CNN NewsNight has a meltdown over @ElonMusk becoming the world's first trillionaire.
Cari Champion literally says people "shouldn't be allowed to have a trillion dollars."
Scott Jennings shuts it down: "We already tax the rich... is it for us to sit around and say there's a limit on what you can build?"
Classic left envy on full display. WATCH:
Cari Champion: “There should be some checks and balances in this society. People shouldn't be allowed to have a trillion dollars.”
@ScottJenningsKY: “Rich people in this country pay the vast majority of taxes, and I hear people today saying, "Oh, it's time that we tax the rich." Folks, I got news for you. We already tax the rich. But is it for us to sit around and say, "There's a limit on what you can build, there's a limit on what you can earn," and it's now my job to tell you what to do with your money?”
History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.
Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.
And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.
You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.
