Pretty interesting how he's fully accepted that there will be "a wealth tax" as a result of a backlash against AI

I wish I were as confident as he is...

He's not. It's a thinly veiled attempt to pump crypto.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How does this accomplish that?

If wealth is in crypto maybe they think it can't be found to be taxed

It's also a thinly veiled attempt to land at tax other than 100%, and overseen by courts that we suspect he has influence over.

I like the confidence. I imagine things could still go that well for him. Everyone should get a chance to dream of nice things.

For someone who has taken so much from the rest of us, a mere tax could be a pretty nice outcome.
