Money is simply a medium of exchange and claim on food and resources, money doesn’t magically create or increase goods, redistributing wealth like this simply increases the demand for food without increasing the supply itself causing inflation.
Billionaires’ (or Trillionaires’) net worth consists mostly of illiquid equity in productive companies and organisations that generate innovation and jobs, a forced liquidation or redistribution like these destroy economic value and growth.
Foreign Aid that has lasted for decades right now only caused dependency and no long-term impact, these poor populations spent all their early history in stagnant loops and then got conquered and somewhat modernised and then cried about being conquered even after the conquerors left and even though the conquerors modernised them and then these poor populations got babied and helped because the remnants of empire felt bad about their power and previous conquest, you either help and sustain yourself or no one has to.
Also, even if such stupid misinformed misguided ideas like “only if these wealthy people gave up all their money for charity” were to happen, these poor people would still be poor and hungry because the problem is most likely going to be in inefficient execution and institutional logistical realities
I don’t like that Elon Musk in particular is becoming more successful due to him being on the side of my enemies, however, viewing the idea of one becoming more successful as a bad thing in principle is a sign of defeatist ideology which is what leftists like Hasan are motivated by
Elon Musk’s politics are despicable but becoming the first billionaire ever and his drivenness towards space expansion/exploration are extremely admirable
