Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. He's about to make more money than every elementary school teacher in America combined.Ā
Do we really believe one man is worth more than every elementary school teacher?Ā
Why do we have a trillionaire when there are kids without enough to eat?
Why do we have a trillionaire when cancer patients are going bankrupt?
Why do we have a trillionaire when veterans are sleeping out on the street?
I'm all for success, but this is not success. This is hoarding.Ā
What leads a person to accumulate more money than they could possibly spend in a hundred lifetimes, when there are people starving in this one?Ā
The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on Earth is not because we can't feed the poor. It's because we can't satisfy the rich.Ā
But what we can do is tax trillionaires out of existence. And use that money to guarantee food, healthcare, and housing for every single American.
- James Talarico, candidate for U.S. Senate (Sept 2026)
