There's no way to ethically become a billionaire

Winning the lotto maybe. Staying a billionaire is different.

Maybe inherit it? Like Elon has less kids than he has billions. Some really don't like him. And should he die and somehow there was no will. A few could inherit a billion... but probably not.

This is a race with progressive darling Katie Porter and Green Party candidate Butch Ware, and they're choosing to endorse a billionaire?!?!

That makes these leagues worse imo. They need to be pushing Katie Porter. Hell, any progressive that's not one of the rich fucks ruining the place.

Makes sense only billionaires can afford to live in California.

I live in California and I can assure you I'm not a billionaire I'm a hundredaire.

Oh, look at mr. Moneybags over here

With his fancy bus pass and a once a week opulence of having pinto beans instead of brown beans with his rice. Smh.

It's not like leftists haven't been trying to tell anyone.

Dammit, he’s a billionaire… I thought he did the best in this piece on homelessness

While he is a billionaire, I am pretty sure he is the most progressive person running which just shows the state of things.
