Fraught Dems fret that Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is \u201cbad news.\u201d Their rationale: it represents increasing wealth inequality. Good! The alternative is poverty equality.<\/p>

Depending on its source, some wealth inequality is not so good. For example, when it is a zero-sum scenario in an impoverished socialist society wherein the \u201cdictators of the proletariat\u201d confiscate hard-earned wealth from the masses. They are living high on the hog while the hapless peasants slurp at the trough.<\/p>\n

By contrast, wealth inequality in a mostly free-market, capitalist society is splendid indeed. The key differential is that wealth is growing for everyone. Consider the recent SpaceX Initial Public Offering. It not only propelled Musk into rarified financial territory but also created numerous billionaires and multitudes of millionaires. Most of that money will not be stuffed into mattresses, but will circulate in the economy, benefiting more people downstream.<\/p>\n

A conundrum of happiness economics is that people are walking, talking, status meters. Even if their wealth in absolute terms is increasing, if it lags relative to others, dissatisfaction sets in, providing fodder for Dem poverty pimps.<\/p>\n

Consider Senator Ralph Warnock (D-GA), who recently said of Musk\u2019s wealth, \u201c\u2026it\u2019s a bright indication of growing wealth inequality.\u201d Ironically, he\u2019s right, albeit for the wrong reasons. Growing wealth inequality is a \u201cbright indication\u201d when it results from free-market capitalism — the economic pie expands for all. Conversely, \u201cwealth equality\u201d is an oxymoron. In fact, the redistributing-cum-confiscatory policies are inhumane; they squelch innovation and incentive (our essential human spirit), thereby ensuring \u201cpoverty equality.\u201d<\/p>

In addition to his sheer entrepreneurial brilliance, Musk works harder than anyone. While he and his devoted teams are providing essential products and services that improve all our lives, he barely has time to enjoy the fruits of his own labor. Yet, despite his grand wealth, I\u2019m guessing many who benefit from his efforts are happier than he. Indeed, Mr. Musk is always striving, and he\u2019s not always the embodiment of happiness. In fact, he stated that \u201cmoney can\u2019t buy happiness,\u201d and he\u2019d know.<\/p>\n

Per market forces (mostly) and the collective wisdom of innumerable consumers, Musk has earned his inequality. So don\u2019t worry about his 13-digit stash or his leverage on the capital markets. Don\u2019t even worry about \u201ckeeping up with the Joneses,\u201d just be grateful that the economic axiom is playing out again — a rising tide lifts all boats, no matter their size. Be grateful that Musk is sacrificing some happiness for your benefit.\u00a0 Don’t worry, be happy.<\/p>\n

If Warnock were truly altruistic rather than a pandering politician, he\u2019d stop obsessing about wealth gaps and focus on the achievement gaps that inevitably cause them. Of course, that won\u2019t happen — in the 2022 election cycle, he was the top recipient of union money. From the teacher\u2019s union PAC, he was the teacher\u2019s pet.<\/p>
