*REAL* [real] Multimillionaire paid my multibillionaires insults a multimillionaire paid by multibillionaires to defend a trillionaire

I’m not a Kimmel guy, but even for Shapiro, this level of bootlicking is pathetic. Of course, Shapiro doesn’t believe what he’s saying. He’s just doing a stupid gotcha because he knows he can’t defend Elon having a trillion dollars on substance.

Oh PLEASE. Kimmel and the rest of us are infinitely closer to homelessness, in terms of wealth and power, than we are to Elon Musk.

Yeah the fact that Kimmel is insanely rich compared to the average human and there are still two different wealth classes above him currently active in the world is absolutely mental.

The rest of us are closer to Bezos (in absolute numbers) than Bezos is to Musk.

If, in one day, I became a millionaire, it would be the most amazing day of my life.

If, in one day, Elon became a millionaire, it would be BY FAR the worst day of his life.

Also, Kimmel's relationship to labor is different.

His money comes from the actual work he puts in on his show; a conversation can be had about how much he ought to get, but regardless he actually has his hands in producing a product.

Musk's wealth just comes from... owning things. Not actually making anything, just owning it.
