    Wow a billionaire paid for an ad, One Ad… From what half a second of her daily earnings…

    Wake me up when it’s an ad campaign.

        If Elon wants to swap sides we should encourage it. Hell, if Elon wants to make a bid for King as well there’s an argument that we should support it to a specific degree.

        Throw a chair into the proverbial ring.

          If democrats cozy up to elon, it’s not elon who has changed sides.

          Throw a chair into the proverbial ring.

          kiss the proverbial ring.

      Well said. I’ll take this or Gates or Buffett over the Murdochs, Musks, Kochs, Thiels of the world.

      We need all the powerful allies we can get.

        It helps when they say they’ll get rid of their billions after death, like Gates recently said. I don’t particularly trust them to actually do that, although his and Buffetts actions do suggest they don’t just want to hoard wealth like an dragon. They like influence too much to prematurely give up that wealth, though.

          Worth noting that in the case of Gates at least, he has already given away $100 billion and I think committed another $200 over the next 20 years. There is some sound reasoning too that he shouldn’t just dump it all at once, as it’s harder to track corruption.

      Is it being a class traitor though? Maybe she just realizes that her dollars are worth more than rubles for a reason, a reason that is very much now in question.

      If anyone should support the rule of law, it’s the billionaires. We should all be on the same side against fascism.

    Trumps tarrif policy is costing her millions a day, I wouldn’t be surprised to see other billionaires come out against Trump, especially if they can hide their real reasons behind things like this.

    There was probably nothing good in TV. She’s gonna have her butler heat up some nice popcorn and enjoy the show.
