If you're angry that Elon Musk is now a Trillionaire, you have the wrong mindset. Elon becoming a Trillionaire literally has nothing to do with you. The global economy is worth roughly $100 trillion per year. There's roughly $1 QUADRILLION in global assets. That's 1,000 trillion. Elon's net worth is equivalent to 0.1% of the world's total asset base. The other 99.9% exists with or without Elon. If you're actually angry that Elon is now a Trillionaire, what's really happening is that you've either: a) have lost hope in having a good future because of circumstances in your life b) you're wasting too much time ingesting garbage information, which is taking time away from materially improving your life's circumstance or c) you're a jealous person that needs a lot of introspection. For example - there are literally thousands of people who have worked at SpaceX that are now officially MILLIONAIRES because of the work they've put in. They didn't steal it from anyway. They literally created this value out of thin air by working EXTREMELY HARD and making EXTREMELY USEFUL technology - reusable rockets. So instead of being angry that Elon is now a Trillionaire, instead channel that energy into building something that you would be proud of and society can massively benefit from. You can actually do it. There's literally nothing stopping you but yourself. Set aside your fear, anger, or whatever other block you have, and FORCE YOURSELF to do something big. As you can very clearly see, you will be rewarded for it MASSIVELY. There's no better time than now.

Today’s flood of Western media hit pieces and ridiculous commentary on Elon and SpaceX is yet another sign that the West is rotting from the inside. EVEN the Chinese Communists treat their national champions with more respect than these pathetic hacks. The CCP and its state mouthpieces aren’t half as deranged with envy. They may leash guys like Jack Ma and slap them down hard when they step out of line, but at least they’re smart enough to understand that they need their best talent and innovators to deliver prosperity for their people, dominate global markets, project raw power across the planet, and forge their nation into a ruthless superpower. The Chinese see them as vital strategic national assets and would never publicly insult or attack the ambitious, high-achieving mindset that creates these winners in the first place. SpaceX is, without a doubt, America’s national champion. Elon built the first reusable orbital rockets (Falcon 9), slashed launch costs, launched more missions in a single year than entire nations, revived American space dominance, sent NASA astronauts to the ISS aboard Crew Dragon, built the Starlink constellation that now beams high-speed internet to millions across the globe (including battlefields and disaster zones), and is developing Starship - the most powerful fully reusable rocket ever built, designed to make humanity an inter-planetary species. Yet the Western press and Democratic officials are almost unanimously attacking the one man going above and beyond to secure prosperity, technological supremacy, and raw national strength for our civilization. These people are vile soul-sucking wreckers who despise all excellence. The only thing they can produce is endless grievance and failure. All they know to do is tear down the successful, insult greatness, and wallow in their own mediocrity.

Sandwich Shop Test. If a guy makes a trillion dollars, and you want to take the trillion dollars, and you say you will use the trillion dollar better than the guy who makes it... Run a small sandwich shop at a continuous profit for five years. Then you can tell me your plan. Otherwise, it's not worth my time to even listen.

