If I cure cancer I will get very rich. And a bunch of people on this site will apparently find my sudden wealth outrageous.



I don't understand how you're pissed with Elon Musk getting rich with his own money but not pissed at your politicians getting rich with yours.

Elon becoming a trillionaire has exposed the most horrific financial injustice on the planet: Too many people understand nothing about how things work and to make matters worse can’t even do basic math.


If you have a problem with Elon Musk being a Trillionaire, it’s because you’re a Communist.







elon being worth $1 trillion does not mean elon has $1 trillion in the bank. most of the people i see arguing for a 5% annual wealth tax appear to be willfully misunderstanding this.



One core underlying assumption in the “tax the rich” discourse that’s just flat out false is the idea that the government is better at allocating capital than the folks who create billions (or trillions) in enterprise value themselves.

“Bernie, your socialism would never allow a SpaceX to be built.” Hey Bill, who got man to the moon? Was it the government or the private sector?
