Trump, Bankman-Fried, and Musk are the monsters of American capitalism — as much products of this public-be-damned era as they are contributors to it.

For them, and for everyone who still regards them as heroes, there is no morality in business or economics.

@rbreich
You keep forgetting Bozos, Zuck, Gates, Ellison, and many others.
@rbreich the list is much much longer.
@rbreich Likely sociopaths all. I’ve known a few and they fit the mold.
@rbreich land of opportunity, or so I'm told
@rbreich Three guys who had the world at their feet, and blew it. Musk first to ever lose $200B.
@rbreich Limiting your list to 3, sure that's fine, but there are many more Capitalist monsters. The way the public fawns over Warren Buffet as he gladly takes government handouts for his railroads, which he's lobbied for, is simply another example of regulation capture by the wealthy.
@rbreich capitalism is the monster of American capitalism
