"The protective layer is described as a new nanoparticle-based paint that allows 94% of solar energy to pass through."

Imagine getting a large scratch on this car, it will probably cost the same as a second hand regular car to get it repainted.

If a serious illness can wipe your savings or you need to go under a 30 year loan to buy a flat, you are not living comfortably. If you work your ass off but still have to sacrifice from your comfort or wishes during a holiday season then you are not living comfortably. If you need to trade any one of these for the other or any of these for your kid's education then you are not living comfortably. And many people don't.

And would it be a problem if the billionaires ate you?

They already are eating everyone who is weaker than them.

I think what people generally mean, atleast here, are the billionaires.

Unfortunately you and your family can not live securely or comfortably on this forsaken earth without having substantial amount of saved money, which already makes you richer than quite a large chunk of people. For instance most middle income level savings can be completely wiped off by a single serious illness. So it is more understandable for people wanting to be somewhat rich so that they can live carefree their only one life. I have to note though, it is still a short coming of the society that you need to be rich to be comfortable, but anyways.

Wanting to be a billionaire? That is probably a symptom of some sort of mental illness (not an expert, personal opinion). Call it addiction to success (like addiction to gambling), sociopathic levels of lack of empathy or narcissism but they just can't stop trying to get more. I know a bunch of people who own their companies with ~hundred people working in it, producing useful stuff and what not and they are not even upwards of a millionaire. You don't go up in the billionaire game without finding shady ways of hoarding power and influence. At the least you have to kill competition and create monopoly. And in worst cases we have people like Elon Musk who meddle in the political affairs of other countries and support right wing extremism so that he gains a bit more influence. Or we have people like Ellison who would rather have the whole world turn into obedient money milking cows so that what, a hundred people in the billionaire narcissists club can live like emperors?

So eat the billionaires? Don't mind if we do.
