To put a liiiiitle perspective here:

Have, or control?

That is saying, do they have 2 trillion dollars in their bank accounts or is it an Elon Musk situation where you just own companies that are literally 100-1000 tikes over valued and when you sell a good swatch of stock, the value of said stock would crash (hello, Tesla!)?

Just saying that in reality, it's likely to be a lot less

Having said that, fuck these assholes, take it all away and let them live homeless on the street like all the people that live like that because of them

When you can use that stock as collateral for a personal loan that does go straight into your bank account... then what's the difference?
