Musk isn’t worth US$800B, it’s how much he’s been permitted to hoard.
No one can earn a billion dollars, that level of wealth concentration can only ever be forcibly extracted from the work of millions of others, or gifted from someone who did.
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
This isn’t about the symbolism. This is about the actual machines. I think they’re cute. We’re at least chopping up some watermelon even if we run out of billionaires.
Why, you would gain nothing and the best case you will vaporize an industry that is the last flight to keep some jobs in the countries before they moved to China byd
