Brivael Le Pogam responds to Gavin Newsom's tweet criticizing Elon Musk becoming the first trillionaire. The post argues Newsom and similar figures panic because Musk built wealth through reusable rockets, electric cars, and a satellite network rather than through inheritance, taxes, or regulation. It contrasts value-creating professions like engineers and farmers with politicians, bureaucrats, and activists whose status relies on taxing and redistributing wealth others produce.
The author states each Starship launch publicly refutes the worldview that wealth exists only to be redistributed. Newsom's claim that the system is rigged is flipped: the rigged system is the one where power comes from distributing other people's money, while Musk's approach makes space launches 100 times cheaper.
The agitation from media and politicians is described as existential fear that status must now come from creating something tangible rather than posture or diplomas. The post closes by noting the growing pie leaves room for everyone, even those currently panicking.
If the socialists confiscated Elon’s PayPal profits, we probably wouldn’t have had Starlink, Tesla, nor SpaceX as well as a Twitter that still censors on a hyperbolic scale. This is why we seriously need to lower the tax burden.
Trump made Elon rich in my view: Most of his companies aren’t even making a profit.
I am not a fan of this fake net worth of the stock market.
Interesting point.

Yep. The "bullshit quotient" is coming to an end in the world
