The US government works for the Bezoses, Gates, Buffetts and Musks of the world.

Yes they definitely work for three new-money tech billionaires and not the old money generational wealth families that nobody talks about.

What good would it have done for OP to list the names of "families that nobody talks about"? Listing Bezos/Musk is an easy way to just say, "richest mother fuckers in the world". You don't have the same impact if you list a name that nobody knows.

Because then it would be, "The US government works for the Clarks of the world," and we'd all be going, "Huh?".
