In answer to your question, it is irrelevant. It doesn't matter how much money musk has, or you have, or bezos has, or the government has. What matters is where that money is invested.

If musk was using his money to bang hookers on solid gold yachts, fine, complain about it. But he isn't. He doesn't even own a house.

Stop worrying about another man's dollar and start worrying about being a better and less covetous person.

Elon is clearly using his fortune to enact wide scale societal change. He's currently chilling in the president-elect's house and chatting with foreign leaders. How Elon spends his money shouldn't be my problem, but he's dead set on making it that.

And what is he trying to change about society?

[dmonitor]

he apparently has a personal axe to grind against transgenders thanks to his daughter. he's also placed himself in charge of some kind of widespread government defunding program with decreased regulations for his businesses at the top of the agenda.

Wasting his money on luxuries would be preferable to destroying Twitter and funding Trump's reelection.

Yacht makers and hookers need customers too.

I agree with this but not everyone does. My argument here is crafted to those who do not understand why taxation is theft.

[johnnyanmac]

well you're making a horrible argument of it. All you seem to be doing is saying "he's doing good things" and you dismiss any disagreement with "well what do you think he's doing?" with no further discussion.

Musk is a great argument that while the government is inefficient, they are still beholden to laws and people. Musk isn't. Tax him to high hell.

Cut to Musk tweeting "no fear, buy the dip!" as he unloads some memecoin.
