Musk has lost almost a third of his Net Worth [View all]

Last edited Sat Mar 29, 2025, 10:21 AM - Edit history (3)

Down $150 billion in some reports. And nothing has changed in his life. Still a giant destructive asshole.

But a wealth tax of 1% would destroy the economy and cause the rich to fle the country.
God forbid their riches went to help others.

This isn't about Musk,but the Rich in this country who are sucking us dry and not giving back.
