To be clear, confiscating everything Musk, Theil, Zuckerberg and Bezos have absolutely would make my life better off. Think about the amount of political meddling by Musk in the past year alone, things he could never do if he weren't so rich.

Trump isn't rich (or at least wasn't rich before he became president for the first time), and managed to do lots of meddling just fine.

If anything, I'd like rich people (in general) to play more of a role. I'd take Bloomberg or Romney over the popular candidates any day.

You might need a refresher in history. Trump has ALWAYS been wealthy.
