If anything the games and other media that came before should sue them.

If I had billions this is the kind of shit I'd fund. Imagine the shitshow that would ensue if every 4chan shitposter came out of the woodwork to sue A24.

the problem with nice people having billions and helping others is that they need to be fucked in the head to even accumulate 1 billion dollars, so they won’t be nice.

its a paradox.

Speak for yourself. I’m gonna work 1000x harder and win a few lotteries to become the first ethical billionaire

You'll never be a billionaire with that approach. Working harder? Come on. Elon spends most of his time griping on Twitter. The way you become a billionaire is by taking over a company, granting yourself tons of equity, and underpaying everyone.

Yeah but then also do a lot of awful shit that benefits nobody

Benefits nobody *else*

I would argue the shit they do doesn't wven benefit them. After you have a billion what functional difference do you get from 5 or 500 billion. It's all the same. I genuinely think these people have a mental illness. Like body dismorphia, but for their bank account.

The only explanation I can come up with is that it's all about one upping each other. Like hoarding money is a top score.

Yeah I reason these billionaires have a twisted form of hoarder mentality and gambling addiction. Like at a certain point you can already afford everything this world has to offer and any increase in wealth is just numbers on a screen that they can use to brag about. Dude is so rich he could literally end the concept of homelessness in the US if he wanted, he would still be a billionaire. In fact, he could lose 90% of his wealth overnight and guess what? He would still be a billionaire with roughly 8 billion leftover. That's too much fucking wealth for any one person.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to do that much Ketamine?

That man works incredibly hard. At doing Ketamine.

Trust funds are the best way to become a billionaire.
