Totally agree. But that’s the corporate sponsored capitalism that the US has voted for.
Karl Marx predicted that free-market competition would inevitably result in monopolies and the concentration of massive productive forces under a single capitalist.
Sure. But that doesn’t mean you can’t compare musk to Rockefeller or use him as a benchmark.
Using someone as a known benchmark doesn’t mean they were good or bad, just that they’re an established quantity. Rockefeller was wealthy beyond normal levels of wealth. It makes sense to use him as a comparison.
This much wealth concentrated into one person is very wrong. Wealth leads to power and no one person should have that much power.
