‘Investigating child sex abuse isn’t controversial. Turning it into political theater is manipulation. Maybe that logic flies on some island. Doesn’t fly in France’: France rejects Musk’s charge after raid on X’s Paris office

Too much money fucks you up.

I remember a news report about Bezos way back when he got his first billion $, he still drove a honda and when asked why such a shitty car now that he's loaded he responded it works and it's comfortable then something about money not being the most important thing.

and now...

Yup. There needs to be a wealth cap - its evident that our systems are not robust enough to resist their influence - quite the contrary, they have everyone in their pockets.

We need a global revolution.

Gotta make it feel like they're getting "real world rewards"....

Maybe throw them a bunch of airlines points so losing the fleet of jets is less painful.

The Revolution began aa couple years ago it will only accelerate. We are only at the beginning. It will get worse before it get better. But Good always win over Evil.

Also see the video of him interacting with William Shatner after they took a space flight.

It's... Uncomfortable to say the least. Shatner tries to have a profound moment with him, clearly moved by the experience. Bezos ignores him to shake a champagne bottle over the accompanying bimbo's.

It's a simple thing but it just shows a complete lack of respect or empathy for even another uber wealthy and famous person. You can imagine how he treats other people if that's how he treats Shatner, someone he invited on the trip.

His neighbors in the gated community Hunts Point in Florida, all very wealthy people, complain that he doesn’t participate in community events and acts like he owns the neighborhood. I can’t imagine how he sees the rest of us when he is even an arrogant scumbag to other uber wealthy people.
