Further proof that Capitalism is a religion.

I for one wouldn't rule out that, when Musk talks about working 12-hour days, what he really does is to let others work, while he sits on his ass tweeting and playing video games like the pathetic fraud that he is.

not religion. a disease of society

Reminds me of comments made when Colin Powell resigned (ie “…bunch of fucking Crazies!”) [referring to the republican administration atvthe time].

Gates does chair one of the major health organizations on earth providing medical care. Meeting with the guy who publicly wants to stop vaccines is going to be a stop he'd have to make.

wrong comment

[empricorn@feddit.nl]

Every single billionaire is a policy failure. By hoarding that much wealth, they are literally bad people. But that doesn't mean they can't do good things, or even give away what they don't need, like the ex-billionaire Charles Feeney who redeemed himself and donated most of his billions, anonymously.

It's a compliment sandwich. You have to include the two pieces of compliment bread even if it's bullshit or else you'll be accused of not offering constructive criticism.

Trump is worth billions now though...

Based TG. Calling it what it is.

Oligarch Wars

I never expected the end to be so boring: White Collar Apocalypse. Wait, what collar colour are billionaires?

Bill Gates has also been riding an unearned “genius” appellation for decades. He didn’t make DOS. (His charitable work on vaccination is also questionable - iirc there were concerns over intellectual property rights)

The tide is turning against billionaires, and he’s just recognizing that Musk is making them all look bad.

[but_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world]

Bill Gates really doesn’t want to get eaten. Remember he is not one of us, he is one of them.

[but_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world]

This is exactly what he wants, for you to see him as a good guy billionaire. There’s no such thing. He is one of them not one of us, this is just PR and lip service

Right thing for the wrong reasons is still the right thing. We've got bigger fish to fry than him.

For now.

[raouldook@lemmy.world]

That's the vibe of the whole Trumptard government, SDE

[rarbg@lemmy.zip]

Your spoilers are wrong.

[gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

your point being?

It's not nearly enough, he does it to look good more than to actually do good, and he shouldn't ever have had that much money in the first place

Don't let someone doing a few good things make you think they don't deserve to be killed, eaten, and their wealth redistributed

Bill Gates isn't a good person
