"It's important that we feel the outrage of children going hungry, people being homeless, 85 million without healthcare, [and] you got one guy one guy Mr. Musk, whose own wealth is more than the bottom 52% of American households, Sanders said. The 83-year-old socialist continued: You may have seen in the papers, they want to give him a little bonus another $800 billion-$900 billion! We are living in crazy world!"
"Millions of people struggling to put food on the table, and making one guy a trillionaire is insane, not about what this country is supposed to be about, and we are not going to allow that to happen. Sanders made the bold comment while standing beside Mamdani at the Fighting Oligarchy town hall at Brooklyn College. He was referring to Tesla's board of directors proposing a new pay package for Musk that could push his net worth north of $1 trillion."
"Despite a rocky year for Tesla on Wall Street, Musk remains the world's richest person, with a net worth of $342 billion, according to Forbes. The senior senator from Vermont did not share specifics on how he and Mamdani would block Musk from becoming a trillionaire. Sanders, a moment before calling out Musk, railed against the richest one percent of Americans, saying they have never had it so good."
Bernie Sanders joined Zohran Mamdani at a Brooklyn College town hall to condemn a proposed Tesla pay package that could raise Elon Musk's net worth toward $1 trillion. Sanders highlighted children going hungry, homelessness, and 85 million uninsured as evidence of severe need while noting Musk's wealth exceeds that of the bottom 52% of households. Sanders labeled making one person a trillionaire as inconsistent with national values and vowed to prevent it without offering procedural specifics. The event reinforced Sanders's critique of the richest 1% and his support for Mamdani's Democratic Socialist platform.
