Wow. It takes some spinning to reframe your billionaire rocket ride as some sort of equal rights crusade. https://t.co/027BVuHh2W

We should charge any billionaire returning to Earth a reasonable $50 billion landing fee.

yesterday, richard branson went to space. 9 days later, jeff bezos will too. there are 3288 billionaires today. at this pace, in 29574 days we’ll have sent them all and run out of billionaires on July 10 2102. this is unsustainable. we must increase our rate of billionaire export

Watching Richard Branson’s space voyage while watching people use GoFundme to feed their families is just a reminder of how wild capitalism is.

If Richard Branson's spaceship crash lands in the Amazon, and Jeff Bezos' spaceship crash lands in the Virgin Islands, we will have the most ironic moment in space travel history.
