They're all pretty shitty, but Cuban is at least one of the less shitty ones. His work on reduced cost pharmaceuticals has been life-changing for some people, and is a really nice break from big pharma constantly trying to fuck you as hard as they can.

Yeah he's probably dying in the revolution, but towards the end. Assholes like Musk or Shkreli are far, far worse.

I'm staying neutral. I want to like him, but the last rich as fuck guy I thought was funny and was going to change the world for the better turned into one the biggest assholes on the planet.

Musk (assuming that's who you're referring to) was never funny. He was always a fucking loser with the level of humour of an edgy, dumb, tryhard teenager. Almost everything about him is a lie, he just managed to keep it under wraps while his PR machine painted him as a quirky genius.

Musk is a Supervillain. I knew that right from the start.

Nah super villains are cool and successful. Musk is somehow the world's richest man and still a loser whose kid hates him.

still a loser whose kid hates him.

Just one? He has 12 of them. Because he thinks the world is under-populated. I wish I was making that up.

Oh, he's a villain alright, just not a super one
