It definitely goes both ways. Nobody with a moral compass becomes a billionaire and vice versa
You can look at the Epstein files and conclude that only bad people have billions of dollars, but I think it’s also possible that having billions of dollars cauterizes your humanity

Qué peligro publicar miles de documentos sin contextos, como pasó con los emails de Clinton liberados por Wikileaks que dieron lugar a la conspiración del Pizzagate. Se está dejando de lado y minusvalorando, una vez más, a las víctimas reales de las agresiones sexuales de Epstein y su entorno.

My friendship with Noam Chomsky goes back decades. But, reading his friendly correspondence with Jeffery Epstein made me shudder. I know that Noam cannot defend himself. But in many ways, the emails speak for themselves. See my note: www.counterpunch.org/2026/02/03/o...

Well, the thing is that Sánchez has not left X (on the contrary, he’s so comfortable there that he has not opened an account here) and has paid millions to Space X to launch satellites.
The Sánchez 🇪🇸 government has
- built Europe's boom economy
- hiked minimum wage from €736 to €1221
- cut insecure work from c.30% to c.13%
- regularised, not demonised, migrants
- stood up for human rights
- refused to humiliate itself before Trump
No wonder Musk hates it.
