World's first trillionaire

So I get that SpaceX ...should not exist!?

It exists to fool other white people to keep giving him stacks of cash.

How many black people do you know driving Teslas? Because Musk can't fool them.

Why do you libs continually make things up? Have you ever tried using facts and truth?

Oh, your whole life is like that isn’t it?

But the truth is that I am not that far from your tree.

Musk creates wealth for people. He makes millionaires out of 4000 employees, the unmarried lady in the cafeteria who supports 3 children.
Could you just weigh in on that for our entertainment? Attack Musk, and attack our space exploration , thus attacking the little lady. You hate that Musk and the lady get to keep it, when the money should be redistributed!!! With ...[text shortened]... nk it affects yours.

You will not respond. If we were chatting at Starbucks, you would storm out.

Musk creates wealth for Musk.

He makes himself a trillionaire and it just so happens to unintentionally benefit some employees who found themselves in his debris field.

Isn't this why you guys follow Trump? Good luck with that one.

And if we were chatting at Starbucks, yeah, I'd leave, but not before you were wearing your coffee and donut.

But the question is ....do you think SpaceX should exist?

Why do you libs talk about other people so much, like in this case, their Tesla? Or anything. Their money, for instance. How much should a person be allowed to have? It takes a lot money for the Stones to fly all over the world, but only a ew hundred thousand for Willie Nelson to cover his venues. Should they be allowed to have only what they need? Very confusing. you can never answer Avjoe questions.
Let us pretend Stones are a USA band for purposes of the question. Thanks in advance for answering it.

Why do you write about other people, those who have nothiing to do with you? I play golf, I truly don't care how much money the Young Rory McIlroy makes, or Tiger for that matter who is a billionaire? They have nothing to do with me. How does that compare to you thinking that Musk has something to do with you?

Y'all are looking at things backwards/upside down.

It's not necessarily a problem that Musk is now a trillion-aire (this word isn't even in the dictionary yet).

The alternative would be better, though. This is a government policy failure.

I have an interesting topic. Why do the liberal networks not say what musk has done in a positive way. He has created thousands of millionaires.

More to the point, why is there no discussion amongst everyone here about the beauty of America where a person working in a cafeteria, a millionaire. Can that happen in Romania or the Netherlands or Haiti or anywhere like it can happen here? That is a simple topic, I don’t think we need to get into a fight about it. Is it OK with you that these millionaires were created by musk and then do you find it curious that CNN and MSNBC have never made one positive comment about these wonderful average people becoming millionaires.

You might not want to tangle with average Joe on this one. Here is a concise way to look at it.

Musk became rich because he created companies that millions of people voluntarily support. If he only created wealth for himself, Tesla employees wouldn’t have become millionaires, consumers wouldn’t buy his products, and investors wouldn’t keep investing. Wealth creation isn’t theft.. it’s creating value others willingly pay for. This is common sense and logic. You liberal people always leave us thinking, what else would you like to be the case? Do you think that he should just go away, stop building company stop creating jobs? Stop making opportunities for people so they can learn from him, and maybe create their own SpaceX. Just what would you want to happen?

OK, I just can’t let this one go. I think I will just throw a zinger over your head..

Your comment assumes that if Musk gains wealth, others must lose it. !! But in a market economy, wealth iss often created rather than redistributed. Tesla employees, suppliers and , shareholders, and customers all benefitted because they voluntarily participated. Calling that a ‘debris field’ ignores the millions of people who chose to be part of it because they believed they were better off.
They individually chose (my fave word) to do what they did. They did not have to invest in this company. Do you see the schism here between our discussion. I am makin this very clear, but you will not respond to it directly. Next, you will say race has something to do with it. Actually, say what you like, I am just writing this for your benefit..
So, what say you?

The IPO for SpaceX ($1.7 trillion) received a valuation 10 times more than any previous IPO ever.

I get that Elon Musk works hard but...
[quote]it would take the typical U.S. household, earning almost $84,000 a year, nearly 12 million years to accumulate that much wealth. Or, if you were fortunate enough to have and spend a million dollars a day, it would take 2,740 yea ...[text shortened]... ews.com/data-graphics/visualizing-trillion-charts-graphics-musk-nears-trillionaire-status-rcna349018

Wildgrass… Considering what he has done, and what he is probably going to do, do you not think he has earned it.
This brings me to my constant question, what would you
Have the man do, like if you and Susie went up to see him in his office. What would you have the man do tell us you can tell us tell us.
What would you like to change. If he turns the corporation over to the citizens, as many of you have said in many of your writings, tell us a Logical answer what the government should do with rich people, do you think we will ever get to Mars? Do you want sun house working in the main office at SpaceX??
What is the next step Wildgrass. The fact that you never really tell us anything makes your Posts very boring. You are sounding like Sunhouse who writes the most boring of all Post but you are getting close..

Tell us.
