Billionaires lend against those assets, so they can buy stuff. Does Musk sit under a bridge, 'cause he has “only assets”? Where does the money come from?
He lends against his assets. Once the bank wants to collect, his assets are worth more, so he lends more and stays afloat. Bonus points: he’s saving on taxes now, 'cause he’s in so much debt.
If everybody had those shares, they could play the lending game as well. Only, they can’t, because nobody lends against one share ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Meanwhile everybody could vote for a party that supports universal healthcare and UBI. Musk is not the problem. Focussing on Musk distracts from the possibility that the next election can change everything.
