This is what's worse about our Gilded Age.

Robber Barons actually had to work.

Obviously, what Elon's ultimately against is democracy.

Literally, no human on earth has benefited more from government spending. He just doesn't like the idea of government serving up anyone but him.

Back when bread was baked communally, it wasn't unusual to bake really big loaves and use the bread through the week, iirc. Not sure that that would amount to a gallon.
