    In fact, billionaires are rich enough to buy elections and control governments. Trillionaires are going to control all the governments.

    Our first trillionaire is the breaking of a seal for the entire industrialized world. It’s an apocalyptic sign.

      This is a fact. A trillionare can in theory basically rule over multiple governments. although keep in mind most of this value is locked up in stocks, assets and other things that are not “cash”. Meaning it’s more on paper then directly spendable.

      That being said, obviously it’s still dangerous that a single person has so much leverage.
