. In a recent post, Musk wrote, “Whoever said ‘money can’t buy happiness’ really knew what they were talking about” with a sad face emoticon.Musk’s tweet has drawn a mix of philosophical agreement and sarcastic remarks. Some people joked that he should send them money so they could understand his point of view, while others pointed out that lack of money can stress one’s soul.Netizens react:“Yes, true! Money is everything and also nothing! Money can buy food, but it cannot buy appetite! Money can buy a bed, but it cannot buy sleep,” a user reacted.Another expressed, “Money might not guarantee happiness, but lack of it can stress your soul in ways people don’t talk about. Bills, responsibilities, expectations, those things quietly drain joy. You can still smile, laugh, and be grateful, but peace hits differently when you’re not constantly worried about survival.”A third commented, “Send me 1 million dollars so I can understand you.” A fourth added, “It’s easier to be philosophical when rent is covered.”
