Especially the grotesquely rich.
-There really need to be some 'correctional' tax there.

And those mofos don’t wanna pay taxes and that’s why they wanna burn down America is for their money they’re fucking money!!!!

And Elon says it will benefit Americans in the long term but we will have to experience hardship and he thinks it’s a great plan. 🙄

Musk says Americans will have to face 'hardship' if Trump wins

Question: When are we going to stop entertaining billionaires and their waking wet dreams about oligarchy and authoritarian rule? When are we going to make it clear to them that they are not exempt or above the rule of law?

God. At least in the UK it follows inflation.

Get rid of their Tax loopholes.

And, any normal employee who would have invested in for example the Nasdaq 100 ETF would have seen an annualised return of around 17% p.a. meaning their wealth would have gone up massively too.

Trickle down economy is an apt name, and its proponents prefer a trickle rate under 10 / hr. Medieval economy is a reasonable alternative. Collect the bounty of the land, and render it unto the high and mighty.

Would the world be a better or worse place if the wealth of these 3 was seized (and assets sold off to millions of small investors) and the $700 billion dollars used to e.g. end world hunger and illness?

Parasite Class oligarchs need to be taxed. A billion is a lot for one person, multiple billions is just obscene.
