    Perks of not taking your company public? I hate two comma mfers as much as the next red blooded American, but Gabe ain’t the one.

      What you’re after is a bit of socialism.

      We don’t have to kill all the millionaires and billionaires, they are just required to contribute to the world more than they take, as long as they do that they can have their luxury yachts.

      The problem is almost none of them actually do contribute anything to the world and most of the ones that do contribute things that the world doesn’t want. Elon Musk contributes a lot of electric cars to the world, which would be a good thing, it’s just a shame they’re all dangerous killing machines.

        Elon Musk actively hinders his companies from succeeding. People need to stop glorifying his involvement in companies he paid to have his name on.

        They wouldn’t be millionaires or billionaires then. You don’t get millionaire without appropriating the labor of others.
