Hes worth $200 billion. Even all lemmy users put all their money together it won't even reach half of that. Conclusion being he doesnt give 2 shits what we think or say.
I didn't realize having money meant you didn't care what people thought of you. How does that work exactly?
Well if you open your eyes and read the news then you'll see how amazon workers on min.wage are struggling to make ends meet while daddy bezos is worth $150billion or something.

Another good example is warner bros. Where they are willing to spend $500 millions to keep workers on min. wage than spending $47 million to give them a livable wage.
All you have to do is open your eyes and read news from all sources, not just fox or CNN, all sources yeah? Like France 24, Aljazeera, DW etc.
You'll soon realize that people genuinely don't care as long as it doesnt affect them personally.
Today is elon, tomorrow it'll be bezos then gates and it'll keep going on. Working class will keep complaining and elites will be running the show.
No one is arguing that at all...?
His business is breaking a rule. One that can levy beyond fines. This isn't about what he thinks.
Sure, let's slap a 5 mil fine on a business worth 44 billion. Now please don't start with his business is not worth 44 billion anymore
He spent $44B and a ridiculous amount of his time every day trying to influence what people think and say. Hell, he’s threatening to sue the fucking Anti-Defamation League because what they said hurt his feelings.
Like Trump, he is completely obsessed with what people think of him because, like Trump, that’s what his entire empire is built on.
he should care though what the stockholders of his companies and potential future investors think of his abilities as a businessman. burning a 40 billion dollar company into the ground within a year does not speak favorable of his capeabilities.
Also a lot of his businesses are relying heavily on subsidies, public funding or are just straight up government contracts. And for that public opinion does matter.
