Ah yes she hit him with the power of talking. There is a chance he won't recover from this for the next 5 seconds.
We need to protect people like Zuckerburg from being singled out and hated by society. This is why we need to tax his wealth until he's no longer a billionaire. We need to tax him for his own good.
Good fuck 'em.
that is a very low bar for "dragging"
Billie Eilish SLAMS billionaires!
Love you all, but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me. If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.
This is just...so weak. I really would have appreciated a "fuck you" and a vague threat of violence, but alas.
love you all
Man, dragging just isn't what it used to I guess
Jesus, by the headline I expected her to say something along the line of "your money is earned through exploitation of society's most vulnerable people, you wastes of air". Not, "why don't you give some of it away kthxbye <3"
"Wow she's so articulate."
Blasted! Skewered, even.

The ghost of Gaddafi is like, “yo WTF, this is what getting dragged is now??”
Playing both sides so she always comes out on top.

We need more hate towards billionaires
That's a great halloween costume idea.
Zuckerberg is the fifth-richest person in the world with an estimated net worth of $228.3 billion, according to Forbes. In 2015, Zuckerberg and Chan pledged to give away 99 percent of their shares in Meta (Facebook at the time) to philanthropy over their lifetimes. To date, they’ve given away more than $7 billion.”
So in 10 years they've given away 3% of his net worth? Fucking slackers.
he isnt giving away his cash cow, silly people.
Well they need to enjoy every penny until they die. THEN they will give it away. To their own charity that has political influence for their kids.
So they will give 99% away. Which leaves them a billionaire.

They're never going to financially recover from this.
Oh wait actually nevermind, it turns out they actually made more money while I was writing that sentence than I've made in my entire life. I guess they'll be okay.
I mean, wouldn't they need to financially suffer first to have a recovery? So I agree, they won't financially recover from this non-event. There's nothing to recover from.
Yeah that was originally the joke, but then halfway through writing it I just got depressed.
But were they eviscerated?
And did they all go to the same cocktail party afterwards?
DESTROYED, even.
The cocktail wieners tasted funny. I think it was the Brazilian rosewood toothpicks soaked in cognac, and covered in gold leaf. Billie had 16!

"drags"
This is why AI is so successful in replacing bloggers but will never even come close to replacing real journalists.
"real journalists"
I think those have been extinct for well over a decade now.
All I've seen are smug douchebags jerking themselves off for "saving democracy" by posting mugshots and peddling billionaire propaganda.
It's not like the media has been utterly complicit in boosting trump to where he is now.
That's a US amurican centered view. Real journalism hasn't died, even in the US, i. e. Jason Schrier, reports important events in the industry like the Rockstar anti union events. Reuters, DW, ICJ, et al continue to do good work. It's not their fault our governments ignore the reporting and let everyone walk scot free after panama papers, et al.
For each real journalist you name I can name two dozen shitheads. The state of journalism is fucked

"Drags" "slams" She didn't do anything that would affect anything at all. I don't care.
I am a wrestler and we don't use the word slam anywhere near as much as these 'journalists' do.
More like 'gently chides'. Weak.
Working 40 hours a week at $20 an hour gets you less than $35k take home a year. Fuck billionaires and millionaires.
When I was growing up, I didn't even have a concept of a billionaire. I remember considering that to be a millionaire you had to be able to spend a million dollars and still have a million left over. In effect, a person wasn't a millionaire until they had reached the second million. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire threw me for a loop because the top prize was only a million dollars.
When I was a young teenager I was quite pleased at saving $300 to buy a new bike because after I bought it, I still had just over a hundred dollars left. It was euphoric to have been a hundredaire for a few days.
Not sure why that popped into my head reading your comment, but there you go.
According to People, Zuckerberg did not clap after Eilish’s statement — at least according to an eyewitness who was present at the event and spoke with the publication.
Real issue is not just owning billions, there is also what you have to do to hold on to that kind of money: suck up to dictators so they let you monopolize tech and crush small competitors.
Maybe this will motivate Taylor Swift to give more than her equivalent of a nickel to a dying kid.
