      Pull up the societal ladders that allow people to become billionaires in the first place. Transferring a nations wealth from 5 pairs of hands to 10 pairs of hands once a generation is not a realistic long term governance

          Start with Space X and Starlink. We paid for all of that. Musk got rich by skimming billions from government contracts. Take all that money back, too.

          He can keep Tesla, it will be bankrupt in 2 years anyway.

            Nah, let’s take Tesla’s factories and repurpose them for agricultural drones. Although I have a tinfoil hat theory that these factories will be used to make a domestic use drone army.

        Easy. We nationalize the government too. That way it owns itself, and we own the government. No more billionaires in politics.
