>You can't hoard $10 trillion for yourself without taking it away from everyone else
Only Leftists view economics as a zero-sum game. I challenge any Leftist to explain where they think wealth originally came from if it can only be distributed and not created. When humanity was just cavemen banging rocks together there was no $10 trillion of wealth nor any amount. This had to be created. And if it can be created, then more can also be created without resorting to theft and redistribution in order for someone like Elon to hoard it.

Edit: Thanks for the gold kind stranger

Edit 2: 327 upvotes for this? Haha wow that's the most I've ever gotten, thanks guys and gals and everything in between!

Edit 3: WTF 600 upvotes wow thank you all so much this is the best birthday ever

Edit 4: Thanks for all the birthday wishes fellow r/wooooshers. I tippeth mine hat to thee on this pleasant morrow.

Edit 5: Ok, so this went viral overnight for some reason O_o 2000 motherflipping upboats I really have no words thank you all so much it means a lot!

Edit 6: ok I'm noticing some toxic discussion happening in this reply chain and I feel the need to address it. Sexism and racism are not cool guys, so please cool it and continue the good vibes please and thank you!

Edit 7: ok so I don't know why but I've received a lot of downvotes on this post recently, maybe i got raided by 4chan.com/b?? (commonly referred to as the "asshole of the internet" for those who aren't aware). I don't really ask for much but I was hoping we could show those losers a thing or two, so please give this post an upvote if you haven't already, it would mean the world to me and show these bullies you cannot mess with a good person.

Edit 8: turns out my girlfriend cheated on me, so that happened :/

Edit 9: so people have been wanting me to clarify the previous edit. I don't have the energy to go into a lot of detail so the general gist of it is this: Yes we were in an open relationship, no that doesn't mean you can't cheat on someone when you're in an open relationship. If you are having sex regularly with someone and never mention it until they get you pregnant, that is definitely a betrayal of trust even if you've both agreed that she can have as many partners as she feels she needs to be comfortable.

Edit 10: FYI, taking responsibility for the child does not make me any less of a man than you, actually it makes me more, so kindly fuck off please and thank you!

Wealth is created by the worker and stolen by the warrior, ala Sparta. The ones who own the soldiers own the real wealth. For example, The CCP controls the Chinese military and just takes money from whoever they want (Jack Ma lmao). Another example is Company Towns in the US, which owned the police and was in bed with the state militia, allowing them to gun down the workers.
There is no such thing as a free labour market, as if the rich get pissy enough they can just kill you.

Wealth is what comes from better optimisation of using limited resources/space.
It comes from better use of what we already have.

Valuation isn't real financial value and Musk targeted neglected high-risk sectors which would fundamentally and absolutely result in certain ruination had he totally failed, but immense theoretical wealth if he even marginally succeeded.

What do you do for work? How much wealth did you create last week? Who stole it from you, and why didn't you attempt to do anything to stop them?

Why do you suppose Elon managed to find the gigafactories that make Tesla cars and the spaceships and satellites to build Starlink and you didn't? Or did you actually discover those things and he stole them from you?

Western leftist anti-white progressives and their kike masters have ruined the world. Not a single shred of beauty or joy remains in it. I have no prospects or hope in the future, there is nothing left for me in the remaining four or five decades of life other than to watch these bastards suffer and die. Not just any death, but to die screaming in as much pain and terror as possible. I want them to die in ways the human mind has yet to conceive. Every single sneering, smirking holier than thou American or Britroach virtue signalling godless leftist progressive who celebrates and supports immigration, shitskins, transsexuals, pedophiles, Muslims, groomers, feminists, the whole leftist kike ensemble.

I am not rich by any means, I make about 10,000 dollars a month and have about a million in savings, but if I could give any part of it to make a liberal die painfully as possible I'd give it without hesitation. I want to pay for them and their children to be tortured on Liveleak like that ring of rich Westerners who paid Indonesians to torture baby monkeys for their amusement. I will dedicate the rest of my life and energies to this one objective, to hoarding enough wealth and resources to make this a reality. If I could pay for just one Judeo-Western leftist to suffer and die, meaning and happiness will be restored to my life once again

No, the price of amazon stock will increase due to their being less of it avalible for others to buy.
Amazon could create more stocks and that would decrease the value of your stocks.

Money originates from the government. The government has to spend first, operationally, before anyone else has money to pay taxes with.
>>
>>534934228
There isn't any money, it's just a comparative valuation.

