Well, its okay to make some money from others labour, as long as its fair. But way it currently works, that some business owner gets majority of the value of someones work is not okay. That is just benefitting from being on stronger position than someone else and ultimately isnt much different from taking from someone by force. Its not like you can refuse to participate as people need to have money to live.

Trump makes a variety of compliment sandwiches. It's hard to tell after a while just what kind of sandwich it is.

Generational wealth is a bitch and doesn't really prove anything.

Well the billions only came after his presidency because he now had a huge pool of loyalists he could grift out of their life savings with meme coin and begging for donations. Yes he had some generational wealth, most of which he blew on his bankrupted businesses but he's also just a good grifter.

When you see him playing in video's he's playing.
He just uses other people to help level him up. I wouldn't really say that using someone to grind for you means you can't play. Him not being able to play would be him getting destroyed in the videos where he shows himself playing.

The deadweight loss of a monopoly means he destroyed even more than he stole. The best he can offer now is an example.

I will not trust Gates anyway. It's like "there are good billionaires!"

His philanthropy, while objectively good, is a measured pr effort that does not impact his overall obscene wealth and basically never has
Like with almost every billionaire.

yeah he's so good... at fucking up the education system. seriously fuck this guy and his wife for what they did in the name of so-called education reform, he's just like the rest of them thinking just because he made a lot of money gaming the system he suddenly knows so much about everything. and fuck the united states for allowing these maniacs completely shape the country however they want.
I thought it was foolish that they allowed gates to do education reform, but then I thought it was insane they allowed reelon the troglodyte to make tunnels for his fucking explody cars. but that wasn't enough apparently so now they give him the keys to the entire kingdom.
un-fucking-believable.

'Global South' sounds like some right-wing term. LMIC (low middle-income country) is better.

It's not insane at all. It sucks but it's completely logical. Musk is just protecting his capital as best he can within a global capitalist system.
It's like corporate "greedflation" during Covid. Of course they jacked up prices and lied about wholesale costs, thereby wildly inflating profits, because profit motives are what drive our world.

Gates is a "lesser evil" billionaire but he advocated to not revoke patents on Covid-19 vaccines during the height of the pandemic. I understand the need for innovation, but screw him for still being greedy in the face of immediate crisis. He is two-faced nonetheless.
