Billionaires have too much power

@juddlegum

The worst are the ones with a desire to be unaccountable like their Russian oligarch cousins.

@juddlegum billionaires should not exist.
@juddlegum Including the LIBERAL ones.
@juddlegum you think it was a favor to Trump? I assume they all ridiculed his “big announcement”
@juddlegum and with great power comes great fragility, apparently...
@juddlegum seems implicit in the name!
@juddlegum Billionaires should not exist, and the societal structures that allow and promote them need to be changed.
@juddlegum They absolutely do, and Musk is proving why. His fanboys love him, but they fail to see the danger he poses to democracy.
@juddlegum Every billionaire is further evidence of policy failure.
@juddlegum they say eat one and the rest will fall in line.
@juddlegum The existance of billionaires is an act of socio-financial violence. We are under siege.
@juddlegum They do, but twitter could easily lose its power if you and every other non-white supremacist gets the f'k off it. What are you guys waiting for? Keeping your followers isn't worth it.
@juddlegum only when you give it to them.
@juddlegum Always did. That will never change, anywhere.

@juddlegum Every billionaire is a policy failure.
@juddlegum They shouldn't exist, each one is a walking failure of civilization.
@juddlegum "Every billionaire is a policy failure, but every billionaire is also a factory for producing policy failures at scale." –Cory Doctorow
@juddlegum and little restraint
@juddlegum Imagine what else he could've done with $44B...
@juddlegum Because politicians let them have the power. Access to courts is expensive.
