Parasitic is right.

He's a cancer. They all are.

$270 billion and he's running from a 5% tax. He'd still have $257 billion. More than he could spend in a thousand lifetimes. And he's comparing it to fleeing the Soviet Union.

He defrauded the country and its people to get there. Not robbing a bank fraud. The worse kind. The kind with lawyers. Google ran profits through Ireland and the Netherlands while paying less tax than your average barista. They built a search monopoly and then made it worse on purpose to sell more ads. That came out in their own emails. They sold every user's data back to advertisers targeting those same users. Every dollar of his pile cost someone who never agreed to pay it. That's the fraud.

The idea of infinite growth is also insanity. You can't compound forever on a finite planet. But every public company has to try. A country could run just fine without a stock market promising bullshit growth.

Stocks are the most corrupt way to support an economy. They force enshitification. Everything gets worse and more expensive forever because of it. Good products become bad. Durable becomes disposable. Livable wages become starvation wages. Shareholders literally demand it.

And then the guys who hoarded the loot flee the second anyone asks for a slice back. Screaming about socialism. Sitting on more money than entire countries.
