Post things your (least) fav billionaire does.

This used to be the Elon Musk sub, but in an attempt to boost engagement, we have engaged a new pathway.

You can post anything related to billionaires here.

He is one of the people who are most responsible for the word "billionaire" becoming a pejorative word.

Right? We tolerated Gates, and Buffet. We didn't like the Waltons, but we still patronized their stores.

But now? They are overstepping hard. They let their account balances and their id outgrow their ego.

Maybe not Buffet.

Their ego is the overgrown part. Sure Musk seems particularly id focused, what with the rampant reproduction. But they're all in constant pursuit of elevating the status of their selves
