Just gonna include this comment from an alternate thread for this post in the thread here, don't mind me:
barefootbaltimore:
Also what is it that people dont understand about money and assets being a finite resource. The more one person has the less there is for everybody else. Thats just. How it works. Like the money has to come from somewhere and if he has a trillion dollars of it then a lot of other people arent getting any.
Found another good comment over in this Reddit thread in r/AlwaysWhy:
Forsaken_Instance_55:
Tax him 80% for the public good. That’s $800 billion that could provide health care for the poor, school lunches, etc. That also leaves $200 billion for himself to use however he wants.
If only making $200 billion kills your ambition or drive, then fuck you. You didn’t deserve it anyway
You cannot have democracy AND capitalism AND trillionaires. It won’t work
Lastly, regarding the comments (in this post's main comment thread) about how he could possibly still have bootlicking simps battling for him online, I'll also throw in this comment from that same Reddit thread:
0zymandeus:
Elon has been paying to have his name and reputation artificially boosted on social media for years. Since at least his early days at Tesla.
It's not like he's going to stop now that he's a trillionaire.
