    Musk still has a $122B lead on Bezos, and made $104B of it in the last 32 days.

      He has a $122 BILLION lead, and he’s earned $133 BILLION over the past year.

      His wealth has increased by 50% over the past year alone

        And $104B out of the $133B was made just since the election.

            Not just him. Trump has the most billionaire-packed administration in history, and they are all about to see huge gains.

        Part of the problem is that other sites are just soooo shit when it comes to online shopping. I hate Amazon and Bezos, but they are dominating 1. Because they are a monopoly, but 2. Because they simply are better at everything.

        From customer service, to app, to search, to tracking and returns, no-one else comes close.

        It sucks, but it’s the truth.

      I just have to say, we shouldn’t even be targeting musk with this; we need to be going after his family.

      Once musk is out of the picture, they’re just going to inherit the wealth and continue to use it to gain more wealth as quickly as they think possible.

      Keep in mind, as it stands right now, his kids expect our kids to serve them.
