Every day, Elon Musk, the richest person on the planet1, chooses not to give $1 billion to people who desperately need it.

You think $1 billion is a lot of money. It is. Yet: it’s less than 0.2% of what he’s worth. Not 2%. Two tenths of one percent. It’s less than that.

This is not his problem, alone. He is not the only one. This applies to those other couple dozen ultra-billionaires, too. But when you’re the number one fella, you’re the one in the spotlight. You’re not the only guilty one, but you absolutely are guilty as hell.

You have the power to help thousands (millions?) of people who are suffering, and you wake up every day and choose not to help them. Every living day.

I had a long essay in the works about billionaires2, but no need. This is the bottom line.

  1. Don’t talk to me about fucking “liquidity”, either. You think the “rules of finance” apply to the richest dozen people on the planet Earth? Cute. ↩

  2. It was called: “Billionaires, Fuck-You Money, and What Is Wrong With These People” ↩
