For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Love you all, but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me. If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.
This is just...so weak. I really would have appreciated a "fuck you" and a vague threat of violence, but alas.
love you all
Man, dragging just isn't what it used to I guess
Jesus, by the headline I expected her to say something along the line of "your money is earned through exploitation of society's most vulnerable people, you wastes of air". Not, "why don't you give some of it away kthxbye <3"
Blasted! Skewered, even.
s l a m m e d
The ghost of Gaddafi is like, “yo WTF, this is what getting dragged is now??”
Playing both sides so she always comes out on top.
They're never going to financially recover from this.
Oh wait actually nevermind, it turns out they actually made more money while I was writing that sentence than I've made in my entire life. I guess they'll be okay.
I mean, wouldn't they need to financially suffer first to have a recovery? So I agree, they won't financially recover from this non-event. There's nothing to recover from.
Yeah that was originally the joke, but then halfway through writing it I just got depressed.
But were they eviscerated?
And did they all go to the same cocktail party afterwards?
DESTROYED, even.
The cocktail wieners tasted funny. I think it was the Brazilian rosewood toothpicks soaked in cognac, and covered in gold leaf. Billie had 16!
Billie Eilish SLAMS Mark Zuckerberg then gets SMASHED at the afterparty
You people bitch when they use the term "slam" but here they are trying something new and you shit on them anyway.
Turns out that its not the specific few words, but the fact that Zuck wasn't physically dragged/slammed/destroyed/evicerated or even just separated from his hundreds of billions. She actually just said some words.
Reasonable complaint, but I'd sooner commend her actions over the condemn the author's title.
It's just the hyperbole. It wouldn't matter which specific word they used if it more closely matched the level of intensity of what actually happened.
In this instance, even a cliché, overused term like 'jabs' would be fine.
We need more hate towards billionaires
That's a great halloween costume idea.
Zuckerberg is the fifth-richest person in the world with an estimated net worth of $228.3 billion, according to Forbes. In 2015, Zuckerberg and Chan pledged to give away 99 percent of their shares in Meta (Facebook at the time) to philanthropy over their lifetimes. To date, they’ve given away more than $7 billion.”
So in 10 years they've given away 3% of his net worth? Fucking slackers.
Well they need to enjoy every penny until they die. THEN they will give it away. To their own charity that has political influence for their kids.
So they will give 99% away. Which leaves them a billionaire.
We need to protect people like Zuckerburg from being singled out and hated by society. This is why we need to tax his wealth until he's no longer a billionaire.
"drags"
This is why AI is so successful in replacing bloggers but will never even come close to replacing real journalists.
Almost as bad as 'slams'.
More like 'gently chides'. Weak.
According to People, Zuckerberg did not clap after Eilish’s statement — at least according to an eyewitness who was present at the event and spoke with the publication.
"Drags" "slams" She didn't do anything that would affect anything at all. I don't care.
I am a wrestler and we don't use the word slam anywhere near as much as these 'journalists' do.
Maybe this will motivate Taylor Swift to give more than her equivalent of a nickel to a dying kid.
Real issue is not just owning billions, there is also what you have to do to hold on to that kind of money: suck up to dictators so they let you monopolize tech and crush small competitors.
not news. put this in the tabloid and entertainment communities
i dont get why billie ellish is such a big topic to talk about but also im old af so thats prolly why.
“Who?” - 99.8% of billionaires
