  1. Musk is losing billions a day right now …..that I’m cool with

  2. If this is what some of them are saying publicly imagine what’s happening behind closed doors.

  3. Yes….that’s what we should all be concerned with right now.

    Millions of us searching “recipes with beans” on Google……when we should be focusing on angry billionaires.

  5. Trump is taking out the last group of ppl that can do him harm..

  6. The billionaires didn’t know that Trump is working for Putin to undermine the USA? They should have been paying attention.

  9. Billionaires are turning on Trump the way my cat turns on me when I forget to feed her an hour past her scheduled time, but once that plate hits the ground she’s back to being my pal.

  10. Oh no!!!! Billionaires are losing money!!!! Fuck off ass hats you voted for this

  11. Billionaires losing billions isn’t going to make up for the rest of us losing everything

  12. Just in case anyone still thinks billionaires are even slightly smart, remember who they backed in 2024. They are literally MAGA stupid, but with deeper pockets.

  13. You can rule the country even after you piss poor people by taking away their rights, as long the rich people got your back.

    You can rule the country even after you piss rich people by taking away their money, as long the poor people got your back.

    But never ever, piss them both at the same time.

  14. All this is too late. He’s totally unhinged and unchecked. Congress and billionaires think NOW they can reel him in? Yeah right.

  15. That’s nice, but the American people are still gonna turn on you billionaires

  16. This is our only hope…that the billionaires lose enough money they will end up pulling the strings of enough senators to throw him out.

  19. Even if you have a written trade deal. Signed by Donald Trump. Who announced it as a great deal. He will turn on you in a heartbeat. And make up lies to justify them.

    Canada allows lots of fentanyl into the US. Lie

    Canada allows immigrants to flood into the US. Lie

    There is one reason and one reason only why Canada has a positive trade surplus with the US. Our oil. 4MM barrels a day. All the other trade is the US’s favour.

    The world needs to take the pain and wait the US out. They’ll crumble first.

  20. The strategic option for the democratic party would be to try to attract them to their side. Like it or not (definitely not), money is power in US politics and billionaires could be valuable allies in defeating Trumpism

  21. All these billionaires have to do is start calling up Republican senators and house members and threatening to drop millions on each race if they don’t end the tariffs.

  22. We need to turn on billionaires. They helped him get in the White House again. They want to abuse us (workers) and not share fairly in the growth that we contribute the economy. Billionaires are EVIL. It’s gluttony. No one should hold so much wealth when there is so much poverty

  23. So when are they gonna start funding impeach and remove campaigns?

  26. Those assholes have so much money it doesn’t hurt them. I remember when the rich donated computer to schools, built libraries, proud to help communities. Now they want to tear it all down. Now they pay to destroy the working class. It’s crazy.

    Edit: because it’s WOKE now to help people.

    Edit 2: who else remember adopting a child in another country? Not literally but you would send them money, my mom used to make jewelry such as bracelets, necklaces on top of the donation to starving kids with the return letter. She’s maga now and wants them to have no help. I don’t get it.

  29. Yeah I call bullshit. Actions speak louder than words and until they actually choke their GOP politicians that they own with the leash they hold, I won’t believe a damn thing. 

  30. Someone please explain to me why ACKMAN IS SO IMPORTANT.

    ACKMAN is proof the WEALTH does not = INTELLIGENCE

    ACKMAN IS AN ANTI AMERICAN TRAITOR

    IN A BETTER TIMELINE ACKMAN WOULD BE IMPRISONED IN EL SALVADOR.

  31. no they aren’t. They paid to get the people they wanted elected, they said they would enact massive tariffs throughout the entire campaign. This is the plan.

    The billionaires who want a market crash so they can consolidate wealth are PRETENDING TO BE UPSET, pretending they are losing money (they are temporarily losing value in companies, they have cash, they will use it to buy cheaper stocks, housing, businesses, assets).

    They want you to blame Trump and blame politicians so you can vote new ones in and they escape the blame.

    They are the ones paying for people like Trump to be in power, they are the ones directing these actions.

    If a single one of you believes any billionaires are upset rather than the fucking architects behind this, you need help. Billionaires are as culpable for this shit as Trump and the entire republican party. Vote, vote against republicans and vote against any business owned by a scumbag corporation that enabled Trump so heavily by spending your money elsewhere.

  32. In fascism, business owners are often co-opted and forced to do things against their interest to benefit the party or state, but their overall position is seldom threatened. They’ll fall in line.
