Here's a fun fact: if not for the inflation that started under Biden due to pandemic spending inflation, the SpaceX IPO would not have made @elonmusk a trillionaire.

@hashjenni Have him make a couple more rockets and an electric car factory (the things he actually has rather than cash) and pay those in taxes. See how much healthcare the government can make with those
@alexthechick Because, in the end, the individual pieces of the companies, property, tools, labor, etc., are not the total wealth. What puts it over the top, what makes them more than the sum of the parts, is the configuration Bezos and Musk have put them in.

@alexthechick When people complain about "wealth hoarders" I want to ask them, "What parts of an Amazon automated warehouse would help with healthcare?" or "How would a SpaceX rocket be useful for feeding people?"
Those things are only valuable in the contexts Bezos and Musk created.
