Only monsters accumulate that much wealth. You do it by stealing it away from those less fortunate.

    In this case the American people in the form of government grants and contracts.

    I still can't believe he did a Nazi salute at the inauguration. What a thunder cunt.

    Steve Bannon did it too not long after, if I recall.

    Only thing is I can believe it. They're pushing the boundaries of their capacity to gaslight. Testing waters and arrogant in their confidence.

    Yup, not only could he use his money for good, but he’s literally part of the billionaires seeking

    The money and power isn’t enough until society as we know it collapses and techno-billionaires run their their own neofuedalist slave kingdoms because it’s about “competing” with the other billionaires rather than having money. It’s just about some weird psychopathic idea of having to “win” and and have the biggest legacy, no matter how fucked that legacy is
