Make More Than Take

“Anyone who wants to ‘make’ more than they ‘take’ —has my respect.” (Elon Musk) Refreshing words, in a world where razing lives instead of raising lives is almost the air most breathe in this generation. Whether politics, social media, or war—kindness and understanding, wisdom and hope are almost extinct, replaced by a mindless piranha feeding frenzy (https://lnkd.in/gcDB4w9s). 

Here are some powerful questions, to Raise, rather than Raze… “What else could it be?” “What agenda or motives may be at work behind this attack?” “How might this have been misrepresented, AI, or someone’s ego-vengeance?” “Am I really so much better?” and “What childhood or later experiences might have happened to have created this problem? How can we help heal and redeem?”

There is “an Example that we should follow in his steps.” Not simply “believe what he said” …but live as he lived.

Orphans are OUR-phans.

Heal, not heel. Raise, not raze.

Elon Musk was asked for his best advice to entrepreneurs. His answer was simple:

“Anyone who wants to make more than they take has my respect.”

He said the goal isn’t to chase money, but to build things people truly value.
Money follows usefulness the same way happiness follows meaningful work.

His core idea:

Create value greater than the effort you put in.
Expect the grind.
Accept the risk.
Aim to be a net contributor.

Everything else is a byproduct.

Do you agree? Where do you think most founders focus too much on the wrong thing?
