The truth is that even the "extremely" rich Americans do not consume "extremely" more than the average American. Elon Musk is, give or take, a million times richer than the average American. But he doesn't consume a million times as much food as the average American, nor does he fly a million times more, nor is his living space a million times larger, etc. Sure they consume more, but not orders of magnitude more.
- oblio 3y agoJet + yacht + mansions + ... I'm fairly sure that Musk and is entourage's consumption is probably at least 1 order of magnitude higher than the regular person's. Probably 2 orders of magnitude. Still, there aren't that many of them and we can probably create an overconsumption tax that would handle most of it. At least we could get money from them to repair the damage.
