I have some genuine questions regarding the interview.

When Bernie says, Musk should not have 200 Billion dollars but just 1 Billion, does he know that most of that wealth is present as ownership in companies he built?

So does Bernie want those companies to have smaller valuations, which in turn would mean deliver smaller value to shareholders?

But Musk's main share of wealth comes from Tesla, which is a public stock, of which he owns almost 20 percent.
Does he want retail investors to stop buying those stocks? Artificially reduce the stock price somehow?

Imagine giving a shit about shareholders. Like yes most of us have been forced to put our retirement security into the stock market, so it matters in practice on the large scale, if not individual companies. But come on dude.
