Agreed, just gonna point out that not all (though certainly most) of them are American. Elon and Prince Andrew being good examples.
Side thought, I’d like to see the ratio of billionaires by nationality. I imagine most would be either American or Chinese, but would be interesting numbers to look at. 🤔
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Billionaires_by_nationality
this is much easier to visualize, I didn’t think there were that many billionaires
Wow! Thanks, I was right about the numbers being neato, but it’s also depressing to think about. 😭
It’s a lot of money but not that much for super rich people I guess
My country has way too many billionaires.
That’s a low bar to clear
Sorry, is Lebanon the country with the 2 billionaires in the corner? I’m terrible at remembering flags, mb.
Yes
924 billionaires in the U.S. with a combined $7 trillion in “wealth”. So once Mandani takes all of it away to pay the debt, who is going to pay the remaining $33 trillion?
Elon is American granted citizenship in 2002, 24 years ago.
I make this point not for Elon, but for other naturalized citizens. Once granted citizenship you are American, that’s one of the few good things I like about this country. I’ve lived and traveled to other countries where it doesn’t matter if you became a citizen or not because the locals will always consider you not one of them.
citizen or not the locals see you as ‘other’
So, the US lol
I can only speak of my expirences in the US and other places, but for the most part no that’s not how it is in the US.
Yes you can find a racist asshole in every country, but what’s the point. I wouldn’t say every Italian is uneducated because I found a person that didn’t complete school. This is why extremes make bad evidence.
But admittedly I left the US before things got out of control. Our federal government is certainly making an attempt at trying to define who should be American. Sad to see and goes against one of the few things I truly loved about my country
I guess the difference is just money, which tracks. Any poor foreigner with citizenship would be deported.
That’s simply a load of bullshit. I won’t tell you ICE hasn’t done it or tried it, but I can tell you they haven’t deported even 1% of poor foreign born US citizens.
We have some big issues yes, but no need to overstate them
Andrew was never a billionaire either.
Fair enough, I guess I just assumed since he came from royalty.
He was only the spare, but he was mummy’s favourite so she paid him an allowance of £250k, which he heavily overspent which led to all these dirty deals with the likes of Epstein to sell invites to royal parties etc.
While the Royal family are billionaires, that is mostly the assets of the Crown Estate which are controlled for the public good. What they keep is centred around the King and the Prince of Wales.
You could live a very nice life on that, especially if you inflation adjusted it, with how much that was at the times.
what might help is if you shifted away from an amount like a billion to a mechanism and class - they are of the capitalist owning classes who exploit because that is how capitalism works. billionaires to millionaires to thousandaires. own and exploit? boom: roasted.

Whole
USbillionaire classYeah, I have no idea why you’d limit it to the US.
No billionaire should even exist
Yeah there’s not really that many problematic influentials, I reckon no more than 1000 at best around the world. The rest are all taking orders to one degree or another.
Replaced, the planet would be substantially better off.
there are over 3000 billionaires, a very manageable number for the rest of us to eat
Despite having to be a sociopath to hoard that much money, even here on the fediverse people will still defend some billionaires because a few of their aims happen to align.
At 200 it’s not even a class, just a club.
It’s a big club and we ain’t in it.
To be fair, I don’t think most people who to be in that club.
It feels wrong to apply a term as memey as “cringe” to something as dark as the Epstein files but Elon’s cringe is just so overwhelming it can’t be helped.
Who would have thought the shithead pushing Ai slop that undresses women & children without consent would be a fucking pedo 🤮
Girls, it also undresses young girls.
And apparently the grok website/app or whatever will generate explicit and/or violent videos of anyone.
So yeah. One more reason to take all of Elons money and put him in jail forever.
put him in jail forever.
That’s not the solution with fascists, but saying the solution out loud will get you banned
I never said where the jail was. My idea for that will also get you banned.
At a farm upstate, right?
On a completely different note… Have you ever heard of Point Nemo? It’s the point in the ocean furthest from any land. Somewhere in the south Pacific.
Also there’s a type of nonsense that crops up among right wing jackasses every few years called sea steading. It’s a bad idea for a lot of reasons unless done in some very specific places and in some very specific ways.
Point Nemo would be a very bad place for sea steading.
Point Nemo would be a very bad place for sea steading.
No no, it would be an excellent place for seasteading. Best idea ever.
People are saying the facility is by the river. You know the one.
Wouldn’t that fall under the children category? I’m sure it’s not only limited to girls.
Absolutely! It’s fucking disgusting that counties haven’t banned and blocked that platform just for that.
The smallest joy I have in this life is knowing this fuckwads true soul looks this fucking stupid
Yep, his force ghost will be based on genetics not surgery.
Elon, if you’re reading this, there is no amount of money that can fix the mess left behind by your failed penis enlargement surgery. And, somewhere in a more impoverished part of the world, there is a man with the kind of huge hog you can never have. Never.
I mean I think the bigger issue here is that he sent a Tesla to space when he could have become the Jesus of our times, and saved hundreds of millions of people from abject poverty and despair.
You know what’s funny, though? I think about this all the time. There’s thousands of “Jesus of our times” people, but we don’t know any of their names, because they never became billionaires, because… well… they didn’t hoard money, cause… well… they’re “Jesus”
Dolly Parton.
She’s not a billionaire, though. She works 9 to 5.
Never mind Jesus, we could have had Iron Man
That position of Jesus is still open to any Sociopathic Oligarch who wants it. Any takers? No?
Ah, they remember what happened to the last Jesus, got it.
Another good one is imagining him getting smashed in a rugby maul at a high end South African school.
(Girls FTW!!)
Making the remark regarding the diver such projection.
always, with these nazi types.
Tbf that was the moment I knew he was quite likely to be a pedo. What was that, a decade ago?
Every time I see a Tesla with the fuckin, “we bought this before he went crazy,” sticker I get so mad. He’s been a POS the whole time I’ve heard about him, most people don’t pay any attention I guess.
Elon
“Pedo guy”
“Pedon Muskr@pe”
As a complete off subject comment, this screenshot of musk is from when he brought a McLaren F1 hands down the greatest car ever made. Musky not only had one but didn’t insure it and would later crash it wile showing off.
Why would a billionaire insure their car?
Every idiot who bought those F1s crashed them. Rowan Atkinson crashed his twice.
The hair plugs was money well spent.
“I’m asking so I can make sure I don’t go there that day, because I’ve never been there.”
What a fucking zero.
Five head.
“Dude, you look like a Goblin, and you’ll scare the girls. They’re just little kids after all. It’s hard enough to get them to cooperate with sex with fat old men, but you’re downright horrifying.”
