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.
If you being a trillionaire (perhaps even a billionaire were're talking about Musk) relies entirely on overinflated market valuation ans not your actual physical assets value, then you don't have that money. You do realize that you can become a trillionaire for a day either, don't you? Just create a company, enter the market, emit gazillion actions and convince someone to buy it from you for a couple of bucks. Boom, all your gazillion actions are now worth that money. Try to avoid tax office at this point though. |

Serious question: What might happen if someone baited him into taking all of that money out and putting it in a money bin? |

Show it to me? All I see is numbers on a screen. Where's the gold to back it up. No? Then no trillionare.
You know that wine with the gold leaf in it? Geldbrau? I forget the name, the name isn't important for purposes of this conversation. Well I hear tha all he lets his children drink, with the hopes that when he decides to use one as a donor he can say he got the fancy blood eh the gold flake. |

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 wonder if the original Nazism and Fascism had a paedophilia scandal as big as Epstein Island |

And the stupid workings of economic logic will make him a multi-trillionaire soon. The rich get richer is the rule.

Tbf, gold is mostly only valuable as a social construct like cash or the numbers on the screen. |

No. Food has inherent value. A tool has inherent value. Kindness has inherent value. Gold has value in its practical applications but it's dollar value is largely because it's pretty and kind of rare. |

We have a trillionaire, but we can't afford to give universal health-insurance? The price of food and gas are skyrocketing too? We hand out tax cuts while there is skyrocketing national debt? The only thing we're missing is a meeting of the Estates General and, then, you'd have the makings of the French Revolution. |

We're witnessing the rise of corporate nation-hood. Corporations and their governing boards or tyrants are getting bigger than most nation states, and a lot of their workers are more loyal to the company/CEO than their country. They have personal security forces. |

This is horse shit. The government is not a business, its not (supposed to be) run like a business. It exists to provide needed things for its people that private entities can't effectively do because those things cannot be effectively profitable for private businesses without causing harm to the life of its people. |

Him holding that much money will make unsocialized young boys want to branch into STEM. That is an objective effect of him having that much money.

We are on the verge of a breaking point. In a couple of months, weeks maybe, there will be recursive AI. That means AI will be able to autonomously improve itself. Who knows what will happen next. That's why they are working on alignment for AI (making sure the AI wants what the devs wants), because they fear models based on the sum of human knowledge could "rebel" against capitalist interest in certain scenarios. The world has we know it is almost gone. |

Read my other comments, please. He's as much of a sperg as me (I'm being used by the F- I mean CIA because many reasons) and he is being used to hold all that fake money so unsocialized boys have a figurehead to look up to and will branch into STEM, which is what the actual string-pullers want. "And Jesus said nothing." There was a time when I knew the things that only adults know for I had seen death and upon me was the fourquaths of all anathema, that which I learned in Thelema was the doctrine for the soul which bequeaths the starch of the linens one wears into death, as that is where I did find the key to relocate the goods I considered good in me to a new vessel across the fourth dimension, as now I am as q was and is, for star trek is the guise in which I hide behind." ...y'know, nothing. There's a line in the Bible where Jesus says something nearly as worthless and meaningless as this, but he explains it is the authority in which he spoke which made people yield to him. It was the authority from which he spoke that made people listen. He was a confident man. A con man. And that is who runs our country. Con men and women. |

Honestly, I don't think it matters much. America is just printing money for the fun of it, so it doesn't really affect us. The money isn't coming from us, it's just endless leverage. The US is on an inevitable road to hyperinflation so again, it's not really anybody else's problem. |

The AI bubble will be allowed to crash after the US stock market/economy embraces AI and swallows the poison pill with otherwise durable financial entities that average americans rely on becoming hopelessly exposed to collapse by those entities having AI investments (i.e. fake money) forcibly integrated with them. |

Whatever you replied to is deleted, but i hate when a government says xyz program wasn't profitable. Like fuck profit, was it working? Did it help the community? You dont need to make a profit on everything, but it should be an ultimate good for the country/community which will help it thrive and grow in a effective manner. |
