Only the Epstein class gets that service.

The main reason most of these tech CEOS (except Elon) became GOP supporters is they got butt hurt that people started to push for accountibility for the clear harms from their product instead of being praised as genuis wunderkinds. So much of this is the fragile male ego of 7 dudes.

All these Silcon Valley tech bros read speculative fiction distopias and all thought "that's cool!" instead of getting the message that this stuff is a terrible outcome for basically everyone... even the rich eventually lose.

The US goverment actually imposed austerity after the stock market crash... which made it worse. The problem is not deficit spending in economic downturns. It's slashing corporate taxes, estate tax, and wars even in good times that's landed us in this place.

"Supply-side economics" worked exactly as intended: it made a few people wealthy and crippled the regulatory power of the State. That's all it ever did. Some "true-believer" economics at the Chicago school thought it was real, but the people in power used them too.

Both SpaceX and Tesla survived on public government money. It's corporate welfare.

The modern oligarchs don't sell stock. That would be subject to laws and taxes. They just borrow against it with no restrictions at all.

I could buy that argument if there was anything about this IPO that included a single path of accountability for his outrageous claims. Public shares have zero voting control that matters. All parties have agreed to mandatory private arbitration that elimanates class action suits. He gets all the benefits of public capital with zero public control.
