I don't care about a list of billionaires, but I just know this guy cares about being on it, so that makes me happy
I like the lists of Billionaires, they will be handy come the revolution.
They're usually just called menus.
See... people always talk about eating the rich. I'm not convinced they will taste good or that it's worth the time and the fuel to cook them.
We really need to add a B to the beginning of that phrase. Beat the rich. Over and over again. With huge clubs.
Eating them isn’t about nutrition or taste; It’s about sending a message. Eat a few of them publicly, slowly, and starting at the feet while keeping them alive. Prove it can be done, and that we’re willing to do it. The rest of them will get the message, and straighten out real fucking quick.
The ultimate goal is the redistribution of wealth. Simply beating a billionaire or two isn’t going to accomplish that. No amount of public beating will be brutal enough, because it’s just violence. At a certain point, it’s just your stock standard gore-porn horror movie footage, which we’ve all seen a hundred times. Billionaires can ignore it, because once the initial rage subsides they can run some astroturfed PR campaigns and get back into peoples’ good graces.
Eating them though? That’s a powerful message, because it goes beyond simple anger. It’s violence with intent and purpose behind it. It’s violence fueled not by rage, but by contempt and dehumanization. It’s saying “we don’t even see you as people anymore. You’re nothing to us but prey. A starving dog is loyal to nobody but itself, and you’ve kept us hungry for far too long.”
Like a hit list?
More like a menu.
Nom nom nom
A shit list, Bobandy.
Still waiting for it...
I can't wait to see the unhinged word vomit against Bloomberg after this.
The woke radical leftist publication Bloomberg you mean?
The WOKE FASCIST MARXIST RADICAL LEFTIST FAILING SO-CALLED PUBLICATION BLOOMBERG, you mean?
He was never a billionaire
[ womp womp ]
I like that I initially thought you linked RDDT.
It’s not doing much better, lol
I've been watching it for the lulz.
He's baaaaaack!
Its almost time.
The market cap for Truth Social is $4.5B, which is fucking bananas when you consider that this is a home-rolled Mastadon instance that hasn't even been patched since 2022.
I'm not saying Trump is a billionaire, or even a good businessman, but holy shit how crazy is it that people are trading $35/share for something their grandkids could put together over a long weekend of free time?
The price is based on the size of the cult of delusional racists who worship Donald, it has little to do with the tech. Imagine how much you could charge for ivermectin ads if you can guarantee they'll be in front of an audience of cultists!
I hardly have to imagine. As a Texas resident with a few friends who own horses, I can say firsthand that the ivermectin lie has cleared stocks from shelves for gullible rubs that was much needed for actual horse medicine

I think you are interpreting this wrong... people are paying $35 a share because one of two reasons:
It also took in a grand total of $4M in revenue last year. Not profit, revenue. Like, I think Nvidia is insanely overvalued based on AI hype, but they do have $61B in revenue on a $2,240B market valuation. Even that's out of wack, but the ratio there is orders of magnitude better than Truth Social.
Seems like a good way for people to slip money into Trump's accounts without the regulatory oversight of a direct gift or donation.
These lists just make the problem worse.
And it's going to go down further. The only question is: How many billions and billions and billions will Elon pay for it?
Remember how idiot kids were banding together to send Kylie Jenner money just to her from $900 million to billionaire status? Their moron parents are the ones buying Trump shoes and bibles.

Donald Tump <——
$$
And to think... He usually has to pay for a woman to beat the shit out of him...
Why was he on it in the first place?
He haa been lying about his net worth since the 80's. It's all "self-reported" wealth.
He inherited $400 mil from his father and pissed it all away. The rest has been un-repaid loans and one-sided partnerships. He has never actually been a billionaire at all, unless you count debt as net worth.
He's the Nepo baby of a slumlord.
Tres Commas
Bruh. Russia will bail out his shitty scam stock just when he’s ready to sell.
Im not sure Russia has this capability anymore but plenty of other foreign actors do.
They can just put it on musk’s to do list.
Now just boot him out of the country and we'll call it good
Why stop there? Boot him out of the planet
What about into the planet? Maybe if we start sacrificing billionaires to random volcano gods, things will finally change somewhat. (And yeeting bloated oligarchs into volcanoes is a lot cheaper and more environmentally friendly than launching their corpulent butts into space.)
Only thing more pathetic than Elon Musk is Donald J Trump.
That is going to hurt his overblown ego more than anything else. He is deadly afraid that his supporters might finally realize that the wannabe-emporer is indeed naked.
