Elon frames life success as a physics-style equation: total utility equals the number of people you helped, multiplied by how much help you provided each one, on average. This collapses vague moralizing about 'making a difference' into a tractable optimization problem with a defined variable. The surprising corollary: making a big difference to a small number of people is roughly equivalent to making a small difference to a vast number — the products are similar.
