    Tesla has a P/E Ratio of 1,920
    Apple in comparison P/E Ratio is 37
    Just shows how crazy the price is

    Some would say it's fundamentally unfair to tax people on income at all, and believe that a land value tax is the 'fairest' form of taxation since it is taxing something that existed long before humans laid arbitrary ownership over it, and people should pay a premium to have exclusivity over it.

    So you'd have Elon Musk paying pretty much nothing and loads of farmers paying a fortune?

    FYI I'd have Elon Musk shot by the Cheka and all means of production collectively owned by the workers :bandit:

    My point was some of the richest don't actually own lots of land and some of those with lots of land aren't at all rich, that doesn't seem very fair to me.

    If you shot all the people like Elon Musk ( which your comment and previous ones on this thread say so much about you as a person btw ) the "workers" would have sod all to collectively own.

    The difference that sets people like musk etc apart is they don't find excuses as to why things are bad or why they can't ever have a better life because the cards are rigged etc.... They just go out and make things happen.

    Really? If Musk died tomorrow vs all Tesla workers going on strike until further notice, which would have the biggest impact on production?

    I'd rather be the type of person who thinks billionaires should be shot than fanboy over them and lick their arse, mate. What sets him apart from the average person is the average person didn't inherit daddy's Apartheid emerald-mining fortunes, not his superior 'work ethic'.

    He didn’t inherit his money, he became the worlds richest man by being brilliant at what he does.

    He may be a cock, but he’s by far the world’s most successful cock and that’s absolutely down to him.

    No thanks. I have zero interest in indulging you in these games……

    make your own billion, become a catalyst for change. Or moan from the sidelines…. Your call x

    Just him, not the 70,000 employees at Tesla? You're right, for a guy who isn't even a qualified engineer, for him to write all the code for Tesla's technology and manufacture every single unit of production himself is remarkable.

    I'm sure to you and the other 'entrepreneurs' who fancy themselves as benevolent job-creators, probably.
