Billionaire Capitalists Like Musk and Thiel Want to Kill Democracy
U.S. oligarchs are backing Donald Trump and the neofascists surrounding him in a bid to roll back the clock to the Gilded Age.

I don't get that. I would rather be a Billionaire in a "moderated" democracy, than in a system where you can just disappear or fall out of a window, if a single more powerful person wishes so.
Look up the word "oligarchy"
That's what this is.
oligarchy
Not unlike Russia today.
Well, except that your votes still carry some weight in the U.S.
Not a hell of a lot, but certainly more than Russia.
I would also rather be a billionaire in a system where workers rights are respected, everyone has enough money and work is fairly paid. These people aren't like us however - they want more and more and more and more, and as long as they see a chance to come out on top, they'll take it. Musk would rather be a little bit richer in a dictatorship than have only his current wealth in a democracy. If you're not like this, there's no chance to become a billionaire.
They think they're going to be the top person.
At least they have a reason to believe that. The idiots on welfare who think they'll be allowed into the club as soon as the government stops holding them down are the ones I don't get.
I don't get that either.
