    Facts before feelings. Many of the people here downvoting me genuinely think people like Bezos or Musk are just sitting in a pile of cash choosing to hoard money instead of helping the less fortunate.

    Also - you’re part of the 1%

      Musk managed to get his hands on $44 billion to buy twitter pretty easily. They may not be sitting on a literal pile of cash, but the ultra-wealthy can always get easy access to it.

      And Bezos had a take home amount of $4 billion in 2019, not his stock, his take home cash for one year. That’s an absurd amount of money.
