Good, good--now, how do we take his money away from him? 🤔
Fortunately, government has an excellent method that it can use to take away unearned wealth from the wealthiest first: Progressive wealth taxation.
Now we need to demand our governments do that. I'm in favour of at least 90% rate wealth tax at the top, similar to what USA income taxes were.
That doesn't work on people like Musk, who have high assets and live off borrowed money
Right. Count assets as wealth and tax them as such.
And nationalise a fraction of Tesla and SpaceX?
