That actually seems too peaceful for this turd. I'd be okay with him living but watching as he loses everything.

I've never wished for a plane crash before but we've never had a trillionaire before either. Today is a day of firsts!

Tbh it doesn't matter to me whether he's a billionaire or trillionaire (of course there's a huuge financial difference, but both is way too much already). He's just the most prominent ugly symptom of capitalism. No permanent fix to prevent this unless we get rid of these systems.

You simultaneously said we should fix the system while not caring about the class that warped the system in the first place.

You have to get rid of both. The system that allows the disparity and the wealth to warp it. If there is wild disparity it will always seek to bend the system further in its favor, and the only way to prevent that is to kill the disparity.

I didn't read it that way. I read it as the difference between billionaire and trillionaire being irrelevant, neither should be a thing.

The systems and the rich both need to go. I'd argue that those who disagree should too.

He's also a moron. The fact that he is the most successful confidence man in the world, says a lot about our world now. Companies trading at hundreds of times their intrinsic values.

Fake trillionaire because if he ever tried to liquidate his holdings it would crash the world economy. Of course our wonderful financial system allows him to borrow against his fake wealth and leave the rest of us holding the bag

Fake trillionaire

I wonder what you believe a true trillionaire/billionaire/millionaire is. All money is fake, at best they are just paper, that's the whole point of modern economy.

I know you say that as a slur like he's the worst person in the world. Because we don't yet consider anything worse than nazis/fascists. Like it was our latest media thing of how bad people can be. But I think it's worse than that.

I think your opinion is hilarious. Would you feel better about him if he wore rainbow flags, blm and other fun stuff for the poor? You totally miss the problem here.

When I was ten, just after my mom died, I listened to the pretty boy narcissistic hockey douche who said radiologists make ton of money and I changed my lifelong desire from being an archeologist to radiologist because of that.

Kids are impressionable. Kid wants to make narcissistic dad proud, kid will try to make as much money as possible. Just one example for how long-term executive decision making is done by youths, and trust me, if someone is thinking of the youths, it's me.

i reckon it’s the same as his stupid rockets making people go all hurrdurr for working at spacex.

No, I think he's some autistic sperg boy born to rich af parents who networked right and the actual intelligence behind engineering society decided it would be good for him to be used in the engineering of culture. Our culture is engineered, and this mediocre fuck is skilled enough to play a role, but as far as doing the work to be a meaningful player, he's dogshit.

It's a decentralized autonomous organization, the police state. He's doing that, but he's not even that competent. He can be the middle man explaining what the modern day Nikola Tesla is working on to, let's say, Donald Trump, or whomever is really pulling the strings, cuz it's certainly neither of them.

No, I did not say that. I said they're a symptom and that the magnitude of their property is not the main problem - the existence of accumulated property is. Of course we need to redistribute their wealth to the people. That's part of the system change.
