There is a reason that envy is considered a sin. Musk is building the infrastructure for our future. Warren and friends are leading to our destruction. Musk doesn't seem motivated by money but a desire to create. But punish this impulse? It will de-incentivize future creators. I have this conversation with as many as I can in CA where a billionaire tax is on the ballot. But too many are seething with either envy. If male, I call it menvy or ill-placed compassion. That said, I blame the Silicon titans for this. They funded a lot of this garbage with their outsourced guilt forcing everyone else into Neo-Marxists world. Now it is boomeranging back on them.
I feel the same way. The more I read history and listen to philosophy the more I see we are repeating human patterns of scapegoating and murder. That truly seems part of our DNA.

Yesterday's elections do not fill me with confidence.

Envy politics fuels Marxism. They can't create a thing but envy for those who create everything.
