musk and bezos are not "bourgeois"! Oligarchs maybe?
When bourgeoisie ruled the world, they would only in their wildest dreams could make believe that one day so much capital would concentrate in the hands of one or two greedy assholes. Musk is a historical abomination that needs a class of his own. (he would probably take this as a compliment!
They are bourgeois and they are oligarchs. They own of the means of production and extract profits from the labor of others, without needing to labor themselves, which is what it means to be haute bourgeois.

see the "Criticism" in the page you linked
there's no "haute bourgeois". The class you're refering to, the bourgeois, if it still exists, is milked by these monstrosities as much as the proletariat or the precariat.
Marxism is not enough. The world that gave way to his interpretation is no longer here.
See them yourself. Garbage criticisms from libertarian cranks von Mises and Rothbard 🙄
great point!
