- 745k are homeless in the US
- medical bills are the #1 cause of bankruptcy
- over 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck
- bottom 80% of Americans have just 7% of the wealth
Yet this criminal is now a trillionaire. We’re a failed country.

Elon Musk, the wealthiest person alive, becomes the first-ever trillionaire as SpaceX stock begins trading abcnews.com/Business/space…

@chrisdmowrey You can afford to spend more time in a soup kitchen, or doing other volunteer work.
What's your point?
English
Yeah, I think he can afford to pay a little bit more in taxes, actually.

🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk becomes world’s first trillionaire, following Space X IPO.
English
@OrevaZSN No there isn't. You're thinking of Monopoly, but that's a construct of government regulation and market interference.
English
@420GHz Ah yes, blame the failures of communism and socialism on the CIA.
I love how the socialist and communist propaganda works by calling everything they don't like propaganda.
English
@actingliketommy Yes, it's still on paper.
Having stocks worth millions of dollars, is not the same thing as having millions of dollars in your bank account.
English
So let me get this straight...
When we try to tax the wealthy they say "it's only on paper, it's not real!"
But today those same clowns are all saying, "Elon made 4,400 people millionaires today!"
So they're just millionaires on paper, right? Or is stock wealth real now?

@ASheepdogsBlog @ReedHawk2 @VCHK_LVNA "Simplified". The definition I provided comes from economic philosophers who've studied and argued about what capitalism entails.
In other words, I've read works by capitalist philosophers, in college, and beyond.
You project.

@Coolblew02 Explain to me why anyone else's wealth is your business?
English
Explain to me what does one single human being need with all that money?

@ICXCsRedneck Even more so, because their desire for your property can change on a whim.
Today, they may not want it. Tomorrow, they may!
English
The only difference between personal and private property is whether edgy internet commies want to steal it.
English
@JaneDoe70213693 Why not? Seems easier than taking responsibility and making the necessary changes to one's life.

@leigh_fall @SnowHimbo @toddjersey Nope, that was amazing. I still celebrate it every December 26. The holidays sure are an amazing time of year!
English
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. This needs to be a wake up call.
English
@esjesjesj Weird, I thought socialists and communists were all for communal and public funding of health care.

JUST IN: Elon Musk is projected to be worth $1.39 trillion this year
English
@AstroTerry Elon didn't put anyone at risk for cutting aid.
The people who were receiving aid should have been doing something about their inability to produce in the first place. They should have been doing something to not need the aid. Now they have a fire lit under their asses.
English
Now that Elon is a trillionaire, I wonder if he would give a little bit of his wealth to help feed the millions of the world's poorest people that he put at risk of starvation when he destroyed USAID?
English
@jonfavs The issue isn't that the aid was cut, the issue is that people don't build up their own infrastructure to produce food.
The cuts didn't kill them, their lack of building did.
English
Elon Musk held up a chainsaw, fed USAID into the wood chipper, and at least 600,00 people have already died as a result - two-thirds of them children.
History's first trillionaire.

English
@esjesjesj Ok, so maybe those people should do more valuable work, and use the resulting increased wages to buy healthcare?
Maybe we should prevent governments from manipulating markets, including healthcare markets?
English
People die of preventable illnesses because they can’t afford healthcare

@NoJusticeMTG Engineers were certainly part of the process, but no, Elon built them. Elon organized everything, brought everyone together, and directed the operations.
That stuff wouldn't have been built were it not for Elon.
Not a fan of his by the way.
English
engineers built this stuff btw - the one thing Elon built looked like shit and exploded

@litcapital Why bother? Socialists and communists are retarded. They don't understand how markets work (or economics, or politics, or history, or logic, or empathy, or ethics, or morality).
English
@changingstar0 It does actually make sense because in a capitalistic system, the government wouldn't have the ability to manipulate the market.
Capitalism and cronyism are incompatible with each other, like water and oil.
English
When people are allowed to accrue egregious sums of money, they will use that money to capture political institutions. This is the inevitable consequence, so parsing the two doesn’t make much sense

@GunnelsWarren If removing aid leads to death, the issue isn't with the aid being removed. The issue lies with the people receiving the aid.
English
Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, while he single handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.
English
Capitalism is great because instead of everyone getting housing and healthcare, one guy gets to be a trillionaire!
