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.

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 problem I have with this conspiracy of capitalism is that, after having reached the top of the money pile by unadulterated selfish means, we now expect these people to work collectively for each other's benefit?
Nah.
