“the 50 wealthiest people in America today own more wealth than the bottom half of our people.”

Ok my friends. Do we stand up for the billionaires? Whether it’s honest earnings(or not) you all have to defend free enterprise. It’s the billionaires I don’t care for.

I’d say it’s the character of some billionaires we can and should find objectionable, not the amount of money they have in the bank. Check out Andrew Carnegie, who I would suggest as a model for those who have earned and amassed fantastic wealth. What greater joy can than lifting up humanity on a large scale can there possibly be?

First, the people who talk about these disparities appear to be under the impression that ‘wealth’ is some type of commodity that is in finite supply - like land and water. It's not. Wealth doesn't exist until someone makes the effort to create it. AND, the supply of wealth available is constantly expandable based on the efforts and creativity of people. Musk has wealth because he produces things that people want - not because he took someone else’s share.

To me, the biggest issue isn't disparities in how much someone is worth. The biggest issue is disparity in influence, and by that metric people in the entertainment industry have way more influence and access to shape public opinion and push their agenda than the average citizen. WAY more. You never hear about that disparity.

You can see this disparity in influence throughout society, and it's incredibly destructive. Why should whether you went to the University of Illinois vs Harvard, Princeton, or Yale define whether or not you have ‘influence’? Why should ALL the Supreme Court Justices come from two law schools (Harvard and Yale)? Why don't we hear about the huge disparities defined by pedigree?

The reason we don't is because it's the pedigree and influence peddlers who are the ones pushing the agenda and the narrative.

Musk needs to turn the tables on these phonies... They’re as privileged as he is... SNL cast members are in the one percent of the world and Musk is in the one percent of the one percent...
