Correct.
My Tesla and SpaceX shares, which are almost all my “wealth”, only go up in value as a function of how much useful product those companies produce and service.
This means my “wealth” can only increase due to producing more products and services for the public. Moreover, anyone else who is a shareholder in Tesla and SpaceX, which incudes employees, participates in the upside of stock appreciation.
That is because I am a maker, not a taker like the Bernie Sanders type politicians of the world. They take and they’re on the take, because they cannot or will not make.

Elons stocks aren’t wealth. If the number of Tesla shares doubled the world isn’t any richer. If the number of Tesla cars doubled, it’s measurably richer.
For him to get to $1t in capital, he has to organize labor to set the means of production in motion to produce enough consumer wealth that his companies are worth trillions. Aka he has to ship wealth to consumers.
Whoever runs on inequality isn’t a socialist. They aren’t running on “let’s build more houses or more hospitals” because they actually can’t find anyone competent who can organize labor so these things end up being built. The outcome is always just more state debt and inflation.

Why has this post not been deleted? Are you STILL delighted, Prime Minister?
I’m delighted that Alaa Abd El-Fattah is back in the UK and has been reunited with his loved ones, who must be feeling profound relief.
I want to pay tribute to Alaa’s family, and to all those that have worked and campaigned for this moment.
Alaa's case has been a top priority for my government since we came to office. I’m grateful to President Sisi for his decision to grant the pardon.

These markets are incredible blasé about the US and Iran attacking each other's nuclear and military installations in the Middle East....

They want the forever war.
How many more parents with no sons?
How many more children with no fathers?
By their logic, it never ends.

We should be very proud that we have a President whose prime objective is not to get into wars but to prevent wars and to get out of wars. @POTUS wants to bring about an enduring and lasting peace in Ukraine. As Secretary of State, my goal is to support peace through strength.

Her estimated net worth is $240 MILLION.
Should DOGE investigate?

All I’m thinking as I watch this, is that I’d love to see @elonmusk unleashed on the NHS in the UK… he’d save billions and make it work properly again. Government needs big brain wrecking balls to fix stuff that’s broken - not meek mediocre minnows.
