Why exactly did we need tariffs on EVs? Because it sure looks like Biden put those in place to protect the business interests of a Nazi who is now a trillionaire.
benefited from his equally abhorrent dad, who owned at least part of an emerald mine that gave him his starting fortune.
we are already counting over an estimated million deaths (mostly children) as a direct result for him making those super duper funding cuts for basically any basic needs for the poorest and most in need, all to mildly chip away at the cos of the super duper tax cuts the world’s richest were getting at the same time.
not just a “killer,” he’s the world’s richest person and he directly decided that mountains of children should die. how can you define a cartoon villain? he is so evil that he looks like a parody of evil.
2 things he did was stop all investigations against himself and his companies, and not stop his trillion payout, + also hobbling the epstein files.
Every empire of wealth is built on the suffering of others. The only one I can think of that isn’t is Dolly Parton’s.
Asshole of the world.
In 2020, Elon Musk was worth around $25 billion dollars.
Eat the rich.
If I had a dollar for every dollar Elon Musk made earnestly, I’d have like twenty bucks. He’s a figurehead that is being used to hold that much money and act all childish because the alt-right pipeline starts in middle school and unsocialized boys look up to him and thus branch into STEM. The FBI does a similar thing with influencers they use as the centerpiece to cults of personality to create means in which to keep an eye on and investigate certain archetypes in the culture, as well as provide propaganda to.
Its insane the thing he did with the stock offering where he gets stock every time they produce stock. He has made so many bad decisions he should be a story about a rich guy who lost it all but because we have eliminated tax on the rich its now almost impossible to lose money.
I doubt the second and third trillionaires won’t also be killers
Isn’t all excessive wealth built on suffering?
It doesn’t have to be, but those are the incentives we have set up
I think I know what you might be suggesting.
Instead of an extravagant lifestyle only for a small few as a result of their intercepting and concentrating the majority of the labor output, all people could live a similarly extravagant lifestyle if the system were to change entirely.
It would require a massive shift, including off-world resource acquisition and hugely increased energy generation as the amount of both required for every person alive to live in luxury vastly exceeds that which is available on earth, but it’s not impossible to complete without causing others to suffer. That’s just the easy route for the planet’s wealthy sociopaths.
really curious how you think someone could obtain a trillion dollars without exploiting others
I can only think of one: massive inflation à la 2008 Zimbabwe. They printed a 100 trillion dollar bill by the end of that one, so nearly everyone was a trillionaire.
Now they’re in an entirely new hyperinflation crisis, but it’s nowhere near the 89.7 sextillion percent year-on-year inflation rate they saw at the first’s peak.
Edit: fucking hell, they’re releasing yet another currency: the Zimbabwean ZiG. IYKYK
That does causes suffering tho, and it’s not a massive wealth anymore.
All empires are built on suffering.
There is a trillionaire now, and people are letting this happen. We should all be in the streets up in arms together and not leave until Elmo musk is brought down to destination
No more billionaires, no more super millionaires, I want wealth caps! Nobody should be worth more than 10 million dollars, any income over that must go straight to taxes, world wide
Amen to that. I think about 10 million is the proper amount of max wealth. I always say its the ideal size lottery winnings. Enough to retire on the spot, and live out the next 40-50 years well, but not enough to become a psychopath.
What we need to do is ban using securities as loan collateral. That’ll end this bullshit in its tracks.
I was hoping he’d fail to get that valuation but you know what, it’s fitting. Capitalism is bullshit, neoliberalism is a scam, a king of obvious, ridiculous frauds having the hugh score in the game is perfectly fitting.
Don’t forget a Nazi also.
