I had a thought about it.

Elon Musk has 14 children.

If you chop off his head, there will be 14 more billionaires. Elon Musk is the Hydra.

just on paper and could sink at any time depending on market forces, since it is calculated from his many industrial holdings rather than base liquidity

So what? The "on paper" argument is utter bullshit and only belongs to the ignorant, the pedantic, and the sycophant. That "paper" wealth is leveraged into actionable wealth and material goods. Whether or not it is in holdings other than cash is irrelevant.

The real battle isn't even pro vs anti AI, it is oil power (the US) vs electro power (China)

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.

The OP post was something along the lines of "if its free, you are the product."

Which of course, applies to businesses, often selling ads or data.

Nevermind also that the government is not "free", we pay taxes to it. Taxes to fund these programs.

image of Weegee, a Photoshop meme that is based on Luigi's appearance in the DOS PC game Mario is Missing!. Luigi has a strange appearance in this game compared to others, with paler colors and an awkwardly stiff stance.

Needs to be sent to the glue factory so he can be turned into something useful

Billionaires shouldn't even exist. A trillionaire should be promptly taken out back and shot and all of his assets redistributed amongst the public.
