I assume they just hire people to march on their behalf.

And then stiff them off their pay.
You laugh but here in Australia when the Labor government was pushing for a Minerals Resources Rent Tax (MRRT) the big miners made their staff go attend a "protest" on Perth Foreshore during business hours.
I see a bunch of billionaires in one place as an opportunity.
Like the guy wouldn't just pay a bunch of people to show up
Actually came here to say this. This will be like those "supporters" that showed up to watch Pedonald come down that escalator. Paid actors.

9 out of 10 who claim to be billionaires at that march, won't be billionaires.
And the other one is lying, too.

Eggs? In this economy?
Choose rotten eggs
I think that's exactly why they probably won't have any showing up.
Or else they send proxies. If I was some assistant for one of these fuckers and they asked me to go, I think I'd call in sick that day. No way I'd want to be a meat shield for one of these dickheads.

I'll bring the guillotine.
Someone should have one pre-built and waiting at the end point of their march route.
Why wait for the end? Corral them in at the start and funeral then into a wood chipper.

We should schedule a march for guillotines that same day
Wow.
Turns out, if you try hard enough, you can find a protest that you want your police state to crack down on.
If only one more rally ever gets tear-gassed, I hope it's this one.
It won't. But the counter protesters will.
“Vilifying billionaires is popular. Losing them is expensive.”
If this isn't a Honeypot it is absolutely hilarious that think that billionaires being "lost" is them leaving the country/state
It sounds like yet another dumbass that had their brain scrambled by the horrible sci-fi writer named Ayn Rand, who was even worse at philosophy than she was at writing prose. Surprised they aren't just outright saying they are threatening to "go Galt". 🙄
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

They've been huffing their own farts for so long, they don't know what clean air smells like.

Yes, get them all in one place…
You're saying you're going to get them all in the same place huh? Excellent.
I'm here for the march, where do I park my Cybertruck?
Just leave it in that bicycle lane over there. There’s room on the crosswalk.

I'll eat my car is there is a single Billionaire spends any amount of time at these protests
I agree. I'd be surprised if even some centimillionaires would be there...I imagine seeing counterprotesters up close and personal would be a frightening prospect for them.
I'm told by a neighbor, she used to live in the neighborhood where this clownshow is starting his March, that it's a reasonably affluent area and several billionaires do actually live there. I suspect you are absolutely correct and none of them will show. Wish it wasn't quite so far away, but there's no way I could get to SF quick enough to watch the shenanigans that this is gonna cause.
Luigi intensifies…
It's not going to happen and we all know it, it's funny as fuck to imagine and on some deeply repressed level they know it, that's why they knew it would get publicity.
Beat him to death, with hammers.
The ongoing outrage over the proposed tax is a little funny, given that it’s already been known for quite some time that the legislation has almost no chance of being enacted. That’s because California Governor Gavin Newsom has already stated that, should the bill somehow pass, he would veto it.
That's not funny. But the billionaires should still march. They might be surprised how many people will gladly come and help march them through the streets.
Someone needs to invent a launch-and-forget autonomous drone model named Luigi.
LOL, this is going to be hilarious.
I seem to remember some group would dress up in top hats and monocles with satirical signs supporting the parasitic elite.
The march will be online of ai generative clones of 1 million Eric’s!
The one march that wont have any threats of violence against it, because the people that do that are bootlickers
Nuke them all from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.
So what, there’d be dozens at best? Fuck billionaire thieves. You shouldn’t exist.
Fuck billionaires completely.
The stupidity is palpable.
I stopped reading after "AI startup".Everything these clowns do is a publicity stunt aimed at sucking up VC money and splitting before the jig is up.
Didn’t I see a post earlier from someone saying they made this website to get them all in one place?

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
