THE INSANELY RIGGED ECONOMY
Yesterday, while tens of millions of families were struggling to pay for rent, food, healthcare, childcare and gas, seven of Trump's oligarchic friends became $210 billion richer. Not last week. Not over the past decade. In less than 24 hours, these 7 men, the wealthiest people on earth, became $210 billion richer.
Incredibly, since Trump was elected on November 5, 2024, these 7 men, all Big Tech Oligarchs, have become more than $1.5 trillion richer and are now collectively worth over $2.8 trillion. Meanwhile, we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any other wealthy nation, young adults have a lower standard of living than their parents and over 20% of our seniors are trying to survive on an annual income of $15,000 a year or less.
Yes. We are living in an oligarchy.
A Good Day for Trump’s Friends:
Yesterday, Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, got $164.8 billion richer and is now worth $1.4 trillion. He’s worth $1.1 trillion more than on Election Day.
Yesterday, Larry Page, the second wealthiest man in the world, gained $7.61 billion in wealth and is now worth $314 billion. He’s worth $161 billion more than on Election Day.
Yesterday, Sergey Brin, the third richest man in the world, got $7.01 billion richer and is now worth $292 billion. He’s worth $148 billion more than on Election Day.
Yesterday, Jeff Bezos, the fourth richest man in the world, gained $6.96 billion in wealth and is now worth $267 billion. He’s worth $46 billion more than on Election Day.
Yesterday, Larry Ellison, the fifth wealthiest man in the world, gained $8.92 billion in wealth and is now worth $247 billion. He’s worth $63 billion more than on Election Day.
Yesterday, Michael Dell, the sixth richest man in the world, got $5.86 billion richer and is now worth $218 billion. He’s worth $101 billion more than on Election Day.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best: “Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth within this country for all of God’s children.”
The US doesn’t have healthcare because Elon is a trillionaire, or because other Billionaires don’t pay their fair share in taxes, it’s because the government would rather control the world, than help their own people. The end.
@benjamincowen@bariksis I should be a whole BTCer by the end of the year! Yesterday’s drop triggered a 5k purchase I had set for months. I’ll make another at $50k just in case. Dont think we’ll get there though.
@Cointelegraph AI is a more obvious for initial use. Crypto has to be integrated and whole systems need to be overhauled. Decentralization isn’t good for the power systems that control things so there’s less of an push to implement it. It needs to come from the people not corporations.
@SenSanders Why not just teach everyone how do do that to keep more money in their pockets? The government has a spending problem. Period. I don’t trust them allocating funds appropriately.
@unusual_whales So in a 1000 days that’s a million people. In 100 thousand days that’s 100 million people, in 350 thousand days that’s the whole country.
