    Vote with your wallet and your time. Most of these won’t be billionaires if we don’t give them either.

      Unfortunately that is not true. You pretty much cannot escape their claws. What really needs to happen is political measures. Just remember: You don’t become a billionaire by just working hard and no human should be allowed to have that much money.

        Start with the worst of the worst. Targeted action can have a chilling effect (in this case I mean it in a good way but chilling from their perspective) on other billionaires and big donors.

        By far I believe everyone should coalesce around protesting Musk’s companies especially Tesla and Twitter because we all have the power to make a difference. Leaving Twitter is free and will actually save time because no more time wasted using Twitter. Avoiding buying a Tesla is just common sense because it’s an inferior car compared to other EVs.

        No more learned helplessness, we can make a difference!

      But there will always be idiots who give them money. Leftists would benefit from a populist propaganda campaign the right-wingers are running from the Nazi times forward.
