There Is No Such Thing As A Good Billionaire. Every billionaire is a cancerous tumor that needs to be removed from society.

The real story is the stupid shit he pulled by trying to bully and intimidate a reporter and a news organization.
that's called staying a billionaire
He's buying farmland. Billionares are preparing to profit from the coming climate apocalypse by buying land and water. Marc Benioff isnt the only one. Hawaii is a great idea, niiiice and defensible. the future is gonna be fucking exciting folks, i cannot begin to tell you how terrified i am that we wont kill these fucking punks in time to save ourselves
I think it's kinda crazy that him and zuck chose Hawaii for their doomsday bunker, especially considering they chose the same small island.
Hawaii may be defensible now, but climate change is going to make it a whole lot harder. Microenvironments like small islands are prone to systemic collapse when exposed to rapid changes.
I just don't really see how the benefits of isolation really overcome the negative effects of climate change will surely bring.
Maybe he is a straw purchaser for Zuck.
It's not safe from drones, bombers, and naval bombardment.
What makes you think they don't/won't have anti-aircraft and anti missile defences? I'm pretty sure they don't plan on going down peacefully..
Then you just do that to their supply ships off island.
One day Hawaii might become the next Taiwan.
Edit to add: By the lack of downvotes, I must not have been clear. I meant that, after the revolution, the surviving capitalist class would retreat to a “USA” consisting of only Hawaii. Much like the Republic of China now consists of only Taiwan.

During that call, he also mentioned he knew the exact area where I was staying. Unnerved, I asked how he knew, and he said, "It's my job. You have a job and I have a job."
So the tech CEO's job is... checks notes ...spying on journalists?
His job is trying to sound all tough and intimidating yet achieving nothing except making himself look even more pathetic.
Are all of the properties connected? When Bill Gates built his house he used a bunch of shell companies to buy up all the lots that became his estate, so that the owners didn't realize there was a big project planned there by the richest man in the world and demand higher prices.
Zuck did the same on Kauai
Unlimited money and still pulling shenanigans so that they don't have to pay it to other people.
What's worse is he bought the land that native Hawaiians got as their birthright, but said native Hawaiians were poor and desperate, so they sold it to him. They didn't know that they were selling to one of the richest people on the planet who could afford to pay them more. I don't think Zuck is well liked by the locals out there.
Fuckerberg isn't liked by anyone.

So this guy is going full Bond villain and no one but this reporter is calling him on it, got it.
And he's trying to intimidate the reporter by threatening her family and her job.
Gee, way to not act suspicious. Guess he is all in on intimidation as a means of control.
You act like this wouldn't work on literally every other major media outlet besides NPR...
The billionaire club is a small club, we're not in it and they don't give a single fuck about all of us out together.

Just what the people of Hawaii need, another rich person snatching up precious land on an island that already has a high cost of living.
CEO is not involved in editorial decision-making
Heh, I love it when a rich idiot gets shut down by some good ol' journalistic ethics. "No, you are not special, Mr. Benioff."
Shout out to that NPR reporter for not being intimidated
Volcano lair, obviously.

Isn't this super obvious, he's going to try to buy the island wholesale make it private and declare tacit sovereignity like he's a dole or some shit.
New special sex island?
He is probably just jealous of Larry Ellison

Might be worried about domestic conflict, I am, and I think everyone should be pretty concerned about the end of this year.

Man is he the reason Salesforce has a weird "Hawaiian" theme in their offices.
