What planet are you on? This is how the world works. People with money spend it to gain benefits and value.

Last time I checked this was earth.
I’ve been here long enough to know that leaving capitalism unchecked is not the best course for the majority of society, and that we have a system of laws in place to prevent abuses as well as a tax system that helps redress systemic inequity.
Reall though, are you going to deny that letting oligarchs like musk run rampant is how twitter got fucked up in the first place?
