BILLIONAIRES

[Hobby]

There is no reason for anyone to be worth a billion or billions. I can see companies being worth that much but not the owner.  How many homeless do we have? A billion dollars is like a 1000 times more than they need to live. The government should tax billionaires 75% of total income they receive and not collect social security they don't need it.

I don't know about this. Without all his billions, Elon Musk couldn't have become one of the world's most influential trolls.

Spoken like a true liberal!  What a way to punish someone for success and give to others that don't deserve it.

If was for regular people buying from these billionaires they would not be successful now would they.  If they profit this much they should give back.

A good way to understand Exponentials: 1 million seconds ago was 11 days ago. 1 billion seconds ago was 1992 (31 years ago)

Trump has be entitled his entire life, leaving a trail of broke people.

Trump has given thousands and thousands of people jobs.  He's been very successful in life.

So? He belongs in prison for his crimes...

most of those didn't get paid what is owed to them. Famous for saying. I'll give you the next job, because I'm not paying you for this one.

successful? Bankrupt 6 times. guess you have low standards. Another way he gets out paying what he owes. Then he had the law changed to only businesses can go bankrupt and not pay up. The average persons bankruptcies, such as going broke from medical expenses. get no break from paying up.

According to Wikipedia the Trump organization employs 22,450 people, Elon Musk employs about 27,000 people through all of his companies.

Trump exploits undocumented immigrants for cheap labor while he complains they're taking jobs from Americans. He's a great guy!

[Danno]

But does he pay them what they are owed? FUCK NO

How fucking ridiculous!  He currently has thousands of people employed!

I used to work for a billionaire.  I reported directly to him.  Interesting person who was not like most.
He was fairly good at doing good.  He gave people jobs including mine.  Gave some away but not much.  Kind of a sleeze bag in some ways.

For some billionaires, after they make a certain amount and know they are set for life it's more about being #1, bragging about who has the longest yacht and stuff like that. Ego and fame.
