minus-squareNeuromancer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down11·1 year agoHe’s wealthy but he doesn’t have a high income. We tax income in America. That’s why Elon pays little and same with bezos. They just don’t have much income. It personally doesn’t bother me they have billions. They pay their fair share of their taxes just like I pay mine. You’re not poor because they’re rich. Once you stop focusing on others and focus on yourself; life becomes much easier.

minus-squarexenspidey@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoPeople here think there is some finite wealth pie, and if you cut a big piece somehow that leaves more for everyone else
minus-squareNeuromancer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoI’ve noticed their knowledge of economics is about zero. I agree they think Elon has their part of the pie. He doesn’t. If they understood how stocks work, they’d know he has zero of their pie. They also think he is sitting on billions in cash. He isn’t. At least Elon created functioning companies for his wealth. He also created many millionaires. That’s a good billionaire. You can go buy his product at the store. Facebook. You are the product.
