I did criticize him for that. I wasn't the person you were "arguing" with over what he did.
If you can't tell that I'm still talking about the original meme (whether you posted it or not is immaterial), that's your problem.
Your argument was that the original accusation was appropriate because he is a billionaire. That's bullshit logic, and we shouldn't just make shit up about billionaires if we want our criticisms to be taken seriously. "I hate billionaires" isn't a serious take if you can't explain how these accusations are validated by it.
I didn't say I hate billionaires. They shouldn't exist != I hate them. You conflate two opinions that could agree as the same thing.
My stance on billionaires will not change because you thought you hit me with a "gotcha" moment.
Billionaires should not exist because no person can get to be a billionaire without stepping on others to get there. Billionaires aren't inherently worth more than anyone else.
If billionaires exist at the same time of people suffering (homelessness, medical debt and inability to pay for treatment, starvation, etc and the list goes on) then they shouldn't exist. That amount of wealth is for sociopaths, that amount of wealth is amassed by those lacking empathy, and moral value.
So take your argumentative behavior elsewhere.
