Billionaires don't learn, because they don't have to. No matter what happens here, they are perfectly safe in their little bubbles and can afford the delusion of "dialogue" with fascists, that everyone else's rights are up for discussion because their own are quite secure. He's as deluded and self-absorbed as the rest of them, he just hides it better.

Mark wasn't always a billionaire. Give him credit for starting a conversation. He seems genuine to me.

Money changes people. Unless they started out with a lot of money, in which case they just become more of who they are (example A - Trump), making that much money tends to make people arrogant and think they now have the right to determine things for others. By all means, continue your admiration for him, but don't be surprised when he reveals himself to be just as arrogant and out-of-touch as people like Zuckerberg and Bezos, while telling himself and others he really cares about "little people".

He actually campaigned for VP Harris.. didnтАЩt see Zuckerberg or coward Bezos doing that.

He may or may not be genuine here. It doesn't mean he is right here. He is coming from his own place of privilege and experience - whether or not he wasn't always a billionaire.

He spoke against trump publicly & frequentlyтАжitтАЩs a good start. But we must move with caution about who controls what and how much.

Agree. Billionaire is floating his idea for a business model to see if there is a market there. If not then walk.
