If we killed Elon Musk and took all of his assets, we could buy every homeless person in the US a $990,000 house.

If we killed Elon Musk and took all of his assets, we could eliminate world hunger for 24 years.

If we killed Elon Musk and took all of his assets, We could buy every NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL team. We’d have enough money left over to also buy the top 20 European Soccer teams.

If we killed Elon Musk and took all of his assets, we could fund NASA at its current budget for 40 years.

    Alternatively if we just took all his assets and didn't kill him we could put Elon Musk to work in an emerald mine in South Africa and get some added value.

    These are true facts, however it's also true that we already have a number of unsold homes on the market greater than we have number of homeless people. We already make enough food to feed everyone. We just choose to let people sleep hungry on the streets. That's what our democracy has voted for.

    So what does musk's billions and trillions matter? He could have two trillion tomorrow, and we'd still have enough money as a country to take care of everyone, and we would count up the votes that say not to.

    Nah. Do what rich people actually do, take a loan out against the stock holdings.

    Your plan is too bloodthirsty.

    We just need the assets.

    The execution part is a warning to others.

    Yeah im against bloodshed generally as a rule but I bet the altruism would skyrocket.

    Put this into a trolley problem and see the results.

    When that one healthcare CEO got shot the health insurance companies paid out on their promises for like a solid week. How long do you think on Musk would drive "altruism"?
