If you’re a billionaire and still you’re so insecure that you have to bow down to a depraved and deranged sociopath, then what’s the point of dedicating your life to getting rich?

Some in positions of great power are preemptively acting powerless. Too many with the loudest microphones are turning them down. Most disturbing, those with the greatest wealth are acting like they are the poorest and most vulnerable. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

All the US billionaires need a reminder of what happened in Russia early in Putin's reign. Putin arrested an oligarch on BS charges and thru him in jail for a lengthy period. The other oligarchs went to Putin & asked what they had to do to avoid the same fate. Putin told them 50% of their companies.

I’m with Marc Elias! I’m 77 partially disabled, in poor health, and I’m the kind of person these Nazi fucks want to warehouse if given the chance! I’m also out of fucks to give having served my country in Combat! I’m one foot in the grave and not scared of dying. So bring it on you miserable MF’ers!

How is it that you can become a billionaire without becoming a depraved and deranged sociopath?

"The guardrails of our democracy are not failing under violent contact. Rather they are being taken down in advance, by the very people who insisted they be entrusted to build them.

That is why I say we are on our own." - Marc Elias

There was an article this fall stating something along the lines there was a rumor trump was 2 billion in debt. Maybe musk bailed him out. At a cost

Blurry line between ruthlessness and cravenness.

He's looking for external validation for something that can only be resolved internally. Trump was emotionally abused by his father & he's still looking outside for acceptance. I don't know about Elon, but I bet it's about rejection. Trump can be famous and Elon rich; they'll never be satisfied.

Money can’t buy character.

They have holes that can never be filled. They are unhappy and nothing they do makes them happy. They need more and more dopamine to keep from falling. It's a literal sickness.

Disney/ABC bows down. Bezos genuflects. Silicon Valley prostrates itself.
As the Beatles noted, money can't buy you love -- or a spine.

Ain’t that a fact! They think that money and power will fill the hole in their sorry souls! Not going to happen fellas! Unfortunately the rest of society has to suffer these fools!🤬🤮

It is a true story, that even a terrible person fears someone more terrible, until you get up high enough into the upper echelons of evil and then they only truly fear the informed and angry masses coming for their wealth and power. There are certainly more rewarding lives that can be lived.
