    You do understand that being a billionaire doesn’t mean they have a billion dollars in the bank, right? Wealth is not the same as cash. Elon owns who knows how many companies, and those companies are worth billions. He couldn’t even buy Twitter without external funding because his wealth is tied up in assets. This is the case with every other billionaire or multi-millionaire as well. They’re not hoarding cash in vaults like Scrooge McDuck.

      Why did you type all that like it makes any difference?

      How do you think a company becomes wealthy? It’s not by paying good wages

        I was hoping you would help me undestand your point of view on this but apparently not then. I just keep hearing this constant anti-capitalist sentiment here but when challenged, nobody seems interested in elaborating on what they actually mean by it.
