The world's 10 richest people surged by a combined $63.5 billion on November 6 , says Frida Ghitis .

Ghitis: The single richest billionaire, and the most toxic, is Elon Musk .

She says the oligarchs stand to do better when the economy (and the country) go to hell.

She asks: Why is anybody who deplores Trump 's reelection and Musk ’s own degradation of public discourse with racism, antisemitism, misogyny , misogyny and misogyny still playing in his sandbox?.

The New Republic is a century-old publication dedicated to liberalism. It has suffered, in the internet age, from the same commercial difficulties with which the rest of the print media must contend. It must seek out new readers as never before. But we’ve reached a point where TNR ’s reputation will suffer if it continues to do business with Elon Musk .
