Speaker 2 (00:03):
The Jones demand of arms for the pub test trillionaires
do they pass the pub test?

Speaker 3 (00:07):
Well.

Speaker 4 (00:07):
Elon Musk, who is tied to of course Tesla SpaceX
other ventures as well, is on track to be the
world's first trillionaire. To put that in a context, if
you saved ten thousand dollars every day since Jesus was born,
you still wouldn't be as rich as Elon Musk, which
just shows the escalation of modern wealth and the accumulation
of that in the tech age. All our billionaires and

(00:30):
our future trillionaires are these tech bros who have a
lot of power. Billie Eilish recently, when she was accepting
an award, suggested that billionaires, you don't need to be billionaires,
donate more money. And she's put a money where her
mouth is. From her recent tour she has donated the
Australian equivalent of seventeen million dollars.

Speaker 5 (00:49):
That's a lot of money.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
It's a lot of money.

Speaker 5 (00:51):
She probably makes a lot of money as well. Yeah,
well that's what of course she does.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Not that I'm a big Elon must support it. But
if you make a lot of money, then you make
a lot of money you're going to have overheads. We
don't know if he actually donates money to charities. He
might actually do it and be quiet. Like Kerry Packet
used to give people money.

Speaker 5 (01:08):
All the time.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
He doesn't have a foundation that people know about, but
maybe it does have much. But there is more inequity
in wealth in the world than.

Speaker 5 (01:17):
There's some people to sit on there bum and don't
do anything.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
You know, you can't help the society will always have
that unless we're a communist country, and then that doesn't
work either, because Putin's probably one of the richest people.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
In the world.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Well that's what this pop test is asking you today. Trillionaires,
Is it okay? Do they pass the pub test?

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I think it's a ridiculous amount of money. How would
you even spend that amount of money in a lifetime
when you know it's just too much for one person.
I just don't agree with that. You know, there's so
many people struggling and don't have anything in this world.
It's just ridiculous.

Speaker 6 (01:52):
It doesn't pass the pub test. There's only so much
money one person needs and you really need to share
it around. Trillions is just too much money for one person.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
So Elon Musk has actually made a brand that's been
quite successful with batteries, pass et cetera, et cetera. If
this was one of us, being an Aussie or another
person and they made the money, we'd be saying the
same thing, what about me?

Speaker 6 (02:13):
What about that?

Speaker 1 (02:14):
To me?

Speaker 3 (02:14):
I Reckon, you've done the hard Jase, He's done a
great job. So to me, it passes the pub test.

Speaker 6 (02:18):
Look, I think you can't take the money with you,
so a little bit here to enjoy yourself. But give
a little share a little because yeah, you can't take
it when you go.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
It's true, Brandon, I'm just gonna give a little share
a little.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
Why don't you give all your money?

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Why don't you give.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
All your money? Why don't you you
