Post things your (least) fav billionaire does.

This used to be the Elon Musk sub, but in an attempt to boost engagement, we have engaged a new pathway.

You can post anything related to billionaires here.

Yeah, I do want to get rid of capitalism, but realistically, setting wealth caps could be a way of getting there without bloody revolution. Similar to how China is using capitalism to industrialize and build socialism instead of just nationalizing everything and expecting an undeveloped populace to gracefully hold power. The Cultural Revolution proved that you can't change people overnight, it's a generational process. By having wealth caps and investing surplus value into communities, you can change worldviews by changing material conditions.
