Someone put this "blue plaque" on a London Tesla showroom to mark his becoming the world's first trillionaire. “World’s first trillionaire Elon Musk. Could have solved world hunger but funded fascists instead. Bellend.”

If we didn’t have billionaires would we still have this round of consumptive large scale data centres / GanAI which have unknown risks and unknown uses for a general citizen?

Random idea: new company type which has to report or is restricted in how much carbon it can release, like a charity has to report each year to be labelled as a charity; this new company type gets access to grants & funding opportunities from innovateUK, &inveatora etc- other companies no longer can
