But that would hurt the earnings of the mega wealthy, clearly can never be allowed to happen.

Or the FBI (public emails where he begged Epstein to let him into the parties; also the election interference), or the FTC, or the EPA (Tesla plants piping battery waste into water supplies)...the list goes on

Which was the whole point of DOGE

I say kill them, especially the billionaires who are also chuds, then tax the surviving billionaires

I'm for consumption

How about 95% on everything beyond 10 Million?

What an excellent little film.

Really? How? It's like the main subplot!

Seriously though, his actual worth is probably about tree fiddy on a good day

Not countung any interest accrued on that money. Even a low interest rate would cause any small investment to skyrocket over long periods.

$0 because the concept of currency did not yet exist.

Bout tree fiddy.

The returns on iron in that era would have been astronomical. But if you put all your money into a mastodon-powered ploughing business you could be belly up

Probably not as much as you'd think. The Gold Standard has not been repealed until 1971, which means inflation would only happen due to extraordinary events (like big wars). But the inflation since 1971 would still multiply your money eight-fold, which will put your saving of 82 millennia above Elon Musk's net worth.

You forgot that you could account for inflation yourself, IT'S TRUE

That was 2021 money. Since then he worked hard and made so much good, his net worth tripled. Just like any sane and fair system would have.

Saving that long only gets you about 300 billion.

Musk has 3x that.

Pretty sure I read that the bulk of that money is on coming his way only IF tesla hits a bunch of sales marks that it looks like they are never going to hit. But that fact has not stopped him from taking out billions in cheap loans on that estimated future valuation tho has it?

I think the point is to illustrate the scale of the insanity. Bezo's wealth increases $55k every minute. There's 525600 minutes in a year. Bezos makes every two minutes the same as the average US household makes in a whole year. Bezos extracts the equivalent of a quarter million people of labor every year. Jeff Bezos does not make the same work as a quarter million people. Yet it ends in his pockets.

Should’ve shorted Big Ice.
