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?

2019-02-04 23:40:52 UTC  

he created those companies, he gave away large portions of the stock

2019-02-04 23:41:08 UTC  

"gave away" = SOLD

2019-02-04 23:41:09 UTC  

to investors and via public trading

2019-02-04 23:41:32 UTC  

So to start with this stock was worthless, but then he made it worth something and now he should give it up

2019-02-04 23:42:14 UTC  

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

2019-02-04 23:42:20 UTC  

Not punish everyone who does

2019-02-04 23:42:29 UTC  

Bu-but its not communism tho

2019-02-04 23:42:32 UTC  

just remember that

2019-02-04 23:42:32 UTC  

I don’t think you guys can fathom how much $1 billion actually is

2019-02-04 23:42:43 UTC  

I really can....

2019-02-04 23:42:48 UTC  

Ah yes the "more money than they need" arguement

2019-02-04 23:42:58 UTC  

And You need to understand that it's not yours. THe person with that money earned it

2019-02-04 23:43:18 UTC  

It wasn’t just him. He had a team of 50,000 people

2019-02-04 23:43:35 UTC  

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.

2019-02-04 23:44:00 UTC  

ANd you honestly believe any of those 50,000 people did anything without his mopney/investment/work? Or would have done any of it?

2019-02-04 23:44:06 UTC  

That is the liberalist mindset yes

2019-02-04 23:44:24 UTC  

Labour is just one factor of production, and the least important.

2019-02-04 23:44:29 UTC  

There are more than one ways to think about a corporate culture

2019-02-04 23:44:31 UTC  

and least skilled

2019-02-04 23:44:43 UTC  

Want more from the world? offer more to the world

2019-02-04 23:45:10 UTC  

I don’t think you understand how capitalism was supposed to work

2019-02-04 23:45:25 UTC  

musk took a risk and put 100 million into the company

2019-02-04 23:45:28 UTC  

Don't call me a liberalist. I'm not a commie.

2019-02-04 23:45:28 UTC  

You don’t need to provide value, you simply need to make a prifit

2019-02-04 23:45:32 UTC  

Profit

2019-02-04 23:45:40 UTC  

Who else in his team of 50,000 put 100 million in?

2019-02-04 23:45:42 UTC  

Same thing.

2019-02-04 23:46:14 UTC  

Liberalism is conservatism. The word “liberal” has been hijacked by the progressive movement

2019-02-04 23:46:32 UTC  

Liberalist = commie.

2019-02-04 23:46:38 UTC  

liberalism is liberalism and progressivism is progressivism

2019-02-04 23:47:03 UTC  

I think you guys should learn more about the history of liberalism

2019-02-04 23:47:06 UTC  

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

2019-02-04 23:47:08 UTC  

Liberalism is minarchist in its original meaning.

2019-02-04 23:47:37 UTC  

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

2019-02-04 23:47:42 UTC  

Ok then lets ask this

2019-02-04 23:47:48 UTC  

what level of success is acceptable to you?

2019-02-04 23:47:57 UTC  

Liberalist = sargoy commie cuck.

2019-02-04 23:48:02 UTC  

How much can one person earn before their wealth becomes excessive?

2019-02-04 23:48:09 UTC  

There is no upper limit

2019-02-04 23:48:29 UTC  

The risk to Elon would be minimal. Remember he got fired and he can still live out the American dream.
