82,000 years ago: WTF is a dollar?
I think the point is to illustrate the scale of the insanity. Bezo's wealth increases $55k every minute. There's 525600 minutes in a year. Bezos makes every two minutes the same as the average US household makes in a whole year. Bezos extracts the equivalent of a quarter million people of labor every year. Jeff Bezos does not make the same work as a quarter million people. Yet it ends in his pockets.
Elon musk is less of a tax issue than a corrupt politicians handing out tons of money to one guy because he lied to them a few times and handed them money.
Stop buying their shit.
We're way past that. We need to do some clean up at this point.
He pays the politicians. He manipulates them into power via media. He is still a problem.
The politicians won’t curtail him. He is bigger than the law., so the law is defunct. They know and are even taunting it.
The quicker people accept that the better. If the law does not apply anymore…revolution needs to happen. The greedy will want the law to uphold then.

If you were immortal and couldn't figure out increasing value assets or compound interest after a few thousand years of watching other people do it, you deserve to be poorer than Elon. Even vampires figure it out after a couple hundred years.
Elon's net worth has almost tripled since 2021.
This is an international problem.
The more you tax them, the more will flee to countries willing to make concessions for them. But, taxation is preferable to seizing the assets; after seizure, you will lose a massive amount of business for obvious reasons, it will cost more than you seize.
I think that corporate control would be preferable. Shell companies and their machinations are at an absurd level today, see Panama and Pandora papers for more details.
How would you fix this without international solutions? What would those be? Can't we make a deal?
Too bad we don't have a diplomatic deal maker in office

We should've listened to Andrew Yang.
