It’s beyond sickening that Elon Musk – the world’s first trillionaire – pays a lower effective tax rate than truck drivers, firefighters, or nurses. It’s not complicated – we need to actually TAX THE RICH.
🧵I think we need to balance life. If we have minimum wage there needs to be a maximum. My concern is not that Elon Musk is wealthy. My concern is that influential leaders can normalize a worldview in which some groups are valued more than others. #proudblue #pinks www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...
It may bring comfort to remember that he is all alone. Nobody loves him. He will end tonight in a room by himself, in the dark, completely miserable and unfulfilled. He will go on his website and share racist memes and try to mock those who disparage him. But it will only make him feel worse.

“When the oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller’s fortune was at its height in 1937, his $1.4 billion net worth amounted to about 1.5 percent of U.S. GDP, Mr. Durlauf said. Mr. Musk’s net worth is now equivalent to more than 3 percent of U.S. GDP” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...
"wealth inequality is growing in dimensions that we’ve never seen before." www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...
Dystopian.
In a stinging rebuke to economists who have demonstrated that output does not resolve distributional inequality, Musk become the 1st Trillionaire. #Satire www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...
And yet, he's a broken, deeply unhappy man with too many baby mamas, and no one who wants him in a room. 🎁 link Meanwhile, I, so poor I do not have functioning plumbing (except the shower, thank Dog), car, roof, or heating, wake up with a smile on my face for no goddamn reason at all every day.
It is worth noting that, in absolute terms, my wealth, your wealth, and Elon Musk's wealth all changed by roughly the same amount yesterday.
Nyt se on virallista. Elon M on maailman eka biljonääri. Mutta jos summa ajettaisiin kaikille maailman ihmisille, niin eihän siitä jäisi itse kullekin kuin reilu satanen. Köyhä mikä köyhä. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...
Elon Musk’s net worth of $1.1 trillion is five million times as large as that of the typical family. The median American household had a net worth of just under $200,000 in 2022, the year with the most recent data available from the Federal Reserve.
Nom! Oh no where'd all his money go? (Suspiciously 1 trillion dollars shaped stomach) www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...
We need to create laws that prevent people from becoming billionaires. Now we have our first trillionaire. The economy should work for all of us and not a few. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...
A trillion dollars is a thousand billion dollars. Or a million million dollars. Think about how many people could be clothed, fed, healed, and educated if this wealth was owned and controlled by the working class and not someone like Elon Musk. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...
This is disgusting. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...

This is not normal. This is not just have and have-nots. This is something new www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...
While millions of Americans are struggling with food insecurity, this motherfucker is celebrating becoming the word’s first trillionaire. The fact that he’s having a good day sitting on and guarding his enormous piles of wealth like a greedy dragon makes me angry. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...

@nytimes.com “The fact is that wealth for some and wealth inequality is growing in dimensions that we’ve never seen before,” said Steven Durlauf, the director of the Stone Center for Research on Wealth Inequality and Mobility at the University of Chicago. —yet so much of the world still suffers

Note: Not only should there not be trillionaires in the world (or billionaires), we shouldn't have a legal system that creates trillionaires (and billionaires) but then justifies itself as being inevitable and good for us all.
Now would be a good time to read Liu Cixin, The Wages of Humanity. And also a good time to tax the rich. A lot. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...
It is utterly appalling that Elon Musk, the world's first trillionaire, pays a lower effective tax rate than truck drivers, firefighters, or nurses. The solution is straightforward: we must impose higher taxes on the wealthy. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...
That's 1000 policy mistakes. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...
"When the oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller’s fortune was at its height in 1937, his $1.4 billion net worth amounted to about 1.5 percent of U.S. gross domestic product....Mr. Musk’s net worth is now equivalent to more than 3 percent of U.S. gross domestic product" www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...
For context, if you added the endowments of all Ivy Leagues, the managed capital of the largest hedge fund, and then threw in the GDP of Argentina, you'd still be short one man's net worth. Not good.
So, why can't you help Americans feed their families, get Healthcare, and basically live... pure gluttony
Musk’s net worth is just under 25% of the entire bottom half of Americans ($4.3T). Obscene. Elon Musk Becomes the World’s First Trillionaire www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...

It’s hard to read the New Testament without getting the sense that the worst people in the world have the most wealth. But try telling that to MAGA-fied Christians. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/t...
“His wealth dwarfs even that of the everyday wealthy. The top 10 percent of households by income had an average net worth of $6.5 million in 2022, less than .001 percent of the SpaceX leader’s total.”
HOT TAKE: Not only should there not be trillioners in the world (or billionaires), we shouldn't have a legal system that creates trillionaires (and billionaires) but then justifies itself as being inevitable and good for us all.

What a truly disgusting and disheartening day: One man's net worth surpasses $1,000,000,000,000 while billions of others on Planet Earth struggle for food, clean water, shelter, and other basic human needs. We have utterly failed as a society and a nation.
