We've seen Charles's reaction when he's lost and regained his telepathy before. It's torture until he reigns the power in, and he's only able to do that due to decades of using it.
I'd be genuinely surprised if people made it out of their bedroom in 24 hours honestly. I reckon you'd get 30 seconds in and start hoping for death.

We both know the answer to that: For the same reason most superheroes that can solve all the world's ills don't.

2.) The luck of Domino.
3.) The intelligence of Batman.
4.) The strength of Hulk.
5.) The TP of Xavier
6.) The Green Lantern ring of Hal Jordan.
7.) The technopathy of Hank Henshaw.
8.) The transmutational powers of Firestorm.Stips:
*No time shenanigans or loopholes whatsoever. You have these abilities for 24 hours in real time and that's it.
*You don't have any prior knowledge of how to use the ability you've selected... You go into this 'dry' as it were, and have to learn as you go.
7 for me. I’d switch my bank account with Elon Musk’s, and legally take control of Tesla.

Much of TP power level comes down to learned control. I dont think Xavier is anymore powerful now than earlier he's just more adept in its use. My own thought process is quite weird with random thoughts often popping into my head out of nowhere (I don't have the most stable mind) so figured I'd be a little pre disposed to deal with it.
Bottom line I just see myself being able to deal with TP to only pick up on thoughts ablot quicker than any other choice. No way am I likely to be able to effectively use a GL ring, technopathy or firestorms transmutation in less than a week. The othersbjust sound boring

The middle page panel is pretty much me now without TP. That's why I figured it would be the easiest one for me to adapt to (not much of a change from my normal state of a 1000 or so random unconnected thoughts every minute). I mean while I've been typing to the sentence before this one I've had thoughts about 5 ps games, two of my kids sports and, my sister, a few work friends, my home loan and the recently risen interest rate and 8 things I didn't get done at work a renovation were starting soon and 5 projects I have around the home(all intermixed)
Where as if I had
Quicksilver speed wouldn't do me much good when I have no cartridges in both knees and just walking is painful.
Firestorm transmutation would require knowledge I've not been up on for over 40 years since I did high school science
Technopathy would require knowledge outside my areas of expertise to even use effectively
Batman intelligence without his wealth and resources would be pretty useless
What the hell would I want with Hulk strength?
No other power choice is even usable for me within 2 weeks to a month. At least TP I have a chance of getting something useful from in the time frame

There's no way you'll have control, even minimal with Xavier level TP. You can't be serious.

Sounds like your mind is the exact opposite of mine. I'll get fixated on one thought, and nothing will shake me from it.
