Why are so many billionaires such self centred dicks?
I have a non-hot take on this:
Humans are just not evolved for billionaire levels of wealth/resource disparity.
For most of our evolution it was impossible to hoard that much power.
Of course these people begin to act completely nuts. They literally can’t help it.

because they're billionaires
How is Dorsey's opinion supposed to matter to me?
Business leaders have nothing in common with the rest of us, so why should we trust them to have our best interests in mind? Athletes, famous musicians, business leaders, celebrities all have one thing in common - money. They have much more of it than the vast majority of people and they generally want more of it.
Jack Dorsey doesn't want Democrats in power because they might "take his money", so he's promoting a fringe candidate to be a spoiler to Biden.
How is Dorsey’s opinion supposed to matter to me?
Because he has the ability to influence the public either with his reputation or his social media platform once it gets going. There's also a group of people who likely look up to him as someone who's fulfilled the American dream, starting at the bottom and becoming a billionaire and sadly far too many Americans believe if they were only given the chance that would be them too so they listen to this drivel.
Why do you think billionaires have nothing in common with the rest of us? Just because they think a banana costs, like, twenty dollars?
Somehow billionaires really feel they need even more representation in this country.
Honestly when I see shit like this I think of that old anti-drug commercial on tv. "This is your brain.... and this is your brain on money."
Nah, Dorsey's always been a "libertarian" (read: Republican who wants to smoke weed) POS since he was a broke nobody. All that's changed is, if his stupid Blusky thing takes off, he'll have the power to make his idiocy our problem.
Dorsey has poor judgement. This has become increasingly more evident with his endorsement of Musk as CEO of Twitter as well.
Internet brain rot
Who cares?
"Shitbag does shitbag thing. News at 11!"
"RFK JR" doesn't mean shit to me lol, never heard of this guy. Jack dorsey is just some washed-up ceo, why do you care about his opinion anyways?
You mean the dude who's gunning for the Democratic presidential nomination and the other guy who's busy creating a Twitter alternative? They pretty much can affect public opinions, so people should at least be aware of the potential implications.
Keep that attitude and we'll repeat the 2016 election.
I vote. Do you? Literally anything is better than trump, even some nepotistic Kennedy brat. Even a squirrel would be better.
All republicans are evil.
Disagree. DeSantis is worse than Trump by almost any metric and I hope Trump goes to prison (which he won't).
Idk we will see what happens with him. I agree desantis is more dangerous right now.
What a fool
Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey appeared to endorse anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the Democratic presidential nomination over the weekend.
I see the worst possible timeline is coalescing. Bigoted Florida Man / Orange Narcissist versus Anti-vax conspiracy theorist... all of them with ties to hate groups.
I recommend the Conspirituality podcast for the most detailed non-hot take on RFK Jr. Cornell West said it best, "He needs to put down the crack pipe!"
Why is RFK jr. bad?
Looking at your country, he seems like a much better option than Biden, Trump, or Desantis.
Who else would you pick?
