So I have been curious about the wealth gap between just the two richest folks because it feels to me like the differences are expanding all over even at the extremes. I did this with gemini to so take it with as much a grain of salt as you might like but its a relatively straight forward if tedius task so Im relatively confident it can do it right. Anyway I expected a long term increase over the millenia but instead I see an interesting artificat with today and the dot com bubble. Whats really scary is gates could be seen as a central figure in the bubble and tech to some degree but musk isn't exactly at the center of ai as much as the center of both corporate and government corruption but maybe someone will have another take on that. So the dot com bubble was merely corporate collapse but if this is indicative of a collapse I do believe it will be along more lines.

Eventually billionaires are going to be poor compared to the kaljillionares. Suckers.
