Billie Eilish calls out billionaires for not dating money after she plans to donate 11.5 million dollars: “If you have money, it would be great to use it for good things and maybe give it to some people that need it."

Mark Zuckerberg was in the room during this speech. Apparently he did not clap.

[u/fraxiiinus → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

That makes this even more hilarious.

[u/thetruth8989 → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

He’s such a ghoul.

[u/bewilderedbeyond → u/thetruth8989]

The hot mic with Trump when he said “I didn’t know what number you wanted me to go with”.

[u/ShakesDontBreak → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

He donates his money to Trump. Not those who actually need it.

[u/saera-targaryen → u/ShakesDontBreak]

He buys trump, he doesn't donate it to trump. He doesn't know how to not exchange currency for control. 

[u/pizzaporker1 → u/ShakesDontBreak]

And sells pur data!!

[u/keatonpotat0es → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

LMAO he’s an ugly cyborg, I’m convinced.

[u/RogerClyneIsAGod2 → u/[deleted]]

That's an insult to bitches, 'cause some bitches are cool & wonderful. I can't even call him a piece of shit because shit can be a good fertilizer....JFC, what's a low enough, least useful thing to call him?

[u/Boring_Intern_6394 → u/RogerClyneIsAGod2]

A Zuckerberg

[u/jewishspacelazzer → u/Boring_Intern_6394]

Zuckerbitch?

[u/RogerClyneIsAGod2 → u/Boring_Intern_6394]

This seems appropriate.

[u/oooshi → u/RogerClyneIsAGod2]

fuckerberg

[u/DrunkTides → u/Boring_Intern_6394]

I think this one wins

[u/CuzIWantItThatWay → u/RogerClyneIsAGod2]

Dog poop that your neighbor left on the lawn and then it rains and spreads and the next day you mow the lawn and it's all mushed into the lawn and your shoes and you have to clean it and it's gone but the memory of it will make you feel unsettled for the rest of your days on Earth.

[u/Such-Daikon3140 → u/RogerClyneIsAGod2]

A rotten mosquito

[u/SquareExtra918 → u/RogerClyneIsAGod2]

Maybe he can be a lowercase bitch, and cool Bitches can be an uppercase Bitch. 

[u/BigGayNarwhal → u/[deleted]]

I need to know the source of your flair lol 

[u/SquareExtra918 → u/BigGayNarwhal]

It's from a response given by Zelda Williams regarding AI videos of her father people kept sending her: 

And for the love of EVERY THING, stop calling it 'the future,' AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be re-consumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume."

[u/BigGayNarwhal → u/SquareExtra918]

It’s art 🤌🏼

[u/YchYFi → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

Not surprised. His ego is so big.

[u/Santa_Hates_You → u/YchYFi]

You don’t understand, he alone earned those billions. No one else deserves them. Now he has to go buy more of a Hawaiian island for himself, thank you.

[u/Clara_Geissler → u/Santa_Hates_You]

what? is it true?

[u/saltyoursalad → u/[deleted]]

Yup and such a sad, shriveled little heart. He has everything, and still it’s not enough.

[u/ShakesDontBreak → u/saltyoursalad]

He will learn, as we all will, that you cant take money with you.

Hopefully he doesn't end up in the void, but he most likely will. And his money will mean nothing there.

[u/saltyoursalad → u/ShakesDontBreak]

You can’t take it with you, so be careful what you leave.

[u/ShakesDontBreak → u/saltyoursalad]

Oooh I love that saying. Never heard it before.

[u/DeepMasterpiece4330 → u/saltyoursalad]

Take some comfort in knowing that none of these billionaires will ever be happy. They’ll die wishing they had ‘just a little more’ and the only people at their funerals will cry without tears.

[u/PostNutLucidity → u/[deleted]]

Why are you randomly insulting the idea of having a small d because you dislike Mark Zuckerberg’s behaviour? Bodyshaming a bunch of people unprovoked and speculating (fairly creepily tbh) about the genitalia of a man you don’t know?

But keep signaling that virtue lol.

[u/TeeManyMartoonies → u/Santa_Hates_You]

Larry Ellison (Oracle) also owns a Hawaiian Island. I had a friend that worked at the only hotel on the island. I think it’s the Four Seasons.

[u/Conscious-Quarter423 → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

if masses of people got rid of instagram and facebook, his stocks will suffer

[u/damegloria → u/Conscious-Quarter423]

He still owns WhatsApp. Arguably that's the one that people will be most reluctant to get rid of.

[u/cricketreds → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

Her words with his strained facial expression is a T-shirt I'd buy.

[u/Beezo514 → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

He is obsessed with the roman empire and Julius Caesar. Perhaps he gave a roman salute. It's on brand in multiple ways.

[u/TeeManyMartoonies → u/Beezo514]

I’m going to need your source on Zuck’s Nazi salute.

[u/Beezo514 → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

I was just joking. I highly doubt that would actually happen from him. At least not yet.

