404 guy seems like a typical historiphobic young journalist. Do some research before speaking, young ones.

Here are some names off the top of my head: Rupert Murdoch. Robert Maxwell. John Edward Taylor.

I'm sure five minutes' duckduckgoing would bring in several more.

> Rupert Murdoch. Robert Maxwell

They started out as publishers. I do not know about the other guy

The point is billionaires think that being rich equates with being smart equates with always being right which equates with being a bully

Elon is a perfect example. He is rich and smart, but definitely not always right and certainly a bully

Rupert Murdoch inherited his media empire, it originally started as corporate propaganda when a 1923 millionaire secretly bought a couple of papers to publish anti-union stories near his mines and ports, so it probably supports the argument.
