Bezos dethrones Musk to reclaim title of world's richest man

Weird how all these try-hard oligarchs soon to be trillionaires derive inspiration from an anarcho-communist genius writer.

Why??

Maybe now he can start paying his workers a decent wage.

Workers will always be poorer than capitalists for the simple reason that workers are taxed at the moment they receive wages whether they spend it or not thus they will always be undercut at the initial stages when capital could grow.

The biggest black mark that will be against these guys is if they keep all this money until they die.

At least Bill Gates has dedicated himself to giving his acquired wealth away!

Musk is a free speech hero.

The article mentions Tesla but not the value Musk has wiped off Twitter.

He overpaid for it, his antics have scared away advertisers and changing the name has destroyed brand value.

Musk bought twitter with banker dollars and I don’t think he cares.

Is Elon going to sue the media for reporting this too?

Apparently, the world's richest is Putin, estimated to have a personal wealth in excess of $ 200 billion, making him also the world's biggest kleptocrat. He has even elevated his two daughters to multi-billionaire status.

We're still waiting for that report to come out on how he's managed to accrue such astonishing wealth on the salary of a Russian president.....

Why??

How???

Would be a better question with the world divided between Davos set oligarchs and authoritarians like Putin and Trump who both use the same mechanisms to proudly pay no taxes.

Poor musk

Nobody knows the true value of all their assets. Musk wouldn't sell SpaceX for even a cool $1Trillion, though it's valued at 5x less. He's way ahead in Space Tech, Starship about 10 years more advanced than anybody, including US Govt. Ditto Starlink.

Nice thing about Musk and Bezos, both put capital to work, invest in new markets, new technologies, as result create valuable assets that make life more productive.

Above, far better than cockroach Globalists and their zero-sum agenda, high-jacking Govt. as their toy, putting world at risk of WWIII, while busy protecting their legacy monopolies rather than invest like above.

-2 ( +2 / -4 )

Stock market about to “correct “ around 10% any day now.

But Tesla always goes up and down as the left attacks Musk or leaves him alone. Predictable pattern.

-3 ( +2 / -5 )

Musk and Bezos companies hire many people, Amazon the #2 private employer in the world with its headcount. They also invest in many young companies!

-2 ( +2 / -4 )

Their wealth based on creating great technologies to solve global problems!

-5 ( +1 / -6 )

Would be a better question with the world divided between Davos set oligarchs and authoritarians like Putin and Trump who both use the same mechanisms to proudly pay no taxes.

Here we go with that garbage again....

Do people really care how much money these little parasitic **** have? We should care about the thousands of underpaid workers they exploit, worldwide, and the taxes they avoid paying.

Consequential men who have created gainful employment for countless numbers of our fellow humans.
