On the June 12 episode of Real Time With Bill Maher, the comedian addressed Elon Musk’s historic milestone after SpaceX went public, making Musk the world’s first trillionaire. Maher acknowledged Musk’s achievements with companies like Tesla, Neuralink, Starlink, and Twitter, but emphasized the staggering nature of his new wealth.
He joked that Musk might use his fortune to escape California taxes by moving to Mars, underscoring the surreal scale of the accomplishment.
Maher then raised a provocative question: should trillionaires even be allowed? He suggested that laws could limit individuals from amassing more than 1% of the nation’s gross product, pointing to historical precedents like Rockefeller.
In conversation with Eurasia Group’s Ian Bremmer and host Hagar Chemali, Maher explored whether unchecked wealth concentration poses risks to society, hinting at the need for regulation in the face of unprecedented fortunes.
The host concluded with a warning that Musk will not be the last to reach this level of wealth. He predicted that other tech figures, particularly those driving advances in artificial intelligence, could follow suit.
Maher expressed skepticism about how this trend might unfold, suggesting that the rise of multiple trillionaires could have troubling consequences for the future.
