That part of the Twitter thread actually made me laugh out loud. In the middle of talking about how modern finance is messed up he has a kind of unprompted little aside about how “taxes are bad!!!”

Dear lord the amount of smug “wE aRe ThE mOSt EfFicIEnt wAY Of AllOCaTinG CaPitAl” arguments from very wealthy founders that would prefer to become more wealthy is frankly ridiculous. I get it, you went to Stanford and they taught you some fancy words to trick people into giving you money instead of investing in public infrastructure and services.

Especially since it's easy for founders of such large companies to sell their shares, but give themselves fewer shares with greater voting rights… thereby maintaining control while spreading the wealth.

"most" does a lot of work here since it's a relative term. I'm not sure I'd exactly call them efficient but I'm not sure there's a _more_ efficient way that I've seen.
