Look at extremes like Musk. Of course he is generating jobs. But he also took 200 billion or so from everyone else for himself. That's not going to trickle down.

Of course he is generating jobs.

Didn't he fire most of Twitter's staff?

A quick search tells me he fired ~80% of Twitter staff.

How much would trickle down if he died?

[–] FlyingSquid 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It would trickle down to his 12 children or however many he has. Except the trans one because she disowned him. Can you imagine what a monster of a father he must be for one of his children to disown him when he's the richest man in the world?

So it would go to being spent by 12 people instead of one? Seems like it's trickling down pretty hard right away.
