Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg increased their net worth by $96.6 billion and $58.9 billion, respectively, thanks to rising share prices on the Nasdaq
Tax the rich a lot. There really shouldn’t be billionaires.
There’s no good reason for that level of hoarding beyond need. Waste of the use of money. If there’s enough money to feed everyone and we can’t, there’s something wrong here.
That’s not a liquid cash though

So… Is “eat the rich” still a thing?
I don’t want to eat Elon Musk’s flabby ass. I propose we just “beat” the rich, so that they’re afraid to walk around in public.
We should hang them up like piñatas and beat them until the money trickles down
We could always cheat the rich… out of all their money and distribute it to the poor.

Welcome to the revolution.
lol but inflation is being caused by poor people demanding higher wages, right?
They could have instead made 852,000 new millionaires or 8.52 million people could have a cool $100,000 to save for retirement or pay off debt. But the rich get richer.
Didn’t their total wealth drop significantly last year because FB and TSLA stock absolutely tanked? So their wealth is only up so much because it was down more and the market is on it’s way back up.
By all means eat the rich and all that, but this doesn’t paint an honest picture for anyone who doesn’t follow the stock market.
I didn’t read the article, just the headline, but both can be true. They lost money but made a ton again. It’s no different than someone losing a huge amount in a 401k but then having even more money in the future by not selling and the market going back up.
Yeah, unopened the post and it’s just “due to riding NASDAQ prices” and it’s like okay. Basically just like saying my wealth increased because house prices rose. It’s not a lie or anything but the title imies there was a change of assets rather than a change of valuation of assets.
Ugh. I just ate breakfast and this makes me regret it.
Next time, eat the rich.
Eat beans?
Beans for breakfast? Do you think I’m a filthy British person? On American Independence Day? How dare you!
On this, the most Holy of American Days??
sets mushy peas ablaze
I am convinced I’d be a terrible rich asshole. I’d never be able to hold on to that much money considering how fucked up the world is. That said, I have a conscience. Lacking one seems to be a prerequisite.
Hoarding wealth is like any other form.of hoarding. Its a mental illness.
If there was a monkey in the jungle somewhere who had stockpiled enough bananas, through killing other monkeys or other exploitative means, to last a thousand lifetimes and refused to share any, we would study that monkey like crazy to figure out WTF is going on there.
When a person does it and someone points out that its fucked, we say that the person pointing it out is just jealous, and if they only worked harder, they too could be sitting on a banana fortune.
meanwhile, people are dying of starvation and malnuritionment
So in 6 months he can buy 2 Twitters…
Pretty sure he could buy 10+ twitters by now, that cesspool’s real value must have crashed hard since his acquisition
He can buy Reddit at this rate…
Seems like a totally fair and appropriate system to me. Let poor people starve. Better yet, just hide them somewhere I don’t have to see them. That’d be awesome. /s
Great.
When’s dinner?
