I think the general observation is two fold to be honest. I dont really care how much money he has. I do think it is kinda funny his answer was write a best selling book and you can be a millionaire too. Yeah man, that’s how a consumer driven economy works. That is the definition of capitalism. Produce a product lots of people want and you can get rich. This is exactly what Gates, Musk, and Bezos did.

The second part, the language pivot looks bad even if his core message remains the same. Like if your stump speech rallies against a socioeconomic class you suddenly become a part of, then you drop that class from your speech, it makes you look a little hypocritical.
