A poster surfaced denoting the increase in the wealth of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg while comparing it with the increase in the United States’ minimum wage during the same period. While the trio’s fortunes increased manifolds, there was no change in the United States’ minimum wage from 2012 to 2022. The conclusion of the poster was, “Tax the rich.” Further, Martina Navratilova reacted to this, saying, “Sums it up pretty well…”

Further, talking about his Twitter acquisition, Elon Musk said, “Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated. I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spambots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential – I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it.”
