Still not Tesla's fault.

As for Musk- he definitely pays taxes.

Being pissed at Musk, Bezos, Gates, etc... is stupid.

Why would we ever worry about that scenario given that over the half the population is cognitively able to do that job?

It’s like asking what the GDP would be if cashiers suddenly disappeared.

That's my point. You are the exception, I am the exception. But, when almost all of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, we are all going to be slaves.

They hate Musk because he doesn't toe the line. If he had the same views as most tech folks, he'd be worshipped by the left, regardless of his income or net worth.

Oh, great question. Why do you think the red states lag far behind the blue states ? It's education.

He does not. Sorry you don’t understand what an income is. Do you have his w-2 to share with the class?

Thinking wealth is finite is such an idiotic position.

Elon does a much greater service to this nation than those glorified babysitters.

Not really. We have the highest standard of living in the world with the vast majority of be able to achieve that standard without assistance.

Nonsense. Wealth isn’t a stagnant figure. The percentage concentration of wealth is fairly irrelevant if the overall wealth of a population continues to grow.

Now inflation is serious fricking issue for American families but that has nothing to do with billionaires in the private sector and everything to do with overprinting of currency by the government.
