Elon Musk may soon become the world's first trillionaire as SpaceX goes public. If so, he will have a once-in-human-history opportunity to transform the lives of millions living in desperate poverty.
Mr. Musk has demonstrated extraordinary intelligence, vision, and determination. Yet the ultimate measure of a life is not the wealth accumulated but the suffering relieved. Between the bookends of birth and death, our common Creator judges us not by our bank accounts but by how we treat the least among us.
Jesus repeatedly taught that caring for the poor, the hungry, the sick, and the marginalized is among humanity's highest responsibilities. Wealth can build monuments to ego, or it can become a force for compassion and human dignity.
At a time when billions struggle for food, clean water, healthcare, education, and shelter, Mr. Musk has a unique opportunity to leave a legacy far greater than rockets, satellites, or financial records. He can help lift God's poorest children from despair to hope.
History remembers not only what we achieved, but whom we helped. That is the wealth that endures.
