    …sets up Musk for extraordinary wealth.

    Is that compared to now when he is already worth more than what a thousand people could spend in a thousand years?

      Elon Musk has an estimate net worth over 800 billion dollars. If you were an immortal born in the year 1AD, earned $1,000,000 every single day and never spent a single cent you would still not be as wealthy as him. There is absolutely no justification for any single human being to have that much money.

        Fucking nations don’t even have that money.

        I think that once you have that much money, you should be treated as a foreign nation. You should have to negotiate treaties and usage contacts for everything, you can be sanctioned, embargoed, have war declared on you, etc.

        Or if you just want to be a rich US citizen, pay your fucking taxes
