    Jeet Heer Retweeted pixelatedboat aka “mr tweets”

    I miss the old billionaires like Rockefeller and Scrooge McDuck were just miserly tightwads who wanted to swim in their money. Those guys didn't try to be cool.https://twitter.com/pixelatedboat/status/1460074997230178306 …

        Scrooge McDuck would at least rip the occasional riverboat in half, when's this dude even done that

        I was thinking about this yesterday. If these people had an ounce of sense, we’d only have a passing awareness of who they were. This cloying desperation to be praised fascinates me - constantly dancing for pennies, one of the richest people in history.

        They got rich with guile, cunning and cutthroat business practices. Elon got rich off of vibes.