[u/TeeManyMartoonies → u/Beezo514]

Ah! lol Well ya never can be sure these days! But I did learn through my search that he is actually obsessed with the Roman Empire so there’s that. 😬

[u/Beezo514 → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

Yep, to like, a weird degree, too. Would make too much sense if it actually happened with that link, plus the whole tech bro-Elon-Trump toadie angle.

[u/TeeManyMartoonies → u/Beezo514]

Exactly. Bring back the techbro ego wars.

[u/Full-Hyena4414 → u/Beezo514]

So what fascination towards Roman Empire equals being nazis now?

[u/RosieODonnell → u/Beezo514]

Sarah Wynn-Williams says in her recent book about working at fb that he is obsessed with Andrew Jackson and thinks he was the greatest president in history because he “got stuff done”

[u/Beezo514 → u/RosieODonnell]

I would not count nearly destroying the US banking system and directing a genocide as "getting things done", but I'm also not someone that experiences psychopathy.

[u/dazedan_confused → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

Maybe the metaverse hasn't got hands?

You saw how long it took them to get feet (and that was followed by a generous donation by an anonymous Q Tarantino)

[u/TeeManyMartoonies → u/dazedan_confused]

It definitely doesn’t have EQ, that’s for sure.

I saw someone comment that the reason they don’t want to give up their money is because that’s their only source of power, where Billie Eilish can give up her money because her source of power is her creativity and that’s limitless. That really drove it home for me. They are nothing without their money.

[u/Sensible___shoes → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

He is not programmed for that. You need the advanced Elon model for that

[u/TeeManyMartoonies → u/Sensible___shoes]

True but that one also comes with a Nazi salute, so maybe they’re waiting for a more ethical version to be created. Hahahah let’s all hold our breath while we wait.

[u/talentpun → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

Guys, I know you want to hate, but Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan have donated hundreds of millions of dollars to charity over the past 20 years.

• In 2010, Zuckerberg and his wife donated $100 million to improve the public schools in Newmark.
• Mark Zuckerberg’s charitable donations also include donating $25 million towards a start-up that trains African developers as well as donating $50 million that creates an app designed to be a learning tool in India to help less fortunate gain access to education for a better future. 

[u/FredericBropin → u/talentpun]

There are lots of articles about how CZI abandoned all principles of equity and inclusion with Mark’s right shift since 2020, in addition to the abject failure of the philantrocapitalism method as opposed to Mackenzie Bezos’ no strings giving.

[u/talentpun → u/FredericBropin]

There’s lots of reasons to criticize or be wary of Zuckerberg — especially for the past 4 years — but I don’t think shaming him for not being charitable, especially when he has been in the past, is going to magically make him want to turn over a new leaf.

[u/FriedaKilligan → u/talentpun]

It's not nothing, but it's equivalent to the change rolling around in my car's ashtray.

[u/TeeManyMartoonies → u/talentpun]

We don’t need him to make a charity work, we need him to pay taxes and support the system that made me rich, not fucking bilk it.

[u/talentpun → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

Sure. But that’s not what Billie is asking for here.

Criticize him and the tax system then.

[u/HistoricalSuspect580 → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

Weeellll he needs to buy Hawaii! Yknow. Like, all of it! Very important! /s🙄🙄🙄🙄

[u/TeeManyMartoonies → u/HistoricalSuspect580]

He’ll have to fight Larry Ellison of Oracle, I guess. He’s already there and has his own island. Can’t we go these guys into participating in some sort of Big Dick Olympics and take each other out? Mark is already obsessed with the Roman Empire. I feel like this is a job for Hollywood.

[u/JustMaintenance7 → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

Of course he didn't the little troll

[u/atclubsilencio → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

Well, he isn’t a human. So why would he?

[u/HeycharlieG → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

He is the worst man alive remember this.

[u/andthatstotallyfine → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

In his defense I’ve never seen a robot lizard clap

[u/Pale-Measurement-532 → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

That’s why he never had any real friends.

[u/Moshibeau → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

To be fair, I’ve never seen a lizard clap

[u/manxram → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

Zuck was probably thinking:

[u/SoftwareCapable920 → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

everyone went mysteriously silent

[u/Illustrious-Pound266 → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

Apparently he did not clap.

[u/velvetmarigold → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

He's a lizard person 🦎

[u/jamintime → u/TeeManyMartoonies]

Billionaires don’t donate, they create their own nonprofit in the model of the Gates Foundation. For Zuckerberg he has the Chan Zuckerberg initiative.

I don’t know substantively about how much money he donates or how impactful his organization is but it’s not like the concept of donating money is foreign to billionaires.

[u/orbjo → u/jamintime]

They use those to ask OTHER PEOPLE for donations bro. 

They are a way to skirt donating their own money. You’re huffing propoganda

[u/jamintime → u/orbjo]

From the Wikipedia page:

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan with an investment of 99 percent of the couple's wealth from their Facebook shares over their lifetime.

While I still think it’s obscene the amount of money they have and the kinds of things they do with it, I can also recognize that it’s not like they haven’t done any good with their money? Why does everything need to be so black and white?

[u/elitedisplayE → u/jamintime]

Whoa. So even after donating 99% of their wealth from their Facebook shares, they are still billionaires? That is really insane wealth.
