TheMoneyIllusion » How many $s to tell the truth?

We all hold back on some unpleasant truths, at least now and then. That’s partly due to fear of angering co-workers, friends or family. We wish to be polite. But if I were rich enough, then I’d be able to say whatever I wish. I would have no fear of losing my job in response to a non-PC remark. And zillionaires always have loyal friends and family.

Or would I? Maybe there is no amount of money that would turn me into a completely honest man. Perhaps I’d still have all my current personality flaws, even if I became the richest man on Earth.

What do you think? In the comment section, tell me how high a net worth you’d need to feel confident expressing the unvarnished truth in 21st century America.

PS. This Matt Yglesias tweet caught my eye:

Elon is absolutely correct, on both points. I truly believe that.
