The left won.
The world's richest man is an electric vehicle manufacturer who is decarbonising the atmosphere while helping quadriplegics, restoring space travel, and making the internet and freedom of speech widely available across the globe.
Unfortunately most of the people who identified as "left" were simply pathological grief merchants with oppositional defiance disorder. They build nothing. They stand for nothing.
@ItsAndyRyan@NobletStrength The idea that LeBron James would be a good footballer is ridiculous.
You will have talent like every other country but because you don't push the sport those people work normal jobs instead.
@cona674@Samcarrollhull@OliDugmore No, I can get on board with opposing the loan strategy.
FYI - you are talking a less than 0.1% in Musks case. He's not a luxury yacht owner.
@cona674@Samcarrollhull@OliDugmore So you'd tax him 40% on a trillion.
The following year the market arbitrarily decides it's now worth 250bn (percentage swings that actually happen) and he's now 150bn in debt.
Yet he never actually got paid anything at any point.
@cona674@Samcarrollhull@OliDugmore I really hope somebody comes along and invents a perfect anti addiction drug and id be super stoked for that person making lots of money with it.
Are you a sports/music/film fan? Can you point me to any tweets of yours rinsing those super rich people?
@cona674@Samcarrollhull@OliDugmore Which means he would have to sell the stock to pay for those taxes.
Where does that stop? Do we tax your parents on their housing gains?
@cona674@Samcarrollhull@OliDugmore What's really shitty Connor is that so-called liberals just cannot get excited about actually tackling climate change, or delivering internet to the poor.
You're more focused on playing jealousy politics.
@cona674@Samcarrollhull@OliDugmore You think a professional financier and somebody who required vast investment capital have nothing to talk about professionally?
Been brushing up on the discourse and I’ve decided that every single person is richer than me is a greedy bastard and every single person poorer than me is a loser. I and only I have the exact right amount of money.
@cona674@Samcarrollhull@OliDugmore If youve never been invited to after work drinks with colleagues then thats not something to brag about Connor.
But if pretending you didn't want to go helps you sleep at night you do you.
@cona674@Samcarrollhull@OliDugmore We are two types of people.
I hope he succeeds in curing blindness and quadriplegia with Neuralink because it will help people.
You hope he fails because making it affordable means making it profitable and you can't stand that.
