The world is ruled by Trillionaires, and they really REALLY don't like poor people. This is the same klepto grifter who suggested a political party for only the middle class.

What's funny is that $1,000,000,000,000 is enough to give 18,000,000 families of four $35,000 (slightly above the us poverty live for a family of four), and still have over $350,000,000,000 left.

Edit: maybe funny isn't the right word....

Amazing how in the two years since Trump took office for his second term, his wealth has grown 5x.

Five. Fucking. Times.

He was worth scantly less than 200B back in 2024.

In 2025, he went up to 342B. What is that like 75%?

And how 3x since last year.

Man everyone thought he was crazy for buying twitter. Him, Zuck, Bezos, and Ellison need to be first in line for the guillotines.

[–] krisevol@lemmus.org 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

He's worth that much because we inflated his stocks and are rushing in to buy them. Not because he is doing anything different in those 5 yrs.

Seriously? Is it so hard to conclude that they are not talking about you and I as individuals?

Cmon.

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

[–] krisevol@lemmus.org 0 points 3 hours ago

He doesn't have a trillion dollars. He worth a trillion because we are investing in his stocks. It's not him preventing homeless, it's everyone that buys his stocks.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

The billions these monsters are taking in comes from somewhere. The oligarchs are using the middle class for their personal piggy bank, while America self-medicates with cheap beer and reality shows.

[–] brachiosaurus@mander.xyz 6 points 9 hours ago

If you use twitter you are directly to blame. Stop upvoting twitter repost, upvote serious posts that calls out elon musk not memes.

[–] Prior_Industry@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

The Billionaires have captured the system and the average person has no awareness or care.

[–] meowcar42O@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 11 hours ago

It's not a moral failure, its a systematic failure; everybody suffers

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago

While I agree it is a moral failure it also seems like a direct attack on the populace. Did they go to war with the populace and not tell them? Let them make a formal declaration of war against their own citizens then see where all the shit falls. "/s" but not "/s".

[–] IPeaceInYourFace@lemmy.world -1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing you can do about it. Don't waste your time complaining, choose to appreciate what you have.

[–] MrSusan@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Hoping this is a joke haha

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 66 points 21 hours ago (7 children)

What was the figure? All it would take to end world hunger is 500 billion or something like that? Half one person's weath?

What sort of person has that amount and decides not to end world hunger.

[–] krisevol@lemmus.org 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

He didn't have that much money. He has stocks, and stocks from companies that don't turn a profit won't solve world hunger.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 0 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. Thank you. We're all aware of that, but pretty sure he could sell even 10 billion a year and fix it.

[–] krisevol@lemmus.org -1 points 50 minutes ago

California spends 1.5 billion already and hasn't accomplished anything. You think 10 billion would fix homeless across the country?

[–] Solumbran@lemmy.world 76 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

The same kind of person that steals a trillion from society in the first place

[–] errer@lemmy.world 34 points 21 hours ago

The same kind of person who ends government programs that help those hungry people, killing hundreds of thousands of them

[–] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 38 points 20 hours ago

Musk said he could do it with six billion.

Naturally, he didn’t even try.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 20 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

Hunger is a political problem, not a money problem. You can't just say "here are X billion dollars, let's end world hunger". Having said that, the system that allows people like Musk to get that rich, is also the same system that creates hunger.

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

In a capitalism-controlled world, political problems are money problems.

[–] xtr0n@sh.itjust.works 16 points 19 hours ago

Here in the good ole USA money and politics are the same thing. If you have the political will, you can get the money and if you have the money, you can but the political will.

That said, didn’t Elmo have a beef with the fucking United Nations because he said he’d pay the 6 or 7 billion to end world hunger if the could prove that it’s possible and then they produced a detailed plan and he quibbled and but-akshually’ed his way to a reneg because he never intended to do jack shit for anyone other than himself?

Not defending this worthless sack of shit but I'm certain he doesn't actually have that much money

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 11 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

I mean it’s all tied up in stocks and if he wanted to liquidate it, all he’d lose control over all his companies and the sudden sell off would collapse the company stocks and probably destroy the world economy.

It looks very impressive on paper though.

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 15 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

He can take out loans using the made up money as collateral without ever paying taxes on it.

Capital punishment should be reserved solely for trillionaires.

I don't consider him a trillionaire. The stock he holds is of an unprofitable company. If he tried to hold a trillion dollars in his hands by cashing out on the stock, it would plummet, who would buy that at that price? If he cant hold a trillion dollars in his hands, how can he be a trillionaire? Its purely speculative.

It's like some ancient king claiming to be a trillionaire because a lot of people believe that there's a ton of gold in his kingdom - without good evidence. There's no guarantee he'd be able to mine enough gold to become a trillionaire, so why call him that?

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

When it comes to leveraged loans for buyouts, it's the same difference.

[–] krisevol@lemmus.org 3 points 3 hours ago

It's not, not even close. He's worth a trillion because investors are investing in him. If he tried to sell everything the 350p/e stocks would go to 20 instantly making him only with 10 billion. He still owes 40 billion on Twitter.

He would be bankrupt overnight if he tried to sell it all

[–] kgbbot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 18 hours ago

Or the fucking millions that just lost healthcare for billionaires to have more tax breaks

[–] LSNLDN@slrpnk.net 1 points 11 hours ago

Not to mention the entire fucking world

[–] archchan@lemmy.ml 14 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

The difference between a billion dollars and a trillion dollars is roughly a trillion dollars...

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

I remember when the National debt in the US was 7 trillion, and people were talking about it at the time about how enormous that number was, and how people couldn't conceptualize it. Now we have a singular person in our midst who could singlehandedly clear up 14% of that. And our current national debt is like 40 trillion now?

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 12 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

That's almost 1.3 million per homeless person or 55k for 18 million people to eat

Monopoly the game was invented to describe literally this

When y'all gonna flip the board

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

No, Monopoly was plagiarised from Liz Magie's The Landlord's Game.

[–] LemmyBruceLeeMarvin@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 hours ago

Which was a game created to explain capitalist accumulation. Which is where we are.
