"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages." -- Adam Smith, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, 1776

Listen, it's pretty simple. Where I have a real choice, I will attempt to make the best choice available. That's what money is. The very voting mechanism that drives capitalism. A bit more conceptually solid than Mr Smith's invisible hand.
And, by the way. With Mr Musk, I definitely have a choice.
