This is a good attitude. The cynicism is well-earned, but ultimately self-defeating. Not all wealthy people are intentionally and actively hostile, and even if they are, sometimes it is effective to turn enemies into allies, maybe just temporary ones, or even just avoid fighting the least rewarding ones at all if it’s not going to cost you anything and lets you combine your forces to focus on the battles that really matter. This is class war, and war calls for strategy. Fight smart and spend our limited resources wisely. Trump and Muskrat are about a million times more direct of a threat to our survival than JB Pritzker or the Waltons. You don’t have to trust any of them, but it’s a strategic blunder to waste time and energy attacking the ones who aren’t attacking us. Don’t depend on them if you don’t have to, but let them try to help, if they can.
Well said. I’ll take this or Gates or Buffett over the Murdochs, Musks, Kochs, Thiels of the world.
We need all the powerful allies we can get.
It helps when they say they’ll get rid of their billions after death, like Gates recently said. I don’t particularly trust them to actually do that, although his and Buffetts actions do suggest they don’t just want to hoard wealth like an dragon. They like influence too much to prematurely give up that wealth, though.
Worth noting that in the case of Gates at least, he has already given away $100 billion and I think committed another $200 over the next 20 years. There is some sound reasoning too that he shouldn’t just dump it all at once, as it’s harder to track corruption.
Not all. elon is still a nazi.

If Elon wants to swap sides we should encourage it.
If democrats cozy up to elon, it’s not elon who has changed sides.
Throw a chair into the proverbial ring.

Elon is a nazi.
You can’t wait to do whatever he wants.
This is the correct attitude.
Is it being a class traitor though? Maybe she just realizes that her dollars are worth more than rubles for a reason, a reason that is very much now in question.
If anyone should support the rule of law, it’s the billionaires. We should all be on the same side against fascism.

Trumps tarrif policy is costing her millions a day, I wouldn’t be surprised to see other billionaires come out against Trump, especially if they can hide their real reasons behind things like this.
A broken clock is right two times a day. The rich do not share our concerns.
Well, they share our concern of not wanting the economy to be completely obliterated by tariffs.
So is maga gonna boycott walmart now?
Is she the one that has something like 100+ DUIs that she has had swept under the rug?
She’s just mad that tariffs are hurting her wallet
Gotta be it. The Walton family have been pro-Republican anti-labor forever. Makes you wonder how many undocumented people WalMart has working for them in stores and warehouses, plus are employed in working with all the cheap produce and dairy they sell.
There was probably nothing good in TV. She’s gonna have her butler heat up some nice popcorn and enjoy the show.
You know thing are bad when billionaires start being good.
This isn’t “being good”.
This is simply her acting against tRump out of self-interest which coincidentally also happens to be acting against the same source of problems that the rest of us face.
