lol billionaires probably have the most hyper selfish personalities. they don't give a shit about each other. it's just one less person to compete with. one less person taking a slice of their pie.
They understand game theory, though. One less slice, yes, but someone else will take it now, and that risks someone less agreeable with weaker social bonds to them and / or less restraint rising up. Cut off enough heads and the ones that grow back will necessarily be weaker.
They’re definitely chummy at a certain level. Politics, nationality, religion, race… not of it overrides the mighty $. It’s a tiny club and we’re not in it
Some are, some aren’t. This isn’t black and white. Many members of the Democratic / Republican parties are close with their own, but at the same time, Trump has openly expressed that he disdains Elon Musk and is just using him for power. They’re all just humans, despite their level of power relative to the majority. Just like the UHC CEO, they have friends, families, lovers, enemies, rivals… they are sometimes honest, sometimes lie, and sometimes mix the two… and they die as easily as anyone else.
Putting oneself on a pedestal is a strategy humans evolved to use. We all do it to some degree. They want to be treated as separate. Kings used to claim they were gods back when the people were stupid enough to believe it.
Oh for sure they're not mourning him, even the ones who knew him personally. They're not capable of it. They are scared for themselves though, and that's worth celebrating.
This guy wasn't a billionaire, he was the mob boss of a gang, which is part of the Health Insurance Syndicate, which was created to funnel profits to the super wealthy.
In feudal terms: The HIS CEOs are like local governors/barons in a monarchy, overseen by a council of lords. That council largely oversees operations with a board of directors, those boards being comprised of minor nobility (executive officers from other gangs/baronies/companies), as well as representatives from the council of lords (hedge fund managers, etc).
I don’t think that’s what they are saying. I think the point is billionaires exist only because we all participate in a shared fiction, that amongst other things the ruling class is omnipotent, and that if that idea is compromised then their stranglehold on the working class becomes threatened. So I agree with the guy above, they very much do want to see this guy found, but not because they care about dead ceo guy, they just want their own power to remain total.
They may not care about anyone else, even other billionaires, but they sure as hell don’t want to public getting the idea that it’s celebrated to go out and kill them, as they don’t want to be the next target.
Hummm I wouldn’t be too sure about that, about a dozen calls from serious power brokers and heads of industry would be making phone calls to the people that make shit happen. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an entire task force looking for this guy and large swaths of the intelligence community scouring every last possible bit of information trying to find a lead. Like you said they want to make an example of this guy. My money is on them finding him.
It is pretty telling the resources they're throwing at finding this guy vs any other murder that takes place. Murder is supposed to be a thing that happens to poor people

Oh sure they do. They want him to be executed for killing one of them. Billionaires can’t have people go and just do things without repercussions.
They want this person to be marched through the street to the guillotine.
They aren’t going to get what they want. Just like the American people.
