Indicator 9,876,872,820,111 that that fucker has more money than anyone should ever have.
There's not one single person in the world who should own a thousand million dollars, never mind hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars.
The pure existence of billionaires is unethical and immoral - doesn't matter whether they're being stupid and fascist in public, or quietly pulling strings and bending society to their will in the background.
Tangential, but I've always wondered why in English 10^9 is one billion. 10^6 is one million. Twice as many zeroes should be one billion. Three times as many, one trillion, etc.
From memory, when I was a kid, it used to be that a billion was 10^12, but I think most of the world changed at some point to adopt the American billion of 10^9.
Edit: wiki article that discuss a little of this
As a kid I was taught numbers like so.
Once you had X amount of X, then it became the next one. 10 ten = 100, 100 hundred = 1000 1000 thousand = 1 million, 1 million million = billion. And so on.
100 hundred is 10,000
Yep - same here. Australia, early 80s. You?
I'm only 29
But I want to quietly pull the strings of society so everyone can have food and housing security, get rid of food deserts, and end Elon Musk personally. Like, with my hands. Give me a billion dollars
I don't think you'd be a billionaire for long. I'd have that problem too. How can you just sit on a huge pile of money when you could do so much good with it? They are all like stinky dragons hoarding their gold.
Nah the billion dollars is a get out of jail free card.
Oh wait you were talking about the stuff I wasn't being facetious about.
why do we allow this to happen?
Because too many people think that one day they'll be rich and get to take advantage of poor people like themselves.
ah so greed?
Who is "we"?
What have you done to prevent it?
I know this is trolling but fwie, 'we' is the community that we're all part of.
More that it's a confirmation that having money doesn't make you a good person.
