@SilverDudeMan@IfindRetards If you hired a guy for a price to get fleas out of your home and he got the fleas out of your home would you then complain that he became wealthy from getting fleas out of peoples homes?
Because your analogy is not equivalent. Elon did nothing that was not accepted up front.
@thruthewave@TwistedMcGee@mehdirhasan The point is socialism did the only thing it can ever do
Take other people's money to fund something
Private industry designed, built, tested on the actual rockets, spacecraft, computers, and systems. Without that engineering talent from the private sector, it doesn't happen
@Akcija20_50@evms_princess@JessicaTetreau@AsheSchow You're an idiot.
Wealth is not the same as money. Most billionaires don't have billions sitting in bank accounts. Their wealth is largely ownership of companies, factories, patents, stocks, land, and other assets.
@sunmoonbuffalo@SchadeyStare@mistressdivy If we are talking about personal land ownership then we should be talking about Blackrock or other institutions buying it...Elon Musk isn't into realestate
@tkeela13 It isn't about defending billionaires.
It's about the assertion that someone having a billion dollars affects you in any negative way.
Wealth is not a zero-sum game.
@glowwdup Wealth is not a zero-sum game.
His wealth does not affect you at all and likely improves your life.
Instead of living as an envious cuck of another man, worry about your wealth.

@santtsports@topnotchnaj@Thinkin0_0247@cloverboyz Many definitions of systemic racism involve a group having significant institutional power or influence, which may exist at national, state, local, or organizational levels. Whether that requires being a demographic majority is debated.
@santtsports@topnotchnaj@Thinkin0_0247@cloverboyz It is also important to note systemic racism requires majority demographic control.
This control can happen at any level (global, country, state, city, local, institution, government,etc)
