Are unrealized stock gains and number on a computer real money? What is real money? Cash? Gold? Silver? Bitcoin? He does not have a trillion dollars nor could he ever produce a trillion dollars The financial system is rigged and he is a miserable person. Do you really care?

Elon is contemptible. He was given power to cut needed aid to people. But one person’s net worth increasing doesn’t take from others. TSLA & SPCX have inflated values and may collapse if rates go up and market multiple falls. Capitalism creates wealth. Progressive tax policy creates fairness.

That same trillionaire Doged away the supplies for the Congo by killing USAID and related agencies inside of the first 90 days of Trump's campaign of destruction and chaos to help destroy democracy and repurpose that money to himself and rich donors.

It’s obvious there is no change in ethics between being a billionaire and a trillionaire. Both refuse to save starving children’s live by refusing to supply dirt cheap peanut paste to millions of dying people. Their empathy is saved for themselves.
