A billionaire asked for that article to be written

*paid for it

Nah, knowing the way that the US works he just asked, and someone bent over backwards to write it for free. Same way Elon doesn't have to pay for marketing anymore, he just tweets and his rabid fans will retweet it even if it's the most obviously debunkable factoid imaginable. Even if Elon just tweets under some smooth brained tweet with "Curious" they're all over that shit. "if the Earth was really round, how's the air stay on it?" - moron. Elon: "interesting" ElonSimps: "EARTH IS FLAT YALL ELON SAID SO."

Elon figured out that he can leverage the dimwits for massive amounts of free advertising.

Pretty much. I'm seeing more and more Billionaires are less about"How I made money" and are more like: "How I swindled folks into giving me free stuff/refused to pay bills that a normal person would have."

Surely. Or Billionaire Mike Bloomberg.

Bezos didn’t need to pay for that article….

Yeah, Jeff Bezos.

Yeah, Jeff bezos, the guy who owns the Washington post

Jeff Bezos owns the platform that published the article, every single news source is owned by some multi billionaire, thats why you clown on them whenever they talk about cost of living or billionaires.

are you new? bezos owns the washington shitpost.

Another panel to add to this classic meme - https://i.redd.it/dpghtkaxbed71.jpg

One word answer: NO

You forgot a few of these at the end ---> !!!!!!!

It's also from 4 years ago. People just looking for rage

says the media platform owned by lemme check oh its Jeff Bezos. Never trust Mainstream news.

What? Like victims of what? 1 billion has 9 zeros. 1% interest on a billion in a year is more money than I care to even bother imagining. It's an insane amount of money. The only thing they are a victim of is the spoilt snobbish mentality they were born into. But in all fairness, they could easily change that if they just looked around so no sympathies

Do people commenting not realize that the article is satirical? Or is everyone just on another level of irony than I am?

Is licking boots the new woke?

No. Next stupid question?

On this weeks edition of "How to tell your news is being written by billionaires for billionaires, and you can believe as much of it, equally"

Guess who’s dick Tom Toles is sucking.

Is this the rag Jeff Bezos bought?

HELL NO!!!!! which billionaire paid to have this article published?

Jeff Bezos. WP is owned by Amazon.

They are telling us to eat bugs when out of bread.

I just read a WaPo article titled “Is Jeff Bezos The Sexiest Misunderstood Genius?” by newly hired journalist Beff Jezos.

We absolutely are thinking of them and how they'll taste roasted.

won't somebody PLEASE think of the billionaires? 

Abso-fucking-lutely not.

This gives me such silicon valley vibes, when Gavin Belson is trying to say that billionaires today are treated worse than Jewish people during the Holocaust.

r/nottheonion

No, no it isn’t.

Maybe Tom Toles should stick to drawing fucking pictures.

Stupid analogy.

That's a stretch the most limber person could not make.

wow someone at the Washington post is really working hard on perfecting their rimming skills

Green face

Well, I think this is the dumbest fucking shit I’ve ever heard in my life.

You have to worship your master. That's the american way

What.
