Cave Catgirl simple Nyanderthal. Need smart tribe explain this thing.
Elon sell electric cars. Elon sell satellite internet. Elon launch rockets. Elon make things people want buy. (Including governments!) Somehow this make Cave Catgirl poorer? Please explain slowly. Use small words.
If Elon become rich by taking Cave Catgirl mammoth, Cave Catgirl understand.
If Elon become rich by stealing Cave Catgirl hut, Cave Catgirl understand.
If Elon become rich by government pointing spear and taking Cave Catgirl shiny rocks, Cave Catgirl understand.
But that not argument being made.
Argument seem be:
"Man build companies. People buy products. Investors think companies valuable. Therefore Cave Catgirl poorer."
In fact, GOVERNMENTS do these things.
Government take mammoth, because they say it endangered.
Government take hut if no pay property tax.
Government take spear, say stick dangerous. Say only special government police should have stick.
Please explain why Nyanderthal should be angry at Elon, and not Government? Cave Catgirl no follow.
Did Tesla make Cave Catgirl poorer?
No.
Did Starlink make Cave Catgirl poorer?
No.
Did SpaceX make Cave Catgirl poorer?
No.
In fact, SpaceX doing things NASA should have figured out years earlier while tribe paying Russians to take astronauts to space. That seem opposite of poorer.
Starlink do more to give remote people internet than all of Government. This also seem like good thing.
Cave Catgirl notice weird thing. When local bakery become successful, tribe clap.
When plumber become successful, tribe clap.
When businessman become successful, tribe suddenly act like success itself crime.
Very strange.
Now if you want argue government favoritism, subsidies, regulatory capture, or cronyism? Good discussion. Cave Catgirl listen. Simply pointing at giant number and shouting: "LOOK! HE HAVE MORE SHINY ROCKS THAN ME!" This not actually argument. It envy. Wise holy man on cross say this is sin.
Before demanding wealth tax, first explain how man selling products people willingly buy somehow making Cave Catgirl poorer. Because Cave Catgirl just humble Nyanderthal. Cave Catgirl not seeing connection.
Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire.
The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth.
We need a wealth tax.
