The issue I feel, is we live in a society that equates money with importance.
A guy who can command hundreds of billions is important by way of how much pull he can exert on the overall economy. If Altman says we’re going to build a thousand new datacenters that consume a gigawatt of power a year each, and he’s breaking ground on the project next week, commodities brokers can’t just blink past it.
The headline should be Stop Talking to Technology Executives, Tax Them.
Who is the headline talking to? Unless this is a media journal exclusively consumed by Congresscritters, you’re just preaching to the choir. Nobody wants to tax the Tech Billionaires because nobody wants to get tech billionaire money plowed into a rival’s campaign.
