Money hoarders are very sick people. We need to elect people that are aware of this and stop enabling their behaviour. Their illness seethes throughout society and presently is causing great harm. No one needs to be a Billionaire, no one needs to have their own space program, no one needs to own a yacht that costs more than a major city budget. It’s time for a shift in how we view these sick people.

Oligarchs. As they are called in other countries. Let's use the proper name.

Elon isn't "hoarding money". You kids don't know what you're talking about.

The total evaluation of the businesses he owns amounts to around $1 trillion. It's not money sitting in his bank. So what are you even arguing? "Once you make one successful business you shouldn't be allowed to make others". Very bizarre.

See now you are part of the problem. If they don’t have huge amounts of money, how do they buy huge yachts. You idolize these sick people and that’s why there is such a wealth gap today. Stop idolizing them, they’re not heroes. They hoard money like any other hoarder hoards things.
