So Mass surveillance CEO say taking away their power will cause more of it? Makes sense /s

I thought maybe he meant that taxing them would anger the billionaires and more mass surveillance is just what they do when they’re angry, but no. He just means surveillance of billionaire’s bank accounts. I’m not sure that really counts as “mass.”

I swear these tech billionaires are all absolutely batshit insane!

He says it not as a warning, but as a threat.

Conveniently glossing over the fact that we, in a normal world, would only be using the AI to look at all of their stuff and not ours. Stupid idea all around.

Why can’t we just use the numbers we already have? I mean they say Musk is worth x amount, Bezos owns x amount. They get those big numbers from somewhere. Tell them how much tax they owe based on how much they theoretically own. They can pay their taxes with their theoretically valuable stocks/shares whatever. They are going to be all like, “I can’t afford that. Nobody has that much money!”

To which we will say, “Fine then, uh give me that super yacht right there and 10 super cars and we will let you start a payment plan.”

If people don’t pay their taxes the government can seize their property to cover it, right? This is how we can achieve the reduction of billionaire wealth and find a path to balancing out all of the money we owe ourselves from all the government shenanigans over the last century or so.

It should be legal to spit on this guy if you see him in public.

Lol, he should do stand-up
