A big part of the Hunger Games plot was Katniss wooing rich donors into backing her underdog campaigns, first as a contestant and then as a true revolutionary.
Mon Mothma was a mega-wealthy Corriscant socialite who built an underground financial network capable of financing the rebellion.
And those are just the fictional reflections of real historical revolutionary struggles. Class Traitors are a pivotal part of any anti-capitalist narrative and for good reason. A rebellion marches on its stomach.
Musk is still a coked-up ego-maniacal dipshit. But the idea that you just need a bumper crop of angry poor people to revolutionize a society has an extensive list of empirical refutations.
Not really related but I kinda thought the nickname Jennifer Lawrence had was kinda hilarious. She said something like she’d be too tired to shower and clean up sometimes during the filming that they eventually joked around calling her Katpiss Neverclean.
I can’t remember if she was upset about that or not it was so long ago. I hope it wasn’t too mean spirited.
So, I’m obligated to be that guy.

Musk is not that guy, but yeah, all resistance stories have rich people on the other side secretly financing them and providing access to things.
