it has made them more successful than they ever could have dreamed.

Thanks for reading what I wrote; I half didn't expect you to, so thank you for that. That said, I agree with you -- except for this. Today, right now, they are more successful than they could have ever dreamed.

But today isn't forever, and this is not over.

Even if everything comes crashing down, they have made enough money that they can easily shuffle around and ensure their prosperity.

Maybe, maybe not. A thing about groups is that they tend to have weak links, and when one falls multiples fall rapidly thereafter.

Imagine, if you will, a post-Trump legal landscape wherein all those files he tried so hard to hide got wikileaked, many of the ones who are protecting him now have turned their backs and the ones who are left are overruled, and every one of his "deals" as well as those of everyone around him are being picked over with a fine-tooth comb. What will Musk have then? A lot of legal bills, a fading star, and not what he craves the absolute most: attention and plaudits that salve his massive insecurities. The money will bleed out too, but that will happen over time.

Imagine being on the highest of the high mountains like fElon, and then sliding down it foot by foot for the rest of your miserable existence, grabbing at tufts of grass and kicking at rocks to get back up to where you will never be again. These exalted positions will disappear as fast as they appeared, and we don't know how, and we don't know when, but they are not permanent.

And that's only one minor possibility: there are still infinite outcomes here, and far too many involved persons for the perps to control or even foresee.

And this:

Everything we were taught about the importance of morals and it’s relationship to success is a lie.

As written, well yeah. It always was. That's simple disillusionment, if your idea of success is limited to massive wealth. Our own is not, but to be honest the survivor I am with has transformed what I believe about success anyway, as I have watched them grab win after win on a personal level where I honestly thought further progress was doomed. I swear sometimes I think they are a phoenix, rising up from the ashes again and again just because their will to overcome is so immense, but then the days of pure exhaustion and defeat come as well, which is the place your first comment was written from. I am very familiar with it.

Now you've said who the perps are, and today, in this minute, you are absolutely right. Yet the really important question, another one I learned from a survivor, is this: who do YOU want to be? Because in the end, none of the perps matter past their crimes. As far as we are concerned they are over, less than, not worthy. But to your life, you do matter. So do you personally want to be someone who only practices morality for the promised gold at the end of its Johnny-do-good rainbow, or do you want to be a genuinely moral person who is moral wherever they find themselves, doing the right thing because it's the right thing to do and that's just the kind of person you are?

I ask this because, to borrow a metaphor, everyone who is bit by a vampire has the choice of becoming a vampire. Everyone who is abused has the choice of becoming abused. Everyone whose life has been hollowed out by evil has the choice of responding to that by becoming evil themselves.

To me, if you manage to retain your own innate goodness in spite of, and in active battle against, the evil that was done to you, that is no small thing.

And I guess that's what I am asking of you. In your frustration, stop perpetrating the lie that this is all helpless and hopeless and that the only forms of success or justice are the exact ones defined and -- for now, anyway -- withheld by the perpetrators.
