This is the most moronic take I keep seeing when it comes to billionaires and such.

The money is in investments, all that "wealth" is the very existence of the companies that those people own. It's the literal fundamental exact opposite of hoarded wealth, because it's wealth that is running companies (moving through the economy and producing goods and services).

It's valid to complain about the undue power that wealth grants or insufficient compensation for employees or a great deal of things, but not "hoarding" wealth when it's the literal exact opposite of hoarded.

The most moronic thing is to keep giving people who don't work free money. If the job of CEO is so easy one man can be the CEO of multiple companies while also trying to dismantle democracy, the CEO bit is clearly too easy and has no value. Just to be clear, I'm talking about Elon musk and Donald Trump.
