The leading French economist Gabriel Zucman is urging European governments to inflict financial pain on American billionaires in response to US President Donald Trump’s effort to seize control of Greenland, a mineral-rich island that some of Trump’s rich campaign donors see as a potentially massive profit opportunity.
“Access to the European market—by billionaires and the companies they own—should be made conditional on paying a wealth tax: in effect, a tariff for oligarchs. If Elon Musk, for example, wants to keep selling Teslas in Europe, he should have to pay it. If he refuses, Tesla would lose access to the European market.”
Forget taxing them, the ones who committed crimes against humanity (Zuckerberg with enabling the Rohingya genocide, Musk for the disastrous disorderly shut down of USAID).
And get rid of all American oligarch gang activity; Apple, Google, Meta, all of them.
Europe has to get the ball rolling on a tech independence from US owned infrastructure (cloud). Then they can ban them.
Of course, not a disorderly one, a multi-staged, organization expulsion of US services.
