A speaker argues that redistributing Elon Musk's wealth wouldn't work because the money would flow back to him through spending on his companies like Starlink. He claims Musk earned his fortune through voluntary investment and calls wealth redistribution communist garbage, saying capitalism is the only system that matches human nature.
If you take Elon Musk's wealth and divide it by all Americans, every American can get $7,000. We need to redistribute wealth. Sure, and then what? People would take that money, spend it on stuff. Other businesses would take that money, and then they might need internet, so they're gonna need Starlink, or they might need AI, so they'll pay Starlink's data centers. So one way or another, it's gonna end up in his pockets anyways. He didn't steal that money, he earned it. Every investor that put money in Tesla and SpaceX did it out of their own free will. So enough with this communist garbage. If you redistribute the wealth, the current system will give it back to who earned it in the first place. We tried communism, it doesn't work. Capitalism and free market is the only system that works because it reflects best the imperfection of the human nature. So if you want $7,000, go and fucking earn it.
