      Seriously. That’s the frustrating thing. When people attain that level of wealth there’s nothing you can do monetarily to actually punish them. That leaves them free to commit the most heinous crimes that damage society the most with absolutely zero meaningful repercussions. And they know it.

        Someone could always shoot him. We haven’t reached the level of hell where the rich are immortal yet.

        That’s not entirely true. He’s so heavily leveraged on his Tesla stock that if it tanks to where it should be, he can’t hold up twitter or the boring company. Who knows how SpaceX is doing because it’s still a private company.

      That’s not how it works. It’s dealing with different values. If you have 200 billion dollar but lose 201, you are in debt as fuck. Problem ist, since you gave been worth that much, people will give you another billion to help you out.

      Many rich people got pretty poor after heir imaginary worth tanked. Don’t draw the picture of them being invulnerable!
