Why is it a problem that elon musk is a trillionaire?Why am I supposed to care?
>>84832405why do you care that chad gets to fuck all the women and you don't? is it jealously? or is it just plain not fair?
Libtards think that if his money (which they assume is just a pile of coins like Scrooge McDuck) was taken from him and given to infinite brown biomass (or governments to pass on to the biomass) then we'd get fully luxury gay space communism
>>84832405cause hes hoarding it and not letting it enter the economy for better market outcomes that help everyone
reddit retards who don't understand the majority of that valuation is completely illiquid
>>84832405To put it simply, he is taking away your gibs
>>84832433excellent steelman anon. your real doll awaits you in your quarters
>>84832447Pretty much all his wealth is tied up in productive assets, the exact opposite of hoarding.
>>84832405Back when he dated Grimes he was supposed to pay me $3000 to fuck her and then take a shit in her pussy. I did what they wanted and the mf only gave me 200 bucks. In my opinion at least 30% of that trillion is mine.
>>84832447the dude literally made a rocket company, you know how much money they spend to just prepare to build a rocket?he's not really hoarding money, there's just a limit to how many companies you can run that won't go to shit, he basically can't spend all that money.why won't he just like give it away? maybe he's hoarding a little... i don't know i don't really know what i'm talking about.
>>84832405How does Philip Mason feel about all of this?
>>84832405its one of those politics affects you whether you participate in it or not type of deals
>>84832461>SteelmanGiven you're a rationalist, which is essentially an embarassed libtard, I'd like to hear what you think their actual stance is
Why don't you care that an illegal African immigrant is stealing your tax money and corrupting your government?
>>84832405I pay property tax on a home I live in. He sits on a TRILLION dollars of assets and pays nothing on it.
>>84832433>>84832405go back to x elon
>>84832501So you are just jealous then?
>>84832433don't ever complain about sending a couple of billions to israel, or ukraine or whatever country needs it.
>>84832405The people that care really don't understand how this works. They think he has a trillion in cash. He needed to get a loan to buy Twitter because he didn't even have 42 billion ready.Basically, think of it like this: SpaceX is a company, it owns all sorts of rockets and construction sites that are obviously worth billions and Elon Musk has 40% of the shares of SpaceX so he owns 40% of all those rockets and sites and that's worth a lot of money obviously, but it's not like all that property is just his personal plaything. It's used to ferry people into space and back.So yeah he has a trillion net worth because in theory he could sell all those share and get a trillion if he wanted to, and not even that because the value of the shares would plummet in response to the knowledge that Elon is suddenly selling all his shares in stuff so he can't even do that.Too many people think he actually has a trillion rotting in his bank account when they have nothing. His trillion is company property that is doing a service to humanity and being used in companies that do business.
he isn't a trillionare. I would be surprised if he was even a billionaire. capitalism favourite trick is hiding wealth behind "worth". he just wants to validate himself by paying journalists to talk about the prospective value of his companies.
>>84832532by design. he wants people to think he has money.
>>84832493>rationalists are embarrassed libtardswhat do you mean?
>>84832551He has described himself as "relatively cash poor" multiple times. I'm sure he still has a good sum on his bank account but compared to his net worth he has next to no cash, by design.He could have, he doesn't because any cash he has he immediately re-invests into something again.He's not bad at macro and he's not floating resources obviously which is basically what having a lot of cash is. He keeps enough around to be able to buy whatever he wants as far as personal expenses goes and invests the rest again right away which means that money will be used to improve everyone's life in some way.
>>84832517Politics aside the man is a loser and the final blackpill on meritocracy. I'm not jealous I just believe in equality.
>>84832405Liberals think imaginary numbers will help the economy kek
>>84832574conservacucks think the free market will help the people and end up destroying the backbone of the US
>>84832433>>84832467>>84832532Everyone understands that it's in assets. We want a wealth tax.
>>84832405Because someone having more than you is bad. Realizing that someone who has more than you is supposed to make you feel jealous, you are supposed to feel entitled to the best things in life simply because you exist. If something has a price tag on it that you cannot afford that is oppression because you are locked out of having what you want while people who can afford it are allowed to enjoy that thing that you wanted.It's all about entitlement, anon. The people who are mad at the rich are the people who took their parent's and grandparent's compliments to heart and never seriously came to look at themselves and say: >You know, I think mom might be wrong about me being the best person in the whole world.
>>84832671Listen to anon, here. Anon knows he's a worthless piece of shit. Nigger cattle, a serf, a peasant who can be killed without consequence. Anon knows his place.
>>84832597A wealth tax for what? So my state's representative can buy a new Lexus? So the UN can fund more trans surgeries in Yemen or some shit? I'll never understand the "government should just do everything" people. Every single thing the government does is a dogshit service compared to what the private sector can provide.
>>84833692>A wealth tax for what? So my state's representative can buy a new Lexus? So the UN can fund more trans surgeries in Yemen or some shit?yeah. the US government spends $7TRILLION every single fucking year as of late. like if there were something we needed to fund they could easily do it.
>>84832671somehow this doesnt apply to white people seething that they have to live around other races, mad at the fact that other races have equal rights to them. lol what a joke
