As I wrote late last year, it does seem lately, however, the idea that money equals merit has finally started to falter in the public imagination.
Having established that money doesn't equal brains was just the first step, though.
Now another question is starting to arise in the public discourse around those who have impossibly huge bank accounts: Does having too much money damage a person's mental health?.
The most obvious example, of course, is Musk, who is having a midlife crisis so unhinged that it would be upsetting if he weren't such a terrible person.
He has supposedly accepted the cage match invitation and is posting taunting photos from his martial arts training.
The worst that could happen is people like Musk have less money to invest in harebrained schemes like "ChatGPT, but more racist."
With so much to gain and nothing to lose, it's time to tax billionaires until they are billionaires no longer. »
