'It tells us something about how elites seek to retain their power': How Lampedusa's The Leopard skewered the super-rich

Lampedusa's mid-20th-Century novel The Leopard became a bestseller, then a revered film – and is now a lavish Netflix series - why does it remain relevant today?

Cerco di mettermi in tasca 55 miliardi di dollari in maniera ingiustificata e influenzando il consiglio di amministrazione di una mia azienda. Vengo bloccato da un tribunale. Dichiaro che lasciare le mie aziende in quello stato non è un buon affare (non posso spillare quattrini da loro) e quindi vado in un altro stato più accondiscendente. #richpeopleproblems

Think I’ve just worked something out. #musk just sued the #lawyers who forced him to buy #twitter

So he thinks he has enough money to get out of mistakes regardless.

Maybe super rich people don’t ever learn from their mistakes unless they want to, because they feel they have that option and can get away with it?
