The Elon Musk trillionaire discourse is so tiresome.
'If I was him I'd save the world!' 'If I was him everyone would be fed and housed'.
People have zero understanding of what net worth actually is. It is an accumulation of his ASSETS. The assessed value of his companies primarily and then his personal assets. Musk has less than a billion dollars in liquid cash as his entire net worth is wrapped up in his companies that employ over 150,000 people directly and millions with the trickle down from resources he buys from other companies to manufacture his creations.
Stop commenting about things you know nothing about.
This is my favorite argument.
In Hiroshima, roughly 140k people died due to the nuclear bomb out of 350k. That’s 40% of the city.
In Nagasaki, 80k people died out of 263k. That’s 30% of the city.
In Gaza, 73k people have died (according to GHM) out of 2.3 million. That’s about 3% of the population. A substantial percentage of that are terrorists.
So Israel has dropped an amount of bombs on Gaza that exceeds the power of the nuclear bombs we dropped on Japan and yet the death toll is far lower both proportionally and on a raw numbers basis.
How is that possible if Israel is committing genocide? Maybe it’s because they’re not.
