Musk isn’t worth US$800B, it’s how much he’s been permitted to hoard.
No one can earn a billion dollars, that level of wealth concentration can only ever be forcibly extracted from the work of millions of others, or gifted from someone who did.
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 billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
This isn’t about the symbolism. This is about the actual machines. I think they’re cute. We’re at least chopping up some watermelon even if we run out of billionaires.
Can’t cut watermelons efficiently with a firing squad but it sends the same message with less archaic violence. Guns r cute in the right context. Proof: https://share.google/J9Q8VLrWzVYv4DTqc
Why, you would gain nothing and the best case you will vaporize an industry that is the last flight to keep some jobs in the countries before they moved to China byd
Vaporize? The land and equipment aren’t going anywhere. Reorganize the parts of the parts of the business that are actually, physically real and let the workers decide how best to put them to use instead of an egomaniacal Twitter addict.
The factories, offices, computing hardware, and construction equipment? He’s not the sole owner, but the point of all this is to cut out the money-juggling fluff of passing around ownership between different entities and make actual use of the real-world capital.

Okay but hear me out: guillotines are really fucking cute.
I’m by no means against deploying a sharp edge with guardrails, I just see guillotines taking many forms.
You could take their money at the same time as their heads, but I’d argue it more fitting for the experience of extraction to be drawn out.

No this isn’t a euphemism. I think they’re cute and want one in my kitchen.
You realize that it is on the back of stocks worth 350+ p/e ratios right? At 30 p/e he is broke.
He is worth that much because we a country we are winning to buy his stocks are huge earning ratios.
But the magic here, is it’s basically untaxable. The second you try to tax his unraised gains, it ask vaporizes as investors flee.
All the more reason to do it

Elon didn’t own those

Is there a capital shortage im unaware of?
I don’t know, someone said the manufacturing industry would “vaporize” if Elon stopped juggling his financial instruments. Wasn’t me.
