Now theyre aiming for the first Trillionaire.. its just stupid.
How a Billionaire can pretend to be somehow the will of the people.. when they have to be huge scammers ethically & politically to become what they are.
The billionaires are admitting they are " too dumb" to solve problems in society. Doesn't take a high IQ to realize those billions of dollars are wasted being held by by a private citizen. Time for us to seize those dollars for the growth and security of society.
How many people in both parties encouraged paying this man from tax payers' money to his business for pure profit? They weren't paying him so he could spend the money on other people - but just for his own company - i.e. for himself. Then the US said no taxes throughout Bush, Obama, Trump & Biden.
I never made more than $35,000 a year until I retired 12 years ago. I then made over $60,000 which included my severance
pay ( my corporate department was eliminated)
Also if you spent a thousand dollars a day it would take you over 2700 years to spend a billion dollars.
But it gets better if in that time you invested that billion at 4 percent interest in 2700 years you'd still have a billion dollars
I don't agree with you. If by hoarding wealth you directly caused that impoverishment then yes you might have a point. It isn't unethical in any way to do as well as you can with your talent, circumstances and luck. What's unethical is to not use that wealth to help others.
It’s absurd to have this asshole running around firing people and cutting important programs to “save” money when he and they don’t pay their fair share. Not to mention cuts to remove oversight and investigations into themselves. That is unethical.
Not saying you're wrong. Just saying a person isn't "evil" merely because life has been good to them and they have money and everything that it brings. We all want to be wealthy. If you're telling yourself and others you don't want to be wealthy, you're deluding yourself and lying to them.
His wealth isn't buried in a hole in his backyard. Most of it exists because people are willing to buy his shares of stock in various companies at the current price. He'd be significantly less wealthy if those stock prices went down.
"...there is enough for all...there should be no more people living in poverty...there should be no more billionaires. Enough should be a human right, a floor below which no one can fall; also a ceiling above which no one can rise. Enough is as good as a feast—or better.” The Ministry for the Future
I’d be ok with it if they put the money into a great cause. Personally, I would buy as much rain forest at possible and an army to protect it, in order to try to mitigate climate change.
Elon is worth about three or four hundred billion dollars. There are about 330 million Americans. So Elon has about a grand for each American. 1,000 != 1,000,000.
This is a pallet of of one million one dollar bills
Store one thousand of said pallets in a warehouse somewhere and that makes you a billionaire
Musk has 400,000 pallets
And purely evil to buy a president then rig the system so others lose healthcare, livelihoods, schools, safe water … just to get MORE billions. Pure evil
Only if you save $100,000 a year with zero interest. But if you save 20k a year with 4% interest it would be significantly faster but still take more than 1 lifetime.
You are right would take about 27 years to get to a million but the by the third million it would only take 9. See what I'm getting at? 20k is a much more attainable goal for people making 6 figures to save in a year but no matter how much you save make sure you get a good interest rate.
Yeah, I'm 100% on board with compound interest - just didn't want someone to think they'd be a millionaire in less than 10 years by only saving 20K at 4%.

Tax the rich at 100% for all VALUE over 999 Million dollars.
It has to be the VALUE of their holdings as they don’t work and tend to live on bank loans that they obtain based on the VALUE of their investments.

give the rich a little more money and we'll all get wet.
and then imagine any universe where the tax for that $2 Billion would be ZERO
We'd have to make soup with the most watery broth in order for everyone to get a taste.
One billion seconds is 32 years
One trillion seconds is 31,709 years.
He wants it ALL!!!!!

If you worked 24 hours a day at $100/hr, tax free, all living expenses paid, it would still take over 1,000 years to become a billionaire
No one has earned a billion dollars, much less hundreds of them
With $1B, you could LOSE $1M at a casino every single day for around 3 years and 9 months before running out of money... 🫠
