I have no specific issue with millionaires. You work for 40 years and save up a nest egg so you can survive retirement. A million or two is totally reasonable for the golden years.

Billionaires, on the other hand? They don't need all that money, but they always want more.

And the fact that we could see Musk become a trillionaire? Well, spellcheck says that isn't a valid word, which is usually indicative of something so far from normal that even a computer can't comprehend the scale.

He could literally send the full trillion dollars to the U.S. Treasury to cover the tax breaks for the ultrawealthy passed past year and end up a pauper billionaire.

For people who believe money doesn't really exist, they sure do want more and more of it.
