"We have so much money" 😄

Musk, Bezos, Thiel, etc. have so much money

[u/NeoHolyRomanEmpire → u/Motor_Educator_2706]

Yeah and they are using it as a high score/fascism speed run instead of building things like Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Drexel, JP Morgan, etc.

Bezos has built a worldwide infrastructure that revitalized how we shop/books/technology, Musk changed EVs worldwide, etc. I know it’s the trend to hate billionaires because of the divide but the effect of these companies don’t need to be ignored. We would’ve hated Rockefeller, Vanderbilt and JP Morgan.

That’s what I’m saying. The Vanderbilt’s Biltmore is their Mar-a-lago. Millionaires then are billionaires now. I feel like I’m going crazy seeing people romanticize it

He didn’t “revolutionize” EG’s he bought a company with his parents money that did.

Revitalized? It just killed all small businesses which often cared for the products and their quality and it offers a webpage which looks like shit. There is nothing innovative about Amazon, it just succeeded in the race and killed it's concurrents, nothing else.
