Issue with too much wealth is their ability to control govt policy and put regular population at a huge disadvantage. Musk is doing that now, Republican politicians don't have the courage to go against him because he can pump a lot of money against them

It is already happening in America, across fed govt, state governments, local towns ...etc.
Government has to keep a level playing field for all its citizens so they can work, compete ...etc.
