      How do you imagine that should work? Let’s take Elon as an example. He owns companies that got successful, hence the wealth. It is not cash under his mattress or in the back account, that would be simple to take.

        Oh, wait, that didn’t help it just made millionaires into billionaires? Who could have imagined!?!?

        Obviously one can tax the companies and they can collect money from revenues or collect money by selling shares to investors.
