How rich does someone have to be before their physical body is torn to shreds in front of a cheering crowd? Purely theoretical question
Absolute weath is not the real measure. Rockefeller was worth 600bn in today's money.
Inequality is what is more important
yeah and look what happened to them, spacex should be disbanded.
SpaceX has a decent COO and business model. It's not worth 1trn though.
It should be nationalized. It does do some good things. It just does a lot of harm while doing so. It should be allowed to keep operating, but for the public good.
Nasa should get to use it for free.
SpaceX does but X.ai, X, and all the other shit companies he umbrella'd under it and not worth it. That's what I meant by disband