>>534935760
Nah, money originates through book keeping through loans, very few governments issue credits anymore and are usually under heavy sanctions
>>
>>534935733
>Amazon could create more stocks and that would decrease the value of your stocks.
we've gone off on a wild tangent here, but i think you're thinking of a stock split where your proportion of the company remains the same. yes, the value of the shares might go down, but it makes those shares more palatable to the overall market so it actually has the inverse effect in the value of your shares. in short
>shares drop in value
>you haven't lost any money because your proportion of ownership remains the same
>but demand for the stocks increases so you're actually making money on the whole deal
that make sense?
>>
>>534936312
Yes it is too much of a tangent.
The original point I was making is that wealth comes from the better use of the finite resources we have. Tangible things.
Abstracting it to assets that can be created money and then bitcoin and then stocks just complicates explaining that ultimately you're limited by how much oil, copper, coal, silver, etc there is aswell as the space you have for regenerative resources like plants and animals.
>>
>>534932738
you know what's crazy to me is that money holds so much power that even the ADL is willing to defend the richest man in the world when he throws a roman salute.

is money genuinely that undefeatable in nature? or is it that money also provides an easy means to silence dissenters?

Yeah, $10 trillion is about $75,000 per American household. 50% of American households have less than $75,000 net worth. We could atomize Elon and bring millions out of poverty.

The real issue is the lack of distributed productive assets. Most American households don't have adequate access to tooling or raw materials or land to produce goods.

I would strongly push back on this. Conservatives clearly share the same underlying assumption -- whether that is because they genuinely believe, or just because they would prefer to keep things as they are.

But it is extremely obvious, once you understand how money works operationally, that the State can absolutely inject money and direct people who currently labor for other people (the existing rich) with that money to produce new, additional assets with their own labor. But of course, these new additional assets would exist alongside existing assets of the present rich and necessarily devalue them through the cold logic of supply and demand.

And you wouldn't need any of the existing rich to pay for it -- because as you rightly point out (even if this isn't precisely what you meant), the government is never constrained by revenue. It doesn't need its own money from the population. It spends its own money unit into existence. It never needs to borrow.

you're finally starting to understand, anon! there's a part of you that wants to recognize the unfairness in rewarding people with skills that make them valuable in their generation. surely, nothing is wrong with making someone who is skilled rich, the question is, do you really care about anyone other than them?

if so, prove it. because you don't. and it's also fine if you finally come to the realization that you're nothing but a slave to people who are more skilled than you. but just remember, YOU are just as easily disposable.

he will never have 10 trillion or even 1 trillion or even 500 billion or even 100 billion actual, real dollars
it's all speculative value of shares in his companies which are the next level of jewish funny money. if he sells them he reduces their value so he just sits on them and takes out a 0% interest loan against them and uses it to buy more shit.

the stock market became completely decoupled from reality in 2008 when they started dumping helicopter money to keep it pumped. all value of everything has been decoupling from reality ever since the gold window was closed and money became fully and truly fiat toilet paper that only holds value because it's the only form of currency the US government accepts for taxes and fees.

also, these guys aren't stupid. they don't sell shares in bulk because they know it will tank the shares. they do it gradually and that's why ownership of shares it tracked.

why do you want people that you don't know to care about you? i only want friends and family to care about me. meanwhile you want some billionaire probably 1k miles away from you to care about you? do you want every stranger you pass on the street to 'care' about you? female thinking.

meanwhile, basically every business elon musk has started is based on saving the environment (aka caring for you).

plus, how much money is too much? surely people with millions should be taxed into oblivion. maybe 100k is too much?

Leftoids really do believe that rich people are all Scrooge McDuck, swimming around in a vault of gold coins, don't they? But even that doesn't make sense. If someone WAS hoarding cash, that would actually make the cash that poor people have in their pockets (no matter how little it was) more valuable. Is all leftoid policy based on profound economics-incomprehension?

Elon Musk's net worth is more akin to a video game score, or perhaps how much industry decision-making power he has, than it is to actual wealth. WTF.

It's more accurate to say that wealth is discovered, not created. People discover more efficient ways to make use of the planet's resources, and that's called "creating wealth". But that wealth doesn't just come from nowhere. It requires inputs, the biggest one being energy. $10T didn't exist in the caveman days, because the only energy available to the cavemen was that of their own bodies. The industrial revolution came with an explosion in "wealth created", meaning people figured out how to utilize fossil fuels to do work. Energy availability has been the determining factor for the total amount of "wealth" on the planet, and if, for whatever reason, access to energy were to become more limited, "wealth" would disappear.
Unless there is some breakthrough in asteroid mining or cold fusion technology, that $10T is going to have to come from somewhere else.
