This is who our society holds up as highly developed humans?

This is the type of person our society holds up as a highly developed human being? In terms of balance and integrity he's no more disciplined than a street dog.    https://www.wsj.com/articles/elon-musk-affair-sergey-brin-wife-divorce-11658674840

People say Elon is very intelligent, a strategic thinker, a hard worker, etc. I don't know if anybody holds him up as highly developed, whatever that means.

How many of us, if faced with practically unlimited power, money, and the ability to sleep with other billionaire's trophy wives, wouldn't succumb to the temptation?

You're lucky if the worst someone like Elon Musk is doing is having consensual sex with other adults. He could be going to Epstein island, making a sex cult, or creating his own private military to take over a small island country and install himself as dictator.

Why are you trying to hold ordinary business people to unrealistically high standards? Nobody holds Elon Musk up, he lifted himself up.

@YarcoAccording to capitalism and modern US standards, Elon Musk is regarded as highly developed.

"How many of us, if faced with practically unlimited power, money, and the ability to sleep with other billionaire's trophy wives, wouldn't succumb to the temptation?" 

To even want to put yourself in such a position, you'd have to be at a certain level of consciousness (I'd prefer being at a higher level in my opinion). You certainly do a lot of justifying for Musk.  Guys like Thich Nhat Hanh for example could have turned Plum Village into a cult of any kind if he wanted to. He didn't. That's a highly developed human being.

90% of people aren't at a higher level of consciousness and never will be. Only 10% of people in the world are spiral dynamics stage yellow, and even the majority of those aren't enlightened/awakened.

90% of people will be corrupt devils if you give them near-unlimited power. Elon Musk isn't a perfect role model, but he's a good enough role model for the era he lives in.

I'm not above it. I know I'd do horrible things with that amount of money and power. The temptation is way too great. Hell, most people would do horrible things even if you just made them the admin of a large Discord server.

Elon already said this is fake and they are still friends and he barely knows his wife

Why does any of this matter?

I see it more of a reflection on how we worship money and those who have it.
