If you earned $1000 an hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for the rest of your life, and you didn't pay any tax, and you didn't spend a cent.
And you worked for 100 years.
You would still only have 0.25% of the money Elon Musk has.

The fact that Elon Musk wanted to give Nigel Farage and Reform UK $100m but couldn't because it was illegal should be the death of Reform, who supposedly are all about sovereignty and the 'working' man.
But it won't be because they are all stupid.

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”
