The funniest part of all the billionaires are building bunker stories is the part where they’re sure the class hierarchy will survive the apocalypse.

"I once met a former bodyguard of one billionaire with his own "bunker", who told me his security team's first priority, if this really did happen, would be to eliminate said boss and get in the bunker themselves. And he didn't seem to be joking."

Tech billionaires seem to be doom prepping. Should we be worried?

The debate is ramping up about what happens if - or when - computer intelligence overtakes humans

I don't understand how the ultra rich do not understand that at the end of the day, when money has no value, their staff will totally kick them out of the bunker and invite their families inside.

yeup. It's easy to brush aside musk's antics with "well, all companies/CEO are evil in one way or another"

That's like saying a firecracker is as dangerous as a stick of dynamite. Yet, people will delude themselves into accepting horrible actions from a brand they use.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.
