It's not the 1% it's the 0.01%.
- I initially knee-jerk disagreed, thinking it's gotta be all those rich bastards, but then I checked the numbers. The top 0.1% of the US had $22.19 trillion in wealth in Q1 2025. Zoom out to the top 1% and it was $27.2 trillion.
  
  Yeah, it's the fucking 0.1%.
  
  What if you zoomed to 0.01%?
- The 0.0001% actually : https://eattherichtextformat.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/
  
  (Someone actually updated it with Musk's fortune, but this version is more relevant here)
- The top 1% of the top 1%. The guys that play God without permission.
- What I'm about to tell you is top secret. There's a powerful group of people out there that are secretly running the world. I'm talking about the guys, no one knows about the guys who are invisible. The top 1% of the top 1%. The guys that play God without permission. And now I think they're following me.

- The comments section is disgusting.
  
  It is. Many are calling out the protesters for not being at work when they are protesting a bunch of celebrities partying all night long in the middle of the week...

I have no doubt that he’s quite upset about this…so has he tried not being a complete fucking arsehole yet?
- It is physically impossible for him to be upset by this. Its what let him make billions. He's a narcissistic sociopath. Like most of them are.
