In an interview with TRT World reacting to Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, Chuck Collins, Director of the Program on Inequality and the Common Good and author of Burned by Billionaires, explains why this milestone is less a story about innovation than about the unchecked concentration of political power. “I think it’s a dark day for democracy. It’s a dark day for those of us concerned about concentrations of wealth and power,” Chuck says.
