What was the figure? All it would take to end world hunger is 500 billion or something like that? Half one person's weath?
What sort of person has that amount and decides not to end world hunger.

I don't consider him a trillionaire. The stock he holds is of an unprofitable company. If he tried to hold a trillion dollars in his hands by cashing out on the stock, it would plummet, who would buy that at that price without the hype? If he cant hold a trillion dollars in his hands, how can he be a trillionaire? Its purely speculative.
It's like some ancient king claiming to be a trillionaire because a lot of people believe that there's a ton of gold in his kingdom - without good evidence. There's no guarantee he'd be able to mine enough gold to become a trillionaire, so why call him that?

Amazing how in the two years since Trump took office for his second term, his wealth has grown 5x.
Five. Fucking. Times.
He was worth scantly less than 200B back in 2024.
In 2025, he went up to 342B. What is that like 75%?
And how 3x since last year.
Man everyone thought he was crazy for buying twitter. Him, Zuck, Bezos, and Ellison need to be first in line for the guillotines.

That's almost 1.3 million per homeless person or 55k for 18 million people to eat

The difference between a billion dollars and a trillion dollars is roughly a trillion dollars...

What's funny is that $1,000,000,000,000 is enough to give 18,000,000 families of four $35,000 (slightly above the us poverty live for a family of four), and still have over $350,000,000,000 left.
Edit: maybe funny isn't the right word....
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
May the same worms eat him.
It's not a moral failure, its a systematic failure; everybody suffers
The Billionaires have captured the system and the average person has no awareness or care.
Or the fucking millions that just lost healthcare for billionaires to have more tax breaks
What is she referring to when she says “changed the rules?” The rules of basic human decency, or something more concrete?

If you use twitter you are directly to blame. Stop upvoting twitter repost, upvote serious posts that calls out elon musk not memes.
I don't know what this person is on about. "Doing nothing"? In the last year and a half several steps have been taken to make the lives of those 771k and 18mil peoples much worse.

all those times when I said we should just kill him and people kept saying that it would just go to his kids or other people. well now it's way way more.
The world seems to be owned by Musk, and he really REALLY doesn't like poor people. This is the same klepto grifter who suggested a political party for only the middle class.
“I have a hemorrhoid. It’s like an infected blood vessel on your ass. I’m nine years old, and I have a hemorrhoid, Stan. I have a hemorrhoid, and, Cartman has his own theme park.”
Millions are homeless and starving, but hey someone got a trilly!
Monopoly the game was invented to describe literally this
When y'all gonna flip the board
replies:
Not to mention the entire fucking world
Capital punishment should be reserved solely for trillionaires.
The billions these monsters are taking in comes from somewhere. The oligarchs are using the middle class for their personal piggy bank, while America self-medicates with cheap beer and reality shows.
While I agree it is a moral failure it also seems like a direct attack on the populace. Did they go to war with the populace and not tell them? Let them make a formal declaration of war against their own citizens then see where all the shit falls. "/s" but not "/s".
I think they're leaving out a whole lot of homeless, there's no way it's only 770K
replies:
How can we call him a trillionaire if the wealth is effectively imaginary. If it isnt imaginary l, tax it.
Nothing you can do about it. Don't waste your time complaining, choose to appreciate what you have.

A guy is given money to build rockets. If he used it to feed the hungry and house the homeless, it would be fraud. His unwillingness to steal isn't a moral failure on his part.
