Here’s the deal:

There is a finite amount of money in the world, and it all has an owner.

This means that not everybody can become richer simultaneously.

You with me so far, capitalist apologists?

So, how does an individual become richer? By getting money from somebody else.

And what happens when somebody gives money to somebody else? The giver becomes less rich.

Now, since Elon Musk is getting richer overall, and there’s a finite amount of money in the world, where is he getting that money?
