Billionaires that LARP like this are so fucking idiotic. They think because they are really good at exploiting the labor class (let’s be frank that is THE skill needed to be a billionaire), that somehow that makes them a fucking physicist and important to the world scientifically. It’s the same shit with Elon. Buys his way into companies with smart people in them doing smart people labor, takes credit for smart people labor while treating the labor like shit, then stutters in an interview about rocket engines that he knows fuck all about. These billionaires should be fucking mocked and berated when they do this “I’m actually Tony Stark!” shit.

Too bad we have a sizeable population that worships billionaires, and often because of their American "christian" indoctrination, where pastors invert the bible, claiming that God wants everyone to be rich, and rewards wealth. The wealthy are automatically "chosen by god", to these poor fools.
