Because his security goons reading this too lol

It is cute how rich waste all this money to check social media for threat actors while we are just posting and commenting from our moms basements

Real men like the Adjuster just get the job done without providing signals for pinkertons to scarpe.

The parasite classes should note that when they get deposed, we didn’t see nothing.

Musk still has a $122B lead on Bezos, and made $104B of it in the last 32 days.

He has a $122 BILLION lead, and he’s earned $133 BILLION over the past year.

His wealth has increased by 50% over the past year alone

But Bezos literally controls THE ENTIRETY OF ONLINE COMMERCE and destroys companies and small businesses with a simple mouse click.

Literally DESTROYS COMMERCE with a simple mouse click.

He is the Ultimate Evil Capitalist; the JD Rockefeller of our generation.

Part of the problem is that other sites are just soooo shit when it comes to online shopping. I hate Amazon and Bezos, but they are dominating 1. Because they are a monopoly, but 2. Because they simply are better at everything.

From customer service, to app, to search, to tracking and returns, no-one else comes close.

It sucks, but it’s the truth.

Because inflation and stock markets are going nuts. And since everyone working has their pension invested, their wealth went up as well. Plus house prices went up. The problem is that people confuse wealth with money. And wealth is not money. You can’t buy bread with wealth.

By definition if inflation doubles and the value of your estate doesn’t change, your actual wealth didn’t change.

It’s more like they have tons of more money and larger numbers in their portfolio. it’s however not a significant increase in actual wealth, since the money they have is increasingly wort less and the worth of their assets are increasingly more and more speculative in nature. The pockets of billionaires is where all the printed money eventually ends up and society is no richer for it. The money contributes to inflation, but it really doesn’t get invested or anything.

That’s not how it works. They use it as Capital to influence politics and things like that, which buys them more influence, which they use to reduce workers pay, rights, and benefits even further, which they absolutely use to acquire more wealth.

Every billion they gain comes at the cost to worker rights.

They’ll double next decade too, don’t worry. We humans aren’t really good at this planetary dominion shit. We’ve only really been at it for 200 years or so and we’re already fucking up.
