Comparing Two Billionaires

At 53, Elon Musk is the richest man in the world. Jeff Bezos is the second-richest man in the world. It's interesting to see how the two handle their fortunes.

Elon Musk and his son, X.
Musk uses his money for the betterment of all. As the force behind DOGE, the newly-formed agency tasked with rooting out waste, fraud and abuse from our government, he has saved the average taxpayer $938.61 so far. He founded SpaceX in 2002 with the goal of reducing space launch costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. The company has achieved significant milestones, including the development of reusable rockets and successful missions to the International Space Station. 

Most recently he sent a rocket to the International Space Station to rescue two stranded American astronauts who were there for almost nine months and whom our government under Joe Biden chose to ignore. His Tesla, the first modern electric car, continues to drastically cut our air pollution created by traditional gas-powered vehicles. Basically, Musk is committed to doing as much as he possibly can to protect and improve the future of mankind.

Bezos and fiancee Lauren Sanchez.
Bezos, on the other hand, is a self-serving clown who wants nothing more than to bask in the spotlight of fame and flaunt his fortune. The 61-year-old founder of Amazon, which is certainly a good thing, has since done little of benefit for anyone but himself. First he purchased The Washington Post, a liberal rag so slanted you have to bend over to read it, and so what. 

His latest stunt this very week was to send his sexpot fiancee and five other "celebrity" women untrained for the job to "outer space" for an undeclared amount of money, but use your imagination. The cost of the ladies' matching designer flight suits alone likely could feed the inhabitants of a small African nation for a year. This space ride did nothing for anyone except for the riders, who, besides a new blue jumpsuit,  got to "experience weightlessness" for ten whole minutes. But it made the narcissistic Bezos front-page news for at least a few days.

So I ask you, which billionaire brings more shame to America?
