Tech billionaire Elon Musk called on Wednesday for Volodymyr Zelensky to “go” as Ukraine’s leader, after insisting any disruption to the war-torn country’s use of his satellite communications system was the fault of the US government, not his company.
The comments came as Kyiv raised doubts over US support for Ukraine in its war with Russia, accusing Washington this week of helping Moscow by failing to warn it of incoming missile strikes and hobbling Kyiv’s military response through changes to the SpaceX-designed system it uses for communications.
This is why we should treat objections to taxing the rich as inefficient, ineffective, or not having “economic sense” as irrelevant. This is about power. The point of taxing these shits is not raising money. It’s about dealing with the fact that they have gotten too powerful. They need to be cut down to size if we are to keep any pretext of republican government (much more so for democratic) alive. This is how the Roman Republic fell.
