    I imagine a lot of this data is because they are the ones cashing out so I don’t know how accurate this is. I feel Its more likely the American population’s 401k are losing the value here. Billionaires selling off billions vs my measly 100k is going to have a more dramatic market effect. If that’s the case hopefully we see some massive capital gains tax… But my guess is this money is being reinvested somewhere else or offshored.

    Goddamn there’s being a pathetic simp, and then there’s wearing a “Trump was right about everything” hat. People theorize that Musk is the boss in their relationship but I bet some trump crony put the hat in his hands and said “wear it”. And he did. And then later asked if trump saw him wearing it.

    5 years is nothing, wake me up when we have hit a recession worse than the 1920’s. Let Americans starve, really, as that is exactly what they voted for. I really really wish it were different but here we are, this is trump world now
