Approximately 99.8% of the globes population has a net worth of less than 15 million. In a room of 1000 people, he is one of two people that would qualify. Pure hilarity that a guy with such a net worth would be talking about class warfare and it being okay to assassinate the ultra rich. So really there's only two explanations for this. He's a huge liar and doesn't actually have type of money, or he's a hypocrite.

Good thing I'm not a bragging type, plague would probably hire hitmen

I find it hilarious that people have so much trouble comprehending the difference between a few million dollars and billions, its not a small difference it is an ocean.
If you earned $80,000 a day without interest you would not reach musks net wealth in 10,000 years.
We have individual people who can buy and sell countries while the homeless population in my country is rising exponentially, people thinking i am a part of the billionaire class are hilarious, the billionaires make 5 times my net worth a year in just stock shares or bank interest, and that is the poorest of them.

Did this CEO have millions or billions?

He was the front face of a sentient corporation that holds billions, citizens united means that his corporation has a voice with all of that money behind it, and he was that voice.

I can afford to go visit the islands when i want a holiday, gina rhinehart has bought two islands in the last 5 years and owns 1% of the australian land mass.
It is not even remotely comparable.

Yes, and the mean Oregonian wage is like $34,000 a year. Your $80,000 a day could fund 3/4 of the ghost towns, the towns without people, forever. You have no idea what poor is, Marxist.

Hypocrite for sure. I had the misfortune of listening to his descent into hypocrisy many years ago first on ventrillo, then on discord. It was pathetic when he started with the "that's racist!" response to everything under the sun, while simultaneously talking nonstop shit on "Pakis", which I understand to be an Australian racist term against... Illegal immigrants. There was plenty about aboriginals as well, but he claims to be one, so I'll give him a pass there. Today? He's gone full blown moron.

But nah, you could do a search of his posts. He was bragging several years ago about having already made so much money that he has invested in property and stashed the rest in a way it can't be taxed. He's set for life, AND his kids are set for life. Not even properly middle aged yet, but won't have to work another day in his life, NOR will his children.

Definitely one of the "poor". :rolleyes:

Not a Marxist, social democrat, society should work for the whole population, not a shrinking group of people who managed to make it.
I grew up in housing commission in the poorest suburb of the worst city for crime in my country and had to live in the bush and live in a lean to catching fish and crabs to survive.
Please do tell me what poor is.
