as much as I hate billionaires, it is kinda sus how disproportionately online goobers seem to hate swift. Its even worse when you consider she's probably the only billionaire that works for a living

Yup. Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey, and Steven Spielberg have private jets too. Many more lease them.

Sure let's talk about how it's not cool to use a private jet, but maybe let's not be hyper fixated on a woman that owns a private jet. Kinda makes it very suspicious that people actually just have an issue with a woman being successful.

None of them sent a cease and desist to a 19 year old kid, because he was broadcasting publicly available data about their private jets. Taylor and Elon did.

Just in the last week or so Swift sent a cease and desist to the kid tracking her and other celebrities jets, aka already publicly available information. Just like when Elon tried to stop him, by trying to stop him she has Streisand effected the situation.

If and when Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey, or Steven Spielberg send their own cease and desist, then we can start making jet memes about them, too. Until then, they've got other shitty things we can bring up. Cruise is a cultist, Jim Carrey is/was an anti-vaxxer, and Spielberg... actually, I can't think of anything else for him, let the Spielberg jet memes commence I guess.

Even billionaires can't escape sexism

She recently tried to sue someone for tracking her jet, that's why she's catching a lot of heat right now. It isn't sus, its the same reaction musk got when he tried to do the same thing to the same person in 2022/23

Please don't bring misogyny into this

We shame her because unlike all the other billionaires, she actually cares about her image, and shaming her actually works

And isn’t most of her plane pollution due to renting it? I mean still her fault but not uh physically?
