Rockafeller’s 1bil is the equivalent of 30bil now so Elon is > 33x richer than he was. We need to tax stock bonuses and payments. You get paid in stock, it’s income taxed at the top rate as either cash value at time of issuance or the equivalent % in stock to the government to be sold over the next 12 months. Loans backed by stocks or non primary residences should be taxed as capitol gains as well. I’m sure considerations for running it through a company need to be addressed to close some loopholes.
lol he shipped himself with Elon. Fucking pathetic. Remember it’s because of pathetic guys like this chud why Elon’s share of Space X is worth so much. It’s just millions of guys going “Notice me senpai” by buying the shares. And of course institutional investors know these guys who are into Musk findom gooning exist so they just ride the wave which puts even more upward pressure on the stock price.
I think there is a psychology to it. Some people like to be number 2 to a top dog.
It’s the same reason women support the patriarchy. Better to be second place than anything else.
Plenty of women benefit from the patriarchy. They don’t care how it affects other women, just how it affects them individually.
And they’ll never think they’ll be the ones cast away at first glance when it comes for her. It’ll never happen to them.
I think it’s also the tribal part of our brains that make it feel good to be on the winning side, even if you aren’t contributing to the victory.

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 trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
Imagine thinking being that rich is a good thing rather than a catastrophic systemic failure.
Wearing a shirt stating „Rethink systems“. Satire is dead.
They don’t care about the world so it’s pretty easy. Musk thinks we live in a simulation, he’s crazy.
Nah Elon needs to be skinned alive while heavily medicated so he doesn’t die untill we’re done.
Can we just corner him somewhere and throw bricks? I think that would be fulfilling.
They need to be small or a bit softer than a standard brick so we can throat ALOT of them, it can’t be quick.
just send him to Mars and livestream everything
Gotta be the moon, if we ship him to Mars even if he dies he still gets the satisfaction of fulfilling his goal.
accidentally factorial
Stupid dick-race aside, I am curious how much this difference is when adjusted for inflation.
Also 172 countries sounds wrong.
Because it is wrong. GDP and total wealth are two different things.
Holy shit…this is the cringiest thing I’ve seen all day
Doesn’t matter how much money this loser has. He had no friends and he has no joy in life. Even Epstein, one of the worst most vile people on the planet wanted absolutely nothing to do with Musk. You have to suck pretty badly to have the leader of the worlds biggest pedophile ring want nothing to do with you.
He’ll die, alone.
He’ll die, alone.
Maybe he’ll die with a bunch of other billionaires in like a plane crash or something. Gotta stay optimistic
Like a plane of filthy rich La Bambas
Every time I hear about a solar flare now, I kind of hope for a repeat of the Carrington Event.
He hires players to play online games in his place so that he can impress the geek crowd that he thinks he is a part of, the crowd which strongly despises him. Can’t get any sadder than this.
Most people will never respect him either, regardless of how much money he has.
Dances while looking way better than he ever could IRL, with a woman way hotter than would ever touch him without a hefty cash payment. At least 5 figures, probably 6.
There should be such a large target on musk’s back that he never leaves the house
only rich folks can wear a shirt that says rethink systems like it’s some cutting edge brand and not something people have been doing for millions of years
It just needs a picture of Marx.
now that’s rethinking
I have an incredible imagination. I’m ceaselessly shocked at how bad the average imagination is.
I can not imagine being that much of a loser.
Did he really deepfake himself into a photo of Elon musk and Marilyn Monroe as if this man even knows he exists?
Thats what is absurd about it. It goes to say that only lunatics use linkedin with bootlicking shit like this
