      How much of it? The world’s largest and most famous billionaires don’t even make up a rounding error in the world’s economy (hell, most countries blow Musk’s entire fortune annually on the dumbest conceivable shit), nor is their money ‘removed’ from it. Hell, the richest people in the world have the vast majority of their wealth tied up in their own company’s stocks, which by definition is money that’s playing an active role in the economy.

      Like seriously dude, there’s good reasons to hate billionaires and the current state of the global economy, but at least come up with valid arguments and criticisms that can convince people; otherwise, you’re just blowing hot air that only serves to paint legitimate critics as crazy people.
