Musk still has a $122B lead on Bezos, and made $104B of it in the last 32 days.

He has a $122 BILLION lead, and he's earned $133 BILLION over the past year.

His wealth has increased by 50% over the past year alone

And $104B out of the $133B was made just since the election.

Not just him. Trump has the most billionaire-packed administration in history, and they are all about to see huge gains.

But Bezos literally controls THE ENTIRETY OF ONLINE COMMERCE and destroys companies and small businesses with a simple mouse click.

Literally DESTROYS COMMERCE with a simple mouse click.

He is the Ultimate Evil Capitalist; the JD Rockefeller of our generation.

Part of the problem is that other sites are just soooo shit when it comes to online shopping. I hate Amazon and Bezos, but they are dominating 1. Because they are a monopoly, but 2. Because they simply are better at everything.

From customer service, to app, to search, to tracking and returns, no-one else comes close.

It sucks, but it's the truth.

They are dominating because they are good at those things...which means that there is no reason to be destroying small businesses with mouse clicks. It's a coward's game and an extreme psychopathy.

It is cute how rich waste all this money to check social media for threat actors while we are just posting and commenting from our moms basements

Real men like the Adjuster just get the job done without providing signals for pinkertons to scarpe.

The parasite classes should note that when they get deposed, we didn't see nothing.
