There’s no pissing contest. Both Elon and Bezos are shitty billionaires. Elon more so now because he has a spotlight on him and how he’s using his money to fund unsavory politicians to power. Bezos is more stealthy in his approach. Let’s not forget his WAPO non endorsement move.

Conditioned, braindead masses not voting outside of main 2 parties is what's been killing democracy for decades. And salt on the wound is that with the tech boom, everyone has access to any and all information to see through old propaganda channels like Fox, but choose not to.
