A wealth tax feels like a simplistic cop-out. The power that they confer, power to influence politics in the way that Musk does, creates dynasties a bit like the pharaohs of Egypt. Well, they are interfering in British politics. They are, but the odds to that isn't tax. There's nothing our tax system could do to stop that. On the other hand, we could have

had a rule that said people living outside the UK can't make political donations. You could

have done that, didn't do that. The wealth inequality can't be solved simply by tweaking capital

It could go up or go down. So I think when people try to do a really detailed payback calculation,

the problem is you don't really know what the alternative is. But I don't know many people who've

regretted getting these technologies because the one thing, whenever you get them, is it helps

insulate against the volatility

of the market prices. And so as far as I can tell, the vast majority of people who've made

that decision are happy with it. Greg, thank you very much. Now on with today's episode.

Now these days, it's all about who you work with.

You know, I couldn't imagine doing this podcast without Robert Peston.

You know, he's the font of all knowledge.

Sometimes too much knowledge, but never mind.

But if you think about partnerships and collaborations,

sometimes you might not put them together but they totally work.

Gary Lineker and Walker's Crisps, that's another one. That's been for years now, hasn't it?
