Elon Musk is currently living a nomadic lifestyle.
The billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO made the revelation in a Sunday interview with TED head Chris Anderson, when commenting on wealth disparity in the world today.
"There are many other people out there who can't stand this world of billionaires," Anderson began. "They are hugely offended by the notion that an individual can have the same wealth as a billion or more of the world's poorest people."
Musk, 50, argued that he believes there are "some axiomatic flaws that are leading" these types of critics "to that conclusion," explaining of himself, "For sure, it would be very problematic if I was consuming billions of dollars a year in personal consumption."

(11,767 posts)No, actually. If you were consuming billions of dollars a year, then that money would be flowing into the economy you stupid idiot. The problem is the billionaires hoard wealth, keep it out of circulation, that is unless they are using it to buy politicians to rig the game even more to their favor.
When you give wealthy people money, it does not return to the economy like when you give it to middle class and poor people. WE buy things. That pays people to make those things. If 10,000 people by 2 pairs of pants each, that is 20,000 pants that need to be made. You don't buy 20,000 pairs of pants. Even if you buy a 90 million dollar private plane, it is only ONE plane and a very niche industry that is supported.
Typical clueless piece of crap.
