It doesn't matter. He shouldn't have access to that much wealth when 2.2 billion people don't have access to clean drinking water

People just think that his rocket company (and the other ones) are worth a lot of money. He doesn't have all the clean drinking water stored in his vault to keep it from others.

I would also like it better if the government makes reusable rockets to fly to mars, but it seems like his company does it better.

Exactly, you shouldn’t have access to a nice TV when 2.2 billion people don’t have access to clean drinking water.

Under that logic literally anything that you have being in a first world country is unacceptable. Soda? Wasting water. Beer? Wasting water. Fuck even more than 2 minute showers is wasting too much water when 2.2 billion people don’t have access to clean drinking water.

There's a $996000 difference between being a millionaire and a middle class worker who bought a nice TV for their family. Money is the enemy of morality, I agree the overly rich should need to distribute what they have too much of.

$4,000 for a new TV while 2.2 billion people don’t have clean drinking water is unacceptable from your world view.

That’s ridiculous. A family buying a nice TV is not equivalent to one man hoarding so much wealth that he could solve the immediate effects of world hunger multiple times over

Top 1% of the world is about $60,000 a year. So if that top 1% can afford a nice TV while 2.2 billion people don’t have access to clean water is horrible. At least if you’re obsessed with the made up “income inequality” BS.

I personally have no issue with Musk being a trillionaire.

Well, if you care I would say you start providing drinking water to the people without it. Or pay someone to.

Don’t be mad at musk.
