Elon Musk’s companies employ 180,000 people at an average of $130,000 a year. That is net good for society. Billionaires grow the pie that the immigrants and disabled depend on.

180K jobs sounds nice, but says zero about NET good. 1 #billionaire #hoarding $400B ≠ net good. 40K ppl w/$10M hiring just 5 each = 200K jobs—more than #Musk. Add distributed spending, reduced fragility, & less political capture. Concentrated wealth isn’t efficient—it’s a bottleneck with a fan club.

Pretty sure those 180,000 folks who feed their families would disagree. Also the profit motive limits waste and corruption. Without a profit motive you get a lot of waste and corruption (see government)

So let us get this straight—180,000 folks would object to raising that number to 200,000? Twenty thousand new jobs, in a fairer, more stable economy? That’s not disagreement—that’s a misread. Take a moment. Revisit the reply.
