Because they have been doing insider trading.
Hmmm. And the poor have gotten poorer?
Almost sounds like theft.

History is full of former evil empires. USA is number one on that list. It is The most evil society ever build and the world would be bettet without.
It is The most evil society ever build
there are some pretty tight competitors for that spot if we try not to have a recency bias
Elon musk isn’t American
Billionaires shouldn’t exist.
Blue shell the rich.

“have gained”

Kill them
340,099,990 Poorest Americans have each given an average of $2000 to the 10 other people in the country so far this year.

The Vanderbilts and Rockerfellers and JP Morgans weren’t the ones bankrupted by the Great Depression. Elon Musk will not be the protagonist of the next Steinbeck novel. The “collapse” will just be further economic consolidation, until the people being squeezed are willing to resist their own exploitation as a collective unit.
If the stock market loses 90% of its value tomorrow, all that changes is valuation. The physical capital remains in the hands of the plutocrats as does the command over the bulk of human labor. And the pain we feel will be the consequence of policies they impose, not any real shortfall of goods or dearth of professional services.
Which is why we need to invest in non-capitalist owned economies. The more we grow these economies the more resilient the average person can be. Things like the CFNE need to expand https://cooperativefund.org/. More businesses need to be in a circular local economy where people’s needs can be met without the wealthiest getting profits.
Your second paragraph explains exactly why they’re all so horny for AI.
If it makes you feel better, I’ve noticed a lot, lot more private security in the uber-rich neighborhood I have to pass to get to work.
They’re scared.
Not scared enough.
Forbes says the top 400 have 6,6 trillions and the entry point is at 3,8 billion.

Capitalists keep saying in socialism everyone would be poor equally. I would be fine beeing equally poor like this.
