Nothing more hilarious than billionaire simps.
The main thing sitting between me and being a billionaire is my conscience and moral values. I'm of the opinion that to become a billionaire you must necessarily have psychopathic tendencies.
For example: No way I could stand up on stage and bullshit my way through a Cybertruck reveal knowing it's all lies and unfinished ideas.
Not just billionaires, there's research showing that a high percentage of senior executives are likely to be psychopaths. Capitalist system selects for this behavior. People who are willing to lie, cheat, and step on others, are the ones that are rewarded and get ahead. Honest people with morals get filtered out along the way because they aren't willing to do what a psychopath would do to succeed.

I'm pro universal basic income and a 99% tax after something around a few mil of annual income. I'd generally advocate for a societal system where such wealth accumulation by an individual is impossible.
"Lefties" like you make me sick to my stomach. You can only whine your jealous tears and complain about the housing market. You're the reason everyone thinks the left are a bunch of idiot kids in colorful clothes. In a utopic communist society you'd be leeching off while whining about how everyone keeps working even though it's clearly unnecessary.
You must've used the power of both your brain cells to write that comment.
