An individual can become a billionaire. Anything after a billion, that goes to the government for creating jobs and socialist type stuff like investment in infrastructure, transport links, and power grids. And so much more to benefit society.

I’m judging this article by its title. 10/10!

Billionaires exist because other billionaires and centi-millionaires willingly support their accumulation of wealth in exchange for a cut.

We need to start taxing this behavior to discourage it

fElon et al would rather live in opulent homes surrounded by cement fences topped with razor wire & be escorted everywhere as opposed to being in a society with equitable division of wealth. They don’t realize that hungry people would eat others to survive.

Yes we don’t, they’re proving that people with too much money are a threat to humanity. So yes, businesses need regulation. A millionaire shouldn’t be allowed to own more than one business in the same field, etc.
