He is not worth 650bln. From 380 to 415 depending on source.
The vast majority of that is in shares. If he started selling those shares (or giving them away) in the numbers indicated. The value would drop faster then he can sell them.
So while he most Def could bribe all MPs. It would be a hell of a lot less then a billion each. Unfortunately MPs are way way cheaper then that.

Calling for the overthrow of democracy, time to shut him down and bring him before a parliamentary committee to answer some serious questions.

He could give every member of the committee a billion dollars and be none the poorer for it.
Not that you're wrong, but with a tyrant of his means, who's essentially above the law, well...

See thing is, at some point we'll want to go there to, and there he'll be, ruining it with his presence.

It's not much, but email your local MP and let's see if we can stop this guy from spreading misinformation in the UK
