Who is the World's Worst Billionaire?

I don't hate rich people, but I think they should pay more taxes.

Elon Musk sold me a Tesla I am very happy with. I especially liked how I could buy it online without talking to an annoying pushy sales person. Elon Musk is doing more to help reduce global warming than any other Billionaire. He was dumb to get involved in politics, but it seems like his good moves outweigh his bad moves.

Twice Amazon signed me up for a service without my permission, and I had to contact them to get the service and charges removed.

Jeff Bezos bought a $500 Million sailboat while his employees suffer in bad working conditions for low pay.

Elon Musk does not own expensive mansions or Yachts. Most of his wealth is invested in his companies.

he tinkers with Elections and dis-avows his Daughter

He is also known for spreading baseless conspiracy theories

Antisemitic Post
Agreed with an online post promoting the antisemitic "great replacement" conspiracy theory, which he later apologized for and called one of his dumbest posts.

Pelosi Attack Theory: Shared a link to an unsubstantiated, fringe news article mocking the violent attack on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, which he later deleted.

Foreign Civil War Predictions: Claimed on social media that a civil war in the United Kingdom was "inevitable," drawing sharp rebukes from UK government officials.Professional and Market
Controversies

Funding Secured Tweet: Tweeted in 2018 that he had "funding secured" to take Tesla private at $420 a share when no solid deal existed, resulting in SEC fines and shareholder lawsuits.

Dismissive Comments on Truth: Testified in court regarding his erratic social media activity by stating that "just because I tweet something does not mean people believe it or will act accordingly," minimizing his market influence

That's disappointing, thanks for all the info.

I disagree with some of this, but it's still a good topic:

I forgot to mention Vladimir Putin...

His war on Ukraine is not even helping his own country. I consider him a war criminal, and I would be happy to see him die.

Some reports suggest he is one of the richest people in the world

The $200 billion estimate would make Putin one of the richest people in the world, behind Elon Musk and Amazon boss Jeff Bezos, and above Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

Putin did not start the Ukrainian war.

NATO did. At the behest of Israel. Hand in glove Gaza and Iran while Russia is preoccupied. I hope unbalanced Trump does not create WW3 out of ego, narcissism, and 180 degree swings. Putin is no worse than the bother creeps ruling, and ruining the peace.

Elon Musk did not start it either.

Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos both run big companies that provide good products and they employ many people. Neither of them started any war.

I have a few complaints about Bezos, but he is doing more good than Putin is.

Putin DID start the Ukrainian war. Nobody else. Without provocation, Putin invaded a soverign nation

whose territory his nation had officially recognized by treaty.

One supposes Israel is not operating in the same manner for the same reason?

Her enemies are at HER borders. And she does not like it. Indeed, aggression and invasions of other sovereign nations are a monthly occurrence. I understand why. I understand the ‘why’ concerning Russian actions in Ukraine. And as per usual the civilian population pays the price rather than the actual schemers that created the mess.

Crimea was the catalyst.

By a majority of Russians, the plebiscite was voted unanimously to rejoin Russia. We say the democratic method is the best solution. Well??? The big issue for us citizens everywhere is government run by evil schemers. They involve us in their lusts for other’s commodities and trade routes. All the nations are the same. We get their wars, their cheerleaders, their medals, Our dead, utter ruination of cities and whole populations. The Bible spells it out….all the nations shall be judged.

The plebiscite was totally illegal, fraudulent, and operated by Russia without external supervision.

It matters not. The majority are Russians. They voted. They won.

The Crimea Russian population was being harassed by the Ukrainian Nazis. At that time this was the issue. There was no overt Western provocation. Yet.

There was NO REAL VOTE at all. It was all FAKE.

“Real” vote? LOLS:-)

Crimea has an important historical connection to Russia. It’s basically Russian even though not geographically.

Judged when and by whom?

🙄

Not whom but judged by What.

So does the US. And NATO countries have historical aggression on Africa

and the New World. Gorbachev was promised by daddy Bush NATO would not move one inch from its geographical setting. The agreement has been broken. Once they decided to turn Ukraine into a NATO door mat at Russia’s front entry, Russia had every right to counter the scheme. An existential threat requires the military action we observe. I’m being fair minded. The West started it in the shadow of Israel.

The tu quoque fallacy (Latin for "you too") is an informal logical fallacy

Posted by DFM on August 5, 2026, 8:53 pm, in reply to "So does the US. And NATO countries have historical aggression on Africa "

that occurs when someone attempts to reject an argument by accusing the speaker of hypocrisy or personal inconsistency, rather than addressing the substance of the claim itself

Fair play. A balanced recognition of the utter hypocrisy. No fallacy at all.

It’s about righteous equivalency.
