No, lay it out here. I have no idea why you'd think I want to give you hours of my day. Am I coming on too strong?

The problem here is that 1.61% of our GDP is being used just to make sure Musk (not billionaires in general, Musk is sucking up this much wealth on his own) is being "properly rewarded" with needless luxury after needless luxury.
This thinking exemplifies the caricaturish view of Musk’s wealth that I just described. You see Musk as a wealth taker rather than a wealth creator. You don’t seem to understand what Musk’s net worth means, either. Do you know how his net worth can change by billions of dollars in a very short period of time? Note that I did not say “increase by billions.” It surely seems like you have no idea.
Whether you agree with my proposal or not,
I do not. I doubt any economist in the free world would, assuming he could understand exactly what you’re proposing.
there is surely a problem here.
The concentration of wealth? Sure, but you are barking up the wrong tree here. I can give you better “trees” if you like.
Oh it's because I was asking how sure you are of yourself and your dumb ideas. You want your buddies to back you up?
That is a little bit funny.

Well you could win the debate with a simple paragraph explaining the exact limit of human innovation. You can even ask your buddies to chirp in like that Jubilee format. Feel free man.
I never said there was a limit to human innovation. Musk might well get us to mars. We should hope he does and that the flights are cheap because him and his ilk are buying up all the land here.
Why the fuck do we just hand over all resources to him? He will benevolently hand them back to us in a better form? That's the question.
Musk is a wealth creator insofar as he pays people. Sure, he progresses technology a little bit also. The country is no better for him unless wealth eventually goes back to the workers. He takes an unprecedented slice for himself. Needless, never seen before. So he can invest and give it back to the workers later? He buys twitter for 40 billion dollars.
Lay it out plainer than that.
Isn't this the same guy who wants to hire cheap Indian labour instead of paying Americans? H-1B? What wealth is he creating for Americans then?

You are thinking about Vivek. Musk told him to fuck off if he wanted to make India first.

Vivek ditches Doge. He will be trying for governor of Ohio.

@Math_Enthusiast

we've to remember that America is occupied by feudal lords , lords always be lords and others just work for them and gain a little by their blessings

Last I checked Trump was worth 4 billion. It could be lower now that number was mostly based on the IPO of that social media company he is a part of

Most of the people complaining are rich people. Prices are lower for most working stiffs. That's a refreshing change when investment prices were inflated helping the rich.
As we know how tariff deficit work but c the burden of its , upon the shoulders of common citizens ......... even they r not responsible for deficit

@Greyparrot
the feudal Government of America give unlimited tax reliefs to feudal lords and stole money from citizens , which ultimately cause suffering ........ no matter currently ppl don't feel that but yeah it happened

@AnonYmous_Icon
reliefs to feudal lords and stole money from citizens
Maybe stop voting for governments that steal from you and give to the rich. Things like Biden's BBB bill that gave all your money to billionaires while lying in your face about how they are the party for the poor. Again, no poor person is crying over a billionaire's stock prices going down. The poor can use all the price relief possible.
