Elon could literally solve homelessness tomorrow.
All he needs to do is sell his stake in the companies he created from the ground up, crashing the price and evaporating his wealth as well as the savings and pensions of workers globally.. handing the control of these companies over to short term profit interests and preventing any long term vision from being enacted..
THEN take whatever money that remains which will be nowhere near 1tn and give it to homeless charities who have never solved homelessness anywhere on earth because they’re financially incentivised to do the opposite.
Bam - homelessness solved.
The reason he doesn’t do any of this is because he’s evil.
@RoKhanna Why hasn’t your wife donated all of her family wealth? You can live a nice life off of the bond yield of 5 million. Why not show leadership and divest yourselves of the “vulgar wealth” you have access to?
@digitalthreadai@paulg It’s not at all. They don’t want people to earn it, they want to redistribute earned wealth to other who “deserve”/“need it” but haven’t earned it
"... the political left has long had a remarkable lack of interest in how wealth is created. As far as they are concerned, wealth exists somehow and the only interesting question is how to redistribute it."
