The Making of the World’s First Trillionaire, our second session of Socialist Summer School, we turned our attention to the stark reality of modern inequality. Together, we confronted the absurdity of a world where one person can amass a trillion dollars while working families are forced to choose between dinner and gas money. With Joe Tache, we broke down exactly how much a trillion dollars really is, and traced the rise of figures like Elon Musk, not as a story of individual genius, but as a case study in exploitation and the capitalist system that breeds massive inequality by design. This is how we learn to see the system clearly: not as a broken accident, but as a structure that can be challenged and changed. 🗓️ Now – Aug. 20 • Tuesdays & Thursdays 🕕 6:30–8:30 PM ET + some Saturdays 1–3 PM ET 💻📍 HYBRID!
