    Oh shit the fuck up. It's not capitalism. I live in that society and I'd never do that shit.

    Some people are just fucking rotten.

    Tbh it doesn't matter to me whether he's a billionaire or trillionaire (of course there's a huuge financial difference, but both is way too much already). He's just the most prominent ugly symptom of capitalism. No permanent fix to prevent this unless we get rid of these systems.

    You simultaneously said we should fix the system while not caring about the class that warped the system in the first place.

    You have to get rid of both. The system that allows the disparity and the wealth to warp it. If there is wild disparity it will always seek to bend the system further in its favor, and the only way to prevent that is to kill the disparity.

    I didn't read it that way. I read it as the difference between billionaire and trillionaire being irrelevant, neither should be a thing.

    The systems and the rich both need to go. I'd argue that those who disagree should too.

    while not caring about the class that warped the system in the first place.

    No, I did not say that. I said they're a symptom and that the magnitude of their property is not the main problem - the existence of accumulated property is. Of course we need to redistribute their wealth to the people. That's part of the system change.

    As the billionaires multiply their wealth by a factor of 1000, so too do I multiply my personal hatred for them, and so too does the social urgency of their abolition multiply anarchy

    I know you say that as a slur like he's the worst person in the world. Because we don't yet consider anything worse than nazis/fascists. Like it was our latest media thing of how bad people can be. But I think it's worse than that.

    I had a thought about it.

    Elon Musk has 14 children.

    If you chop off his head, there will be 14 more billionaires. Elon Musk is the Hydra.

    We have a trillionaire, but we can't afford to give universal health-insurance? The price of food and gas are skyrocketing too? We hand out tax cuts while there is skyrocketing national debt? The only thing we're missing is a meeting of the Estates General and, then, you'd have the makings of the French Revolution.

    This is horse shit.

    The government is not a business, its not (supposed to be) run like a business. It exists to provide needed things for its people that private entities can't effectively do because those things cannot be effectively profitable for private businesses without causing harm to the life of its people.

    Whatever you replied to is deleted, but i hate when a government says xyz program wasn't profitable. Like fuck profit, was it working? Did it help the community? You dont need to make a profit on everything, but it should be an ultimate good for the country/community which will help it thrive and grow in a effective manner.

    The OP post was something along the lines of "if its free, you are the product."

    Which of course, applies to businesses, often selling ads or data.

    Nevermind also that the government is not "free", we pay taxes to it. Taxes to fund these programs.

    Musk is another chode eating cunt with no real friends.

    While I have no doubt that a lot of money would make my life better I know I have genuine friends who I’ve known for more than 30 years.

    He has none.

    And the stupid workings of economic logic will make him a multi-trillionaire soon. The rich get richer is the rule.

    Fake trillionaire because if he ever tried to liquidate his holdings it would crash the world economy. Of course our wonderful financial system allows him to borrow against his fake wealth and leave the rest of us holding the bag

    Fake trillionaire

    I wonder what you believe a true trillionaire/billionaire/millionaire is. All money is fake, at best they are just paper, that's the whole point of modern economy.

    If you being a trillionaire (perhaps even a billionaire were're talking about Musk) relies entirely on overinflated market valuation ans not your actual physical assets value, then you don't have that money.

    You do realize that you can become a trillionaire for a day either, don't you? Just create a company, enter the market, emit gazillion actions and convince someone to buy it from you for a couple of bucks. Boom, all your gazillion actions are now worth that money. Try to avoid tax office at this point though.

    Create a company with a quadrillion shares. Sell one share to a friend for $1.

    edit: And when someone else says bullshit, no one else will buy a share, find someone else to buy 1 share for $1 and prove the valuation lol

    Billionaires shouldn't even exist. A trillionaire should be promptly taken out back and shot and all of his assets redistributed amongst the public.

    We're witnessing the rise of corporate nation-hood. Corporations and their governing boards or tyrants are getting bigger than most nation states, and a lot of their workers are more loyal to the company/CEO than their country. They have personal security forces. We're definitely in a period of increasing acuteness and concentration, not a period of release and expansion. Hopefully the catharsis results in something better than the Pax Americana, which only produced a society of navel-gazing retards.

    Honestly, I don't think it matters much. America is just printing money for the fun of it, so it doesn't really affect us. The money isn't coming from us, it's just endless leverage.

    The US is on an inevitable road to hyperinflation so again, it's not really anybody else's problem.

    The AI bubble will be allowed to crash after the US stock market/economy embraces AI and swallows the poison pill with otherwise durable financial entities that average americans rely on becoming hopelessly exposed to collapse by those entities having AI investments (i.e. fake money) forcibly integrated with them.
