TRIGGERnometry · Trump Is the Greatest At One Law Of Power — And It Could Destroy Him - Robert Greene · 22 Apr 2026 podcast

So it depends on where you are in life and how people will view you.

But...

know if if i appear to be confident so let's take confidence is a very important component in the power game right so if i convince myself that i am powerful that i am confident that i am worthy of attention and getting things that i want it creates this kind of self-fulfilling dynamic

People read off of you that you're confident, and they assume that it comes from something real.

And so you can get power just by creating this facade, right?

And it can be very real.

I think of someone like Elon Musk, okay, who's, you know, we can just say whatever we want about him, but he's very brilliant at the marketing side of things, right?

So here he is, he's got Tesla Motor Company, which has just started out.

And to start your own automobile company is incredibly difficult.

It requires an awful lot of capital, okay?

And you're starting a new kind, you know, electric cars, etc.

And so he creates this myth that he is this incredibly innovative, forward-thinking person.

I'm not saying it's completely unreal, but he creates this myth, this aura around him.

That aura now creates this dynamic where people want to fund his company.

He goes public, and he gets massive amounts of capital from the aura, the appearance he creates of somebody who is very future-oriented.

That appearance translates into millions, billions of dollars coming into his company from his stock, which now allows him to build the company to make it more powerful.

So the appearance of power can draw power to you.

Now, if somebody has a gun and you're pretending to be something that you're not, then they can go ahead and shoot you.

Yeah, of course, they're the ones in control.

It's very important, I talk to this a lot about people, what is your leverage in a situation, right?
