@SomeMichGuy 10% of the population holds approximately 67% of the total wealth in the United States. The bottom 50% hold about 2.5% of total wealth.

@ElwoodBlues That makes sense with the way those figures were going.

@Lhayezee
Is there a remotely credible scenario where this can happen? And if people stop buying Tesla cars, musk's net worth would go negative, because he's using his Tesla shares to keep all his losing companies afloat.

People are not going to stop using Facebook. Or even slow their use. Unfortunately.

@Northwest It's about as likely as my grandmother not-buying a Christmas ornament in August if she sees one.

@ElwoodBlues And Warren Buffett gives his charitable donations direct to the Gates Foundation, because as he sees it, they do the best work, why reinvent the wheel. Buffett is a practical man.

@trollslayer says Maybe not. But Zuckerberg is only about 41. Gates started his foundation at age 44 and by age 50 (2006) had contributed $36 to $39 billion to it. There's time for Zuck to get concerned about his legacy and give philanthropy a fling.

:: UPDATE ::
Dec 4, 2015 — Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan say they will give away 99% of their Facebook shares to good causes over the course of their lifetimes via the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI)

@ElwoodBlues Note that Gates' generosity was prompted by his (2nd?) wife...and Zuckerberg, the nerd voyeur with an ego to rival DJT, seems to also have required feminine intervention to become "charitably-minded"...

@GuidanceCounselor so 3-4 people can purchase elections and control what happens to the other 90%. The constitution requires equal representation not meaningless elections. Thats what Russia has had for 30 years.

@whowasthatmaskedman I’m not surprised it’s been the trend in this century. Many don’t realize it I fear.

@Kypro When you look at the numbers its bleeding obvious. Money doesnt trickle down. It trickle up. Thats just a fact..😷
