Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.

To follow up on my previous response. We also need to break up the Corporate Monopolies!! No single individual needs or is important enough to accumulate a personal level of wealth higher than entire countries!

Respectfully, I would offer that we need so much more. A complete reset. Establish an equitable distribution of financial compensation for all employees + a return to a tax structure that ensures equal inclusion of all financial levels. Both personal and corporate.

The investors forget this is a man who caused thousands of African children to die! The @cnbc.com investors praising him as the greatest but forget all the harm he has caused! He won’t get any of my money!

The same people losing their minds over Elon Musk’s success never seemed too concerned when billions of taxpayer dollars were getting burned on wasteful programs, bloated bureaucracy, and government pet projects.

We could start by simplifying and actually enforcing our existing tax code rather than allowing it to continue to get ever more complex and also inventing a whole new type of tax. But trillion is a really big number and Elon is very bad, so we will probably go for a big swing and miss.

The tax code needs a complete ground-up rewrite. Trash the whole thing and start from scratch. Unfortunately today’s Congress is inadequate for this task.

Wealth tax will mean next to nothing if we don’t start holding criminals accountable for their crimes. Elmo fleeced US taxpayers out of millions and we want it all back along with a pound or more of flesh.

We act like all of this corruption came from nowhere. No it came from our reps being fine with being able to skit the law, taxes, morality, decency, and humanity

And who would have stood beside her to get such a bill passed. She is not a fool and she doesn’t grandstand. She could not even get the nomination for the cfpb -her baby- under Obama, the pressure was so intense against her.

Automation collapses the global labor market in 5 years. You know this. Are you waltzing us into their ovens? Automation will undo the global economic structure. Right now. That's why this is happening now. That is why NSPM-7 has been hunting your supporters for the last year. And you knew.

Then do something about it! Nobody needs a $billion let alone 1000x that. I don’t use any of Elons products. I sway friends/family away from his companies and products. But you have the levers of power!

Trillionaire always catches me out, how many very's is that before you say greedy. On a different note I just saw a post about Dolly Parton kitting out her hospital with a shit load of new tech.

If millionaires, billionaires and trillionaires want to lead a country or a world then individuals must start asking what do I get out of this? If you are unemployed, underpaid or otherwise struggling or enjoying unfair terms then is it really working for you? People are gullible.

Just think, if y'all did your jobs up there on the Hill we wouldn't have this problem. There are laws written to avoid Monopolies. You refuse to use them. Most likely because you're invested in them. Don't think we don't see what' happening. We're not ALL Fox News viewers. 😉

Extreme wealth concentration is a real problem that deserves serious solutions. Maybe the issue isn't just tax policy but also whether our 250-year-old system can handle modern economic realities. We need fresh thinking from all Americans, not just politicians.

Of for fuck's sakes! Quit with the pearl clutching and actually start doing something. Start using words like anti-trust and expropriation and nationalization of Space-X. Otherwise stop the drama queen stuff. We need serious people.

It has us wondering, are there honest ways to earn money anywhere anymore⸮ Even the press calling him the world's 1st trillionaire discounts enormous trusts of Rothschild, Rockefeller, Windsor & other #royals. We need to make our own money & stop taxing the poor, live rich ourselves. That's justice.

Indeed. I don't know if there are honest ways to make money anymore honestly? I ask myself that same question. Maybe in a very small percentage of cases? I don't doubt that it has happened a handful of times in the history of the world - but by God, yes, we will have to stop it. Nobody before us...

He’s taking our fucking money and he’s not even from here. There’s something seriously wrong with that bullshit giving the government contracts to a white nationalized white supremacist KKK fukstick from South Africa.

Billionaires need to use their own money. Instead the republicans just hand them our tax dollars. All those jobs Amazon, Google, Meta promised last spring while sitting in Trumps lap actually became job cuts. Put line items on our federal tax forms. Let us chose what our money funds

Beyond taxing Space X, Congress should investigate why and who decided to remove structural protections that make it easier for insiders to cash out and how a company that is currently losing money hand over fist is yielding trillions for Musk. 👇🏼 www.fool.com/investing/20...

fool.com7 Reasons I'm Avoiding the SpaceX IPO Like the Plague -- and You Should, Too! | The Motley FoolStructural, operational, valuation, and historical headwinds all point to SpaceX stock being a disaster.

The people of this country will not stand for this fraud and then being forced to prop up his fraud with tax dollars. You all need to stop talking politics and do something about this bullshit.

Yes, put not on what one has created/acquired/owns; wealth tax along the way, with no limit on Medicare and social security taxation, plus whatever the disproportionate other contribution might be. Do not punish creation; punish greed. 😎🕊️🇺🇸

How about blocking the forced inclusion of SpaceX stock in index funds that must then purchase those shares for people's retirement plans and 401(k)s? Elon's venture capitalists know this company has no future. They're basically rigging it to cash out and leave the public holding worthless paper!

You need to close tax loopholes for corporations and CEOs write offs. Carbon tax data centers that is where the money 💰 is now. And also the biggest driver of energy consumption and waste.

After we are all replaced by his AI robots, following the global resource wars, plagues, & famine that will come in the next decade… There will be far fewer “low value” people left to deal with. The uber-wealthy will have bought their remote islands to isolate themselves from the collapse. Death

We need a wealth tax? Ok, so then why didn't Democrats enact a wealth tax when they were in power?? Why do Democrats list out all these things we should have when they are out of power, but never actually follow through and get us those things when they are in power?!

It's all ones and zeros until you have some in your wallet. With the chaos in the US government now, all those ones and zeros can evaporate. When all goes south, you can take a thousand dollars, throw it into a salad bowl with oil and vinegar, and you still can't eat it. We are going that way.

Why do people keep giving this con man money? It's nothing but an endless con job. He's not very bright and has never had an original idea in his life. Everything he touches fails to work. He gave Texas screwworms because he didn't understand what he was doing.

And Musk was instrumental destroying USAID , destroying existing food and medicine for the starving and sick African people resulting in 300,000 deaths of men , women and mostly children. So that seems like an important thing to mention today as well.

We need to eliminate ALL income taxes and tax only capital. Income is gradually disappearing, and ownership is everything. You need to fix the ENTIRE system.

This household would need to work less than that if some people without a clue valued something they own high enough. “Your lawn looks so nice. I think it's worth 500 billion dollars!!” (And the banks believe this and give credits accordingly.)

Musk has millions of fake followers and billions in fake "assets". It's all smoke and mirrors. HIs talent is manipulation. The Chinese are eating his lunch. Better EVs. Better Space X/ Starlink soon enough.

SpaceX has paid little to no federal income taxes since its inception in 2002. While the company has secured billions in U.S. government contracts, it has legally offset its massive corporate earnings using more than $5 billion in accumulated losses and federal tax credits
