Rich Lowry takes the words out of my mouth on this issue.
Talking about the number of industries that Elon Musk has gone into and revolutionised. Car, Solar, Space, Satellite internet, Tunnel boring, curing disabilities (Neuralink).
And the craziness of those on the Left who are going crazy because Musk is "the world's first Trillionaire". And... "who needs that much money?!". As if his wealth is in gold bars and cash, in a big pool, that he jumps into, like Scrooge McDuck.
No, what Elon and billionaires do is to allocate capital. To make more business. To hire more people. To make more people wealthy. Way more than any one or all of the likes of Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Ayanna Prestley, Jimmy Kimmel. All these no hopers, who are wealthy, but not from creating things, or making others wealthy, but from sucking on the government teat. Screw them.
ADDED: Take all those in the para above — Warren to Kimmel — and ask them one simple question: “Have you created a single job?” Actually created. In your long career? One? Not just hired office staff for a government-paid position or network-sponsored stage managers? Actually done something that’s given people a job?
Answer: NONE. Nada. Niente. Not a single job created by a single one of these winging wankers.
Whereas Elon has created hundreds of thousands of highly-paid jobs. For his staff and their families. Not to mention the thousands who have just been made wealthy by the SpaceX IPO. By having had the guts to accept SpaceX stock in part payment for their expertise. Owning a part of the company. That’s capitalism. That’s the way of the market place. Long may it last. To continue outperforming the dreariness of Warren & CO’s socialist vision of poverty for all.
Screw the ignorati.
