(How To Be A) Trillionaire?

Today, Elon Musk "officially" became a trillionaire.
Every news story that came out to report on Musk's space agency going public had him with that same dumb smirk on the cover. I wanted to smack that look right off of his face. I couldn't even bear to put his dopey mug in this article.
I started writing paragraph after paragraph, but ended up deleting them all. Everything I kept typing was a regurgitation of our article The Maximum Wage from 2023.
But I needed to time stamp today's date: 6-12-2026.
Why is that important?
As I watch the USA play Paraguay in the background, average ticket price $1,378, Americans will not stand for a trillionaire. Now Bernie Sanders is an old coot, but Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is still only 36 years old. Either AOC, or one of her peers, will trick Americans into voting for Socialism under the guise of simple Liberalism.
I'm not saying that's what should happen, I'm saying that's what will happen. America is a reactionary country. There will be a socialist president by 2056, specifically because of what happened with SpaceX and Elon Musk. Musk's Trillionaire status may be a win for him, but it will turn too many people away from the common sense warnings of socialism throughout history.
In 1985, the new wave band ABC predicted the future.
I've seen the future, I can't afford it
Tell you the truth, sir, someone just bought it....
Tell me, tell me
How to be (How to be) a millionaire
Millionaire, billionaire, trillionaire
I'm not the biggest fan of new wave music, but listening to ABC reminds me of going to Skate Station as a teenager.
Always had a soft spot in my heart for ABC's Poison Arrow.
Side Note: Talking about Rich Privilege, Justin Trudeau was canoodling with Katy Perry in the stands in Los Angeles (USA v Paraguay) just hours after watching Canada tie Bosnia in Toronto.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was also in the stands in L.A. The announcer said Abdul-Jabbar was "from the Lakers."
I yelled at the screen "FROM AIRPLANE!"
