Either Elon stole this wealth, in which case Bernie should be advocating some kind of criminal case against him, or Elon produced and traded for this wealth, in which case he should rightly be viewed as a hero of civilization for such achievement, and an inspiration to others to achieve the same.
Crucially, Bernie's wealth comes to him after being taken by force from others, while Elon's does not.
And if you care about the plight of the poor, which all good people should, consider studying the structure of the financial system in which they operate. Consider, as Bernie shows, that from the 1970's something seems to have happened, structurally, that has lead to increasing wealth disparity.
This disparity has little to do with Elon's momentous achievements, and much to do with money being perverted into a fiat institution when it was severed from gold in 1971.
Civilization is sick because money itself—that blood which courses through its productive veins—was perverted.
And it was perverted by people very much like Bernie, who, being unable to produce themselves, advocate for the wholesale theft of what others produce. That overt theft is somewhat distasteful, many insidious methods have been devised... most notably, the debasement of currency, which not one citizen in a hundred even diagnoses as the problem.
Anonymity shouldn't be symbolized by the dark cloaked figure
Anonymity should be symbolized by the young child at the playground, the woman in a summer dress, the elderly couple enjoying mimosas on their terrace
You don't know that child's name, nor the woman's body, nor the couple's financial history. This is proper, for you have no right to it.
Privacy should be the default cultural expectation among good society.
Thank you to @RepRosendale for cosponsoring HR 8421, the Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act.
If we really want to reduce inflation, the most effective policy is to end the Federal Reserve.

Privacy is essential to the American experiment.
Mao launched his “free speech” campaign in 1957 called “Let 100 Flowers Bloom” to ask ppl, esp. intellectuals, to make constructive suggestions to the CCP. Not understanding the evil of Communism, many sincerely did so. One of their pleads was allowing free speech. The campaign quickly turned into an “Anti-Rightist” campaign. Half a million were condemned as rightists & became enemy of the state. They were denounced & exiled to labor camps. Many more were implicated & had to undergo “thought reform”.
“Anti-Rightist” campaign put an end to any free speech in China. It paved way to the disastrous Great Leap Forward campaign. By then no one dared to challenge any lies incl. the absurd claim that China could surpass UK & US in steel production by mobilizing all the peasants to make steel instead of food. The result was the Great Famine that claimed up to 50 mil lives.
Never in my wildest dream did I imagine that this could happened in America. Today free speech is being silenced & we are coerced to accept lies as truth incl. such absurdity that men can have babies!
Encryption can't be undiscovered. The genie is out of the bottle, so to speak.
We live in a world where digital privacy is not only possible, but freely accessible by anyone, anywhere, any time.
If we criminalize privacy, only criminals will have privacy.