Piketty refait surface pour proposer de confisquer la fortune des milliardaires et la mettre dans un "fonds public". Toute son œuvre repose sur une seule formule : r > g. Le rendement du capital dépasserait la croissance, donc les riches deviendraient mécaniquement toujours plus riches, donc il faut confisquer. Laissez-moi vous expliquer pourquoi cette prémisse est fausse, au niveau d'un enfant de 8 ans, puisque c'est apparemment le niveau requis pour la croire. Imagine que Kevin a un coffre magique. Piketty te dit : le coffre de Kevin grossit de 5% par an tout seul, la boulangerie de papa grandit de 2% par an, donc dans 100 ans Kevin possédera toute la ville. C'est ça, r > g. Tout son livre de 970 pages, c'est ça. Le petit problème : le coffre magique n'existe pas. Dans la vraie vie, le capital ne se reproduit pas tout seul. Il faut l'allouer. Chaque année, il faut redécider où va chaque euro, et la plupart des gens décident mal. Le "r" de Piketty est une moyenne qui cache un champ de ruines : pour un Bernard Arnault, des milliers d'héritiers qui dilapident, des fonds qui sous-performent, des empires qui s'évaporent. Vérifions avec le test le plus simple du monde. Si r > g était une loi mécanique, les fortunes de 1900 domineraient toujours. Où sont les Vanderbilt ? Les Carnegie ? En 1987, le Top 10 mondial était dominé par des héritiers et des propriétaires fonciers japonais. Aujourd'hui : Musk, Bezos, Page, Huang. Des gars qui codaient dans leur chambre. La liste Forbes est une machine à laver, pas une dynastie. L'homme qui est devenu trillionnaire ce matin n'a pas hérité d'un coffre. Il a failli faire faillite deux fois en 2008. Son "r" est passé par -100% avant de passer par l'hyperespace. Voilà ce que la formule de Piketty ne peut pas voir : le rendement du capital est la rémunération du risque et du génie d'allocation, pas un loyer automatique. Et le plus drôle : quand le capital reste vraiment passif, comme dans le modèle de Piketty, il fond. Inflation, frais, impôts, érosion concurrentielle. Le capital qui dort meurt. La seule façon d'obtenir du "r", c'est de créer de la valeur pour quelqu'un. La formule décrit un monde qui n'existe nulle part, sauf dans les amphis de l'École d'économie de Paris. D'ailleurs même ses données ont craqué. Le Financial Times a relevé des erreurs de calcul dans ses séries dès 2014. Et les travaux de Piketty-Saez-Zucman sur l'explosion des inégalités américaines ont été méthodiquement démontés par Auten et Splinter dans le Journal of Political Economy : une fois les transferts et impôts correctement comptés, l'inégalité après redistribution n'a presque pas bougé en 60 ans. Toute la panique repose sur des choix méthodologiques militants. Ce qui m'amène à Zucman. L'ironie est délicieuse : l'homme qui a passé sa vie à dénoncer l'héritage a produit un héritier. Même méthode, même biais, mêmes données contestées, ambition fiscale en plus. Sa fameuse taxe sur le patrimoine des "ultra-riches" taxerait des plus-values qui n'existent que sur le papier. Concrètement, la taxe Zucman forcerait chaque fondateur français à vendre des morceaux de sa boîte chaque année pour payer l'impôt sur une valorisation qu'il n'a jamais encaissée. Vendre à qui ? Des fonds étrangers. Résultat garanti : les dernières entreprises françaises passent sous pavillon américain ou qatari, au nom de la justice sociale. Du génie. Et la proposition finale de Piketty est la meilleure partie : prendre l'argent investi dans des entreprises qui produisent, emploient et innovent, pour le confier à un "fonds public" géré par l'entité qui a accumulé 3 400 milliards de dette et qui perd de l'argent sur à peu près tout ce qu'elle touche depuis 50 ans. C'est demander au cancre de la classe de corriger les copies. Récapitulons. La formule est fausse empiriquement, les données sont contestées dans les meilleures revues du monde, la prescription détruirait les seuls acteurs qui créent, et le gestionnaire proposé est en faillite technique. Dans n'importe quelle science, on appellerait ça une théorie réfutée. En économie française, on appelle ça un best-seller. r > g n'a jamais été une loi économique. C'est un alibi mathématique pour le plus vieux programme politique du monde : prendre l'argent des autres.
Bad Pote@bad_pote

Écoutez, avec l’accent c’est encore mieux😄 “You take a big part, if not all of the wealth of billionaires and centimillionaires and you put it in a public fund” Cet argent au lieu de rester en valo dans des boîtes qui produisent et emploient, ils veulent le confier à ceux qui ont déjà des trillions de dette au compteur 🤡

Je reçois énormément de messages qui saluent ma “stratégie” Les gars, j’ai absolument aucune “stratégie” sur ce compte. Oui, j’utilise l’IA pour produire plus vite, plus structuré. Mais le fond, c’est 20 ans d’expérience distillée dans sur un compte X. D’un gamin qui a commencé à coder très tôt. Qui était en échec scolaire, car jamais rentré dans le moule. Qui a gagné plus d’argent que ses profs à 16 ans mais qui pensait qu’il était inférieur à un système qu’il avait broyé partiellement. Je suis juste quelqu’un qui dit tout haut ce que tout le monde pense tout bas. Qui a eu la chance de côtoyer les couches les plus basses comme les milliardaires et comprendre la psychologie de chaque couche. C’est ça ma “chance”. J’ai rien de spécial. J’ai juste vu beaucoup d’exemples à différents niveaux. Juste ça…

If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good. The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX. And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen. Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.

If Space X was Australian every single one of those employees would be taxed at 47%! Their reward for taking the risk and the effort to becoming successful! Fortunately for them they aren’t in Australia. The Australian Labor Gov thinks it’s their right to this money! 47% of $2T certainly pays off their $1T debt bill pretty quickly! Unfortunately for them Australia will never have a Space X and the gov will miss out of 23.5% of any CGT that would have come in to pay off the debt! Time to leave Australia any aspiring entrepreneurs @GeoffWilsonWAM

Elon Musk criou, em um único dia, 4.400 novos milionários. Quase 400 deles ultrapassaram os US$ 100 milhões. Não são banqueiros nem investidores de risco. São funcionários da SpaceX: soldadores, técnicos, mecânicos e até funcionários da cantina. Durante vinte anos, a empresa pagou gente de todos os níveis com ações, não só com salário alto. Quem produziu colheu. Juan Hernandez, imigrante mexicano, aceitou um emprego de soldador por US$ 28 a hora em 2015, sem nem saber direito o que era a SpaceX. Recebeu uma pequena participação de US$ 10 mil e pôde comprar mais por desconto em folha. Hoje sua fatia vale US$ 880 mil. Trevor Hise ignorou os conselhos dos pais para pegar um emprego “seguro” na General Electric. Escolheu a SpaceX, ficou 12 anos e acumulou mais de 100 mil ações. Ao preço da listagem, são US$ 13,5 milhões. Aos 37 anos, ele já pode se aposentar. Palavras dele: “A magnitude disso é ridícula.” O detalhe mais eloquente veio antes mesmo da abertura de capital: mais de 100 funcionários se uniram discretamente para contratar uma gestora de fortunas capaz de cuidar de até US$ 5 bilhões. Muitos nunca tinham precisado de wealth manager na vida. Há décadas os IPOs de empresas de tecnologia enriquecem programadores. Desta vez, o dinheiro chegou ao chão de fábrica. Isso é capitalismo de verdade: quem arrisca, quem trabalha e quem entrega valor colhe frutos proporcionais. A esquerda odeia esse tipo de história. Porque ela prova que a verdadeira ascensão social não vem de dividir a miséria alheia, mas de criar riqueza que eleva quem tem coragem de construir.

