Trillionaires cannot be allowed to exist. Now that there's one, all the rest of the Sociopathic Oligarchs are going to want to be trillionaires, too, so we'll face another round of ruthless profit squeezing to get there.

And they'll get even more arrogant and demanding, and when we finally deny them, they will form alliances, and start creating their own military. We will see it, and try and stop it, but MAGAs will defend them and run interference.

They will eventually claim a landmass somehow - buy it, steal it, conquer it - and become their own financially and militarily aggressive nation, and really start throwing their weight around.

It is absolutely imperative that we stop these mentally-ill financial hoarders. Their obsessive accumulation of money is suppressing the freedom of billions of people around the globe, and it will only get worse. They can't control themselves, they don't care at all about the damage they inflict, and they have no intention of slowing down. They can't, they are MENTALLY ILL. They need medical care, not be treated like visionary business people, and they certainly should not be given even more money by the government. It's like giving a drunk his own distillery, or handing a gambling addict his own casino.

And billionaires already look down on millionaires. Now trillionaires are going to look down their snooty noses at mere billionaires. Millionaires are now paupers.

The rest of us only have value as cheap slave labor, but once AI takes over, we won't even carry value as slaves. Then we'll just be in the way, consuming, demanding our rights, causing problems, demanding valuable things for free like food, water, air, medical care, housing, etc. We will become useless consumers of resources to people who see us as nothing more than ants, and we will be treated accordingly.

It is INEVITABLE.

While I do believe they'll form an alliance the deal is that those cuts will turn on eachother as soon as it benefits them on the shortest of terms. A society of sociopaths will not last

Yeah they all think they're the main character in the room, basically all very rich people do. Any co-operating is just not going to work out long-term
