I wrote something similar. I agree. He could be doing so many good things, like all the other top billionaires. They would still make money, just not as much. This is a disease. In this kind of world, to be able to sleep at night while children die of starvation daily, while at the same time growing your own wealth by a degree of billions, is lunacy.

This is a guy that paid $11,000,000,000 tax in 2021 alone and you're not happy with that, nor that he uses the actual money he gets to keep on investing in sending humans and commercial payloads into space, providing fast low latency internet to the entire world just for fun, revolutionising electric cars and all kinds of other stuff

Honestly, the disease is people looking at that and thinking 'we need to milk more out of him' rather than 'maybe I could do something myself'

Most of musk's money is in tesla (spaceX) stock, so yes.

I'm going to buy a 12 pack with my sales from Apple stock, does that make that a reinvestment in Apple?

u/NibblyPig 2h ago

I mean, if you have Apple stock you can literally vote on corporate matters.

Because you have a share of the company.

Think about it...

u/TheBaalzak 2h ago

Yes, that is how stock works. And selling it gives those shares away in exchange for money.

u/NibblyPig 2h ago

Right. Hence his company is funded by his own money.

u/TheBaalzak 2h ago

Lol no, that's not how this works. That's not how anything works.

I hope Apple enjoys my reinvestment in this beer.