The woke protesters in New York are holding signs saying, “STOP ELON • NO TRILLIONAIRES” and “ELON IS STEALING YOUR PENSION.” These slogans are pure nonsense. Elon Musk is the largest taxpayer on Earth. He is not stealing anyone’s pension. Elon has already helped save hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars by cutting wasteful government spending and inefficiency through DOGE. His companies are moving humanity forward and pushing the boundaries of technology. We all know who funds these attacks on Elon. This is the woke mind virus in its purest form.

“Elon Musk is a trillionaire.” As a securities law attorney, please allow me to explain how anyone who says this is basically lying to you: 1. The Securities and Exchange Commission has a myriad of laws that prevent founders and other large stockholders of publicly traded companies from dumping their shares. There are substantial holding period requirements, volume of sales limitations and public reporting obligations for stock sales. Basically, Elon holds largely illiquid shares, he is a “trillionaire” on paper only, and the best analogy is when people peg your net worth based on your home’s market price. That’s not money in your pocket, that’s the house you live in. 2. All that money raised in the IPO? That’s not going into Elon’s pocket like the lying socialist idiots want you to believe. It’s a capital influx that will be used to make more rockets and get more payloads into orbit. It’s a CAPITAL investment—that money is like a business loan, it’s not your money to keep, it’s your money to grow the business. 3. If it WERE legal for Elon to dump his shares, the share price would crash basically instantly and the company could very well fail. If you bought SpaceX shares in the IPO, congrats. You just bought a lottery ticket, just like Elon. May the odds ever be in your favor. So the next time someone screeches about how unfair it is that Elon Musk creates wealth that benefits all of humanity, throw the truth back in their faces.

The wake up call is for you, Senator. You have spent 30 years in government. Name one thing you built. One product, one service, one system that works. You can't. Your entire career consists of redistributing value created by others, and lecturing the people who create it. Elon built reusable rockets for less than what Washington spends in 3 hours. The government you represent spends $7 trillion a year and can't balance a budget, fix a border, or build a train. He did 100 times more with 100 times less. A trillionaire who earned it by serving billions of customers is not a problem. A bureaucrat who never created a dollar of value deciding how value should be allocated, that's the problem. The era of the builder is here. You can keep tweeting from the back seat of your government car, or you can step aside and watch. History remembers the people who build. It footnotes the ones who taxed them.

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. This needs to be a wake up call.

Elon has a trillion dollars because he built Tesla and SpaceX from scratch. How would we solve world poverty by confiscating the companies he built? We saw during COVID that millions of people plowed their stimulus payments into online gambling. We’ve also seen time and time again cases where idiots have won tens of millions of dollars in the lottery and then gone straight back to bankruptcy because they spent it on idiotic stuff. I am lifelong hater of the CCP but ironically the Chinese Communist Dengist approach - to get rich is glorious, let capital build up the productive forces, the ultra pragmatic Sichuanese maxim “it doesn’t matter whether a cat is black or white so long as it catches mice” - is sincerely better for the economic development of a society than the Ro Khanna/Warren/Bernie campaign to just confiscate assets and then incinerate the capital with stimmy payments fed into online gambling and Learing Center welfare fraud.

Why is there so much hate for Elon Musk right now? He just became the world’s first trillionaire… And suddenly everyone’s furious. But this is the same guy creating thousands of jobs, building electric cars, reusable rockets, and pushing technology forward. What exactly is the crime? Succeeding? Innovating? Creating value? I genuinely don’t understand the level of hate.

Protesters wrote “STOP MUSK” on the road today in protest of SpaceX’s IPO. Stop Elon Musk from doing what exactly? • Helping people with paralysis regain independence and working to restore vision through Neuralink? • Accelerating the world’s transition to electric vehicles, solar energy and battery storage through Tesla? • Making rockets reusable and working to make humanity multiplanetary through SpaceX? • Connecting remote communities and restoring communications during disasters through Starlink? • Building maximum truth-seeking AI through xAI? • Restoring free speech on 𝕏? Elon Musk is dedicating his companies to advancing humanity and building a better future for civilization. Who is funding these paid protests against Elon and what are they so afraid of?
