> questioning whether such extreme accumulation of wealth is optimal in the first place But why is it anyone's choice? People are already taxed disproportionately, why can't Musk spend his money, or the money people invest in him? The US is free to outlaw large accumulations of wealth, it would just lose a lot of people in the process (assuming emigration wasn't also outlawed). People in the US are, equally, free to move to places with fairer tax laws.
