what function do billionaires fulfill that 1000 millionaires couldn't do better?
- yongjik 2y agoThat's neither here nor there. Trump and Musk are dismantling the American government piece by piece, and I'm not terribly interested in discussing whether billionaires were the problem all along. That feels like a totally unnecessary diversion. By all means, after America kicks out Trump, feel free to discuss billionaires and the tyranny of capitalism and everything. Just not now.
- micromacrofoot 2y agowhy? it's hard to quantify the impact but musk personally spent hundreds of millions to get this outcome if he weren't a billionaire we might not be in this situation at all
- EasyMark 2y agoand hundreds of millions to him is like a months salary, so it cost him almost nothing
- antonvs 2y agoMost millionaires are just older people who’ve earned and invested well throughout their careers. They’re not functionally a replacement for anyone who’s a billionaire because they run large businesses.
