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

I have an idea for a reality show.
It’s called “Billionaires Solve Problems the Government Solved a Long Time Ago and Then Explain How Much More Efficient They Are Than Government.”
I may ask Richard Branson to produce.https://t.co/Lv1ZO3D0AI

All things considered, I doubt Richard Branson would have expected his billion-quid space-flight launch to be overshadowed by a guy with a flare up his arse in central London

Richard Branson will be the first billionaire to make a space flight ahead of Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk but surely there is a way to fire all three of them together into outer space

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.
