The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?"

@jerry what place are you in the richest man ranking again?

@Newk @junesim63 I have a healthy family, a dog, and a roof over my head, so I consider myself pretty rich. Money wise, we shop at thrift stores, so…

@jerry @junesim63

You are rich indeed! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I Was in the Paulskirche (the very building where the first german democratic constitution was written and the words 'left' and 'right' as political views were coined) when most important german-speaking living feminist artist Valie Export was awarded the most important german Art prize, the Max-Beckmann-prize. I Was at the 40 years of right of Informational self-determination ceremony, listened to Former constitution judges and Former data protection officers and spoke to lawyer Gisela Wild who sued against the Volkszählung. I Was a guest at the first german same-Sex marriage ceremony in the Goldener Saal in Berlin. No money of Musk or Zuckerberg could buy These experiences.
