@Hope4All Another wayn to look at it - tonights Euromillions lottery jackpot is £140 Million.
The winner will still be 7 times closer, financially, to a person with absolutley nothing than to a billionaire, and a staggering 1700 times closer than to Elon Musk's alleged wealth.

Thank you for adding an "alleged" before wealth.

It drives me bonkers. Musk owns meme stocks of financially unsound corporations with at best mediocre products often with minority shares which he borrowed against and serving the credit interests with meme stocks from another financially unsound corporation.

This is a Ponzi scheme.

@silkester @mancavgeek @Hope4All Sort of true, which gets at why OP's plan for world salvation won't really work.

@ech

Exactly. On the other hand that money that Musk gets from banks is real money, not meme money in trade tables.

Usually according to economists if you pump too much money into an economy you get an inflation.

That hasn't happened either.

The current inflation is from the residual from the pandemic's scarcity.

It appears to me, money is a religion not real thing. If we just believe hard enough we can feed the world without any downsides.
