MSNBC political analyst Anand Giridharadas suggested on Monday that it was only a “policy choice” that allows billionaires like Elon Musk to flourish in the United States.
claimed that billionaires are"inconsistent" with democracy and could be outlawed while appearing on Monday’s"Morning Joe."
He further made his case on the MSNBC program by insisting that billionaires only exist in the U.S."at our collective pleasure," suggesting it is a"policy choice" to"allow" the accumulation of such wealth. "I think something we often forget as Americans is that billionaires exist as a class of people who have that much money at our collective pleasure, right? It is a policy choice to allow some people to accumulate that much money, hundreds of billions of dollars, in the case of people in the United States before everybody has the chance to live with dignity, right? Other countries make that choice very differently.
