Post things your (least) fav billionaire does.

This used to be the Elon Musk sub, but in an attempt to boost engagement, we have engaged a new pathway.

You can post anything related to billionaires here.

Sounds like we should nationalize Amazon. That's what he's saying, right?

We really could just do that. He and others would fight like hell, but why couldn't it be done? It needs to be done.

Supposedly most of their profits come from AWS, so they wouldn't even stop making money if the marketplace was nationalized.

Honestly a nationalised AWS would be a way bigger boon to the economy, and he could go back to cornering the market on diapers or whatever fuck him

I agree. The entire economy should be nationalized. Except instead of rich capitalists running the state, we should make sure it’s regular working class people, and we should make sure that the profits go to the people who actually created it, like you and me and every other working person.

It should be sold to the public as free market competition.

"We are taking over Amazon because government is inefficient and wasteful. This will allow American small business ingenuity to crush the government Amazon and replace it with a free market alternative."
