If he had 2 Billion he would not be investing in things like civillian space travel and electric cars... So which is better for the world?
he created those companies, he gave away large portions of the stock
"gave away" = SOLD
to investors and via public trading
So to start with this stock was worthless, but then he made it worth something and now he should give it up
He put in MASSIVE amounts of work that frankly next to no one else would/could do. and nopw you want to punish him for it? that is patently insane. You want to promote MORE people wo do that kind of work
Not punish everyone who does
Bu-but its not communism tho
just remember that
I don’t think you guys can fathom how much $1 billion actually is
I really can....
Ah yes the "more money than they need" arguement
And You need to understand that it's not yours. THe person with that money earned it
It wasn’t just him. He had a team of 50,000 people
The amount of money someone is able to obtain through voluntary market exchange is proportional to the amount of value they have added to society.
ANd you honestly believe any of those 50,000 people did anything without his mopney/investment/work? Or would have done any of it?
That is the liberalist mindset yes
Labour is just one factor of production, and the least important.
There are more than one ways to think about a corporate culture
and least skilled
I don’t think you understand how capitalism was supposed to work
musk took a risk and put 100 million into the company
Don't call me a liberalist. I'm not a commie.
You don’t need to provide value, you simply need to make a prifit
Profit
Who else in his team of 50,000 put 100 million in?
Same thing.
Liberalism is conservatism. The word “liberal” has been hijacked by the progressive movement
Liberalist = commie.
liberalism is liberalism and progressivism is progressivism
I think you guys should learn more about the history of liberalism
progressive movements like we have now are inherently not liberal if they are calling for more power in the state, higher taxes and more social welfare
Liberalism is minarchist in its original meaning.
I don't care about your labels, they make no difference and only distract. You want to steal his money because he risked it and won
Ok then lets ask this
what level of success is acceptable to you?
Liberalist = sargoy commie cuck.
How much can one person earn before their wealth becomes excessive?
There is no upper limit
The risk to Elon would be minimal. Remember he got fired and he can still live out the American dream.
