  No it’s not.
  
  Public will be left holding the bag.
  
  Those companies are bleeding money everywhere, as soon as it hits open market they will crash and burn.
  
  Let the rich keep those ‘’‘‘assets’’‘’. It’s all stolen anyway.

    The text doesn’t read buy, it reads transfer. Basically force all AI companies to issue one extra share per share currently held and handed over to the fund.
    
    Assume they could be non voting shares, but have them be paid the same dividends as other shareholders
    
    But I don’t get why this would be preferred to increasing capital tax or company taxes
