A guy is given money to build rockets. If he used it to feed the hungry and house the homeless, it would be fraud. His unwillingness to steal isn’t a moral failure on his part.
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
The billions these monsters are taking in comes from somewhere. The oligarchs are using the middle class for their personal piggy bank, while America self-medicates with cheap beer and reality shows.

I don’t know what this person is on about. “Doing nothing”? In the last year and a half several steps have been taken to make the lives of those 771k and 18mil peoples much worse.
His efforts and contributions to kill us-aid has actively killed people.
The estimated death toll from these cuts is staggering.
How can we call him a trillionaire if the wealth is effectively imaginary. If it isnt imaginary l, tax it.
It’s not a moral failure, its a systematic failure; everybody suffers
Nothing you can do about it. Don’t waste your time complaining, choose to appreciate what you have.
Hoping this is a joke haha
My glass is half full
Amazing how in the two years since Trump took office for his second term, his wealth has grown 5x.
Five. Fucking. Times.
He was worth scantly over 200B back in 2024.
Man everyone thought he was crazy for buying twitter.
He’s worth that much because we inflated his stocks and are rushing in to buy them. Not because he is doing anything different in those 5 yrs.
We?
Seriously? Is it so hard to conclude that they are not talking about you and I as individuals?
Cmon.
The loose “we” is garbage terminology used to implicate everybody in the crimes of a few.
Who is “we”? Who are they talking about? People here? There’s at least three of us who aren’t part of that “we”. Me, you, and the person above.
If you use twitter you are directly to blame. Stop upvoting twitter repost, upvote serious posts that calls out elon musk not memes.
The Billionaires have captured the system and the average person has no awareness or care.
I think they’re leaving out a whole lot of homeless, there’s no way it’s only 770K
That’s the US number
That’s almost 1.3 million per homeless person or 55k for 18 million people to eat
even distributing all his wealth between homeless people or people without food won’t really solve anything
No it wouldn’t but I’m just putting into perspective how much money that really is. It’s disgusting.
i got your point wrong then. but i agree, it is disgusting and i just can’t wrap my brain around how much that is
Yeah no worries. The homeless problem and the people going without enough to eat is a systemic problem that can’t be solved with just money.
The difference between a billion dollars and a trillion dollars is roughly a trillion dollars…
I remember when the National debt in the US was 7 trillion, and people were talking about it at the time about how enormous that number was, and how people couldn’t conceptualize it. Now we have a singular person in our midst who could singlehandedly clear up 14% of that. And our current national debt is like 40 trillion now?
