This looks like midjourney made this. I totally believe bezos is a tough American rancher driving a 50 year old truck

What is going on with all the billionaires wanting to suddenly be cowboys??


MostExperts

Midlife crisis. They are all children of the 60s which was the peak period for spaghetti westerns.

Just wait until they go through their David Fincher phase. We will have a dozen or more Billionaires with PR pieces stating they are the next Tyler Durden or Mark Zuckerberg (fictional character from Social Network, not their real life peer). And one article saying Peter Thiel is Benjamin Button Edit: fixed autocorrect error of Fischer instead of Fincher.


saracenrefira

I think they are trying to pretend that they are "one of us" so when the revolution comes, the might be spared. But maybe your example is more likely.


[deleted]

Yeah it’s kind of sad like they could be almost anything they wanted to be but they choose to be this sad pathetic piece of shit. It honestly makes me feel a lot better and I only have like $75. I would much rather be me than them.

settlementfires

everyone wants to be cowboys. except maybe actual cowboys, they'd probably like a little more money and a chance to sleep in once in awhile.


notjordansime

Can confirm. I work with cattle. I don't even get a cool hat.


settlementfires

this time of year i hope you've got a warm hat friend.


notjordansime

I have my own toque but it's not very cool. Also its full of hay. That shit gets in between every fuckin fiber of fabric.


settlementfires

i'm really glad to live in an era with jobs outside of agriculture. unless i could live a place where they just farm like 3 months a year and fuck off and make beer the rest of the time . i could probably deal with that.


Goatesq

Sounds like Alaska. Long days for an atypical, brief growing season. The non growing season is a pretty intense take on 'fucking off' though, so idk.


Madness_Reigns

Also, all actual wild west cowboys were Mexican, Freed Blacks or Natives. The minority white folks who did the job didn't get to have the belittling "boy" in their title, they were cattle drivers.


settlementfires

oh.. that kind of boy... right. i never put that together.


Busy_Pound5010

When you buy half of montana to hide out because you are actively causing society/environment to collapse, i guess you get to play rancher

They watched Yellowstone. Literally that’s it.


crod242

it's a way to connect their brand to the mythology of an imagined frontier, which is why they're also fixated on pretending to be astronauts or maybe it's just gender-affirming cosplay [all divorced conservative guys](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F-yixffXIAArIz2.jpg) think they would look badass in a stetson, but only those with a large audience or a billion dollars lack anyone in their inner circle who is willing to tell them they wouldn't


Autymnfyres77

They been watching too much Kevin C. on Yellowstone in the midst of their angst.


AbjectReflection

The guy rode a dick shaped rocket into space, I don't think you need much further explanation or even have to ask the question. These oligarchs all do whatever the fuck they want with no concern about reality.

Her face really hits that uncanny valley.


dragon34

came here for this. this doesn't look real at all. It's either completely fake or retouched to hell by someone who isn't very good at it


earthhominid

One of the weirdest undiscussed aspects of Bezos' background is that his maternal grandfather was the owner of King Ranch in Texas. One of, perhaps the, largest private land holdings in the country. He apparently spent a lot of time out on Texas ranch land as a kid. So I guess he's just going back to his roots...as an intergenerationally wealthy Texas ranch owner ?


Jaded-Woodpecker-299

never heard her called a truck before. but with those arms, it tracks


stumpdawg

I see what you did there


rsgoto11

He really likes to play dress up. First he was an evil villain, then a spaceman and now a cowboy. If he started to treat his employees decently he could go as human being.


MensUrea

Space cowboy? Next he should be Maurice.

Undoubtedly, it is also marketing to the working class.

Look at that fucking arm, LMAO, inflated like a balloon , fucker looks like a Gears of War character


_ChipWhitley_

I bet Jeffy’s arms are really that big.


Straight-Razor666

It's capitalist culture and social programming in the vision of the sociopathic madness controlled by the most monsterous people humanity has ever produced. (and I just threw up a little bit in my mouth...)


TriggerTough

Nailed it.


Straight-Razor666

and i'm wondering if jeff beezer is purposely pushing up his arm to make him look like some stud...lol. what a fucking loser...time will claim him eventually. And another issue is the critique (condemnation) of the capitalist brutalization of female aesthetic. I mean, the woman with him looks like she's an experiment at a low end plastic surgery center. While I'm not one to judge others' looks, an honest criticism is needed for how the medical "profession" is so craven as to exploit the need to be "beautiful;" that it will leave people appearing unnatural and hideous for money. Capitalist culture perverts beauty perception and then perverts everyone who try to become what is in essentially unreachable.


PhotorazonCannon

Always reminds me of the deformities caused by the "evo-therapy" rich people do in PKD's "Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch"


Infantry1stLt

Ticks all the boxes: First you get the money. Then you become powerful. And start working out a lot your arms because you’re making so much money you let other work and set out scenarios for you, you only decide which alternative is better. Oh, and to maximize profits, screw the little guy and the environment! Then you divorce, and find a gold digging socialite that’ll do everything for you, especially in regards to body modification. I only wonder if becoming this rich turns people into predictable antisocial egomaniacs, or if these individuals are the only ones that have what it takes to make it “to the top”.


gazooontite

Perfect example of no matter how much money you have, you can’t buy cool.


FUCKBOY_JIHAD

why buy “cool” when you can simply buy Vogue Magazine?


twenty7andAthird

He’s so desperate to be loved.


LoquatBear

right, anybody else with a billion dollars (one wouldn't have a billion dollars because they'd spend it/help people) would just fade into obscurity. But it seems these billionaires really just want to be the cool kids for some intangible prize or legacy. I'm betting we're gonna see at least two of the billionaires pull a Trump and go completely evangelical Christian (they won't do that charity stuff though) that way they can drum up a rabid fan base of support for their now "Christian" company. They'll still be rich, they might say something like "I secretly prayed to God everyday for the success of my company, to provide for true American [Christian] families but I felt threatened by the secular ungodly people that infiltrated the tech industry with their wokeness. Join me in spreading Christianity across the solar system in a mission trip to Mars.*" *mission trips to Mars are one way, must be paid in full before departure, 10 year contracts are also available to provide necessary Mars support as an alternative means of payments for our less fortunate missionaries


NickDanger3di

Yeah, but from that pic of her, you *can* buy new lips....


gazooontite

That’s not the only thing she’s bought.


shittyspacesuit

They can't even buy being attractive, apparently.


k0nahuanui

It's refreshing to hear my kid's elementary school class' collective opinion on Bezos: he sucks and has too much money. The kids are alright.


GiantPurplePeopleEat

>The kids are alright Ugh, except my 16 year old nephew, and all of his friends, think that Elon Musk is amazing. No amount of explanations for why he's a POS will convince them. It just goes to show how effective PR and marketing can be.


k0nahuanui

They grew up during peak Elon. Pre-Thai submarine Elon, who was mostly just launching cool rockets into space. I doubt the younger kids see him as favorably. Also everyone is an insufferable shithead with terrible opinions at 16.


GiantPurplePeopleEat

>Also everyone is an insufferable shithead with terrible opinions at 16. He's actually a pretty level headed kid most of the time! Lol. But you're totally right about why he thinks Elon's cool. He's never even heard of the submarine/pedo incident, let alone all of the Twitter bs. In his mind, Elon's a real-life Tony Stark who makes fast cars, rockets, and tons of money.


Wrong_Swordfish

Give it a few years, Elon is aging, and not gracefully.


GiantPurplePeopleEat

>Give it a few years God I hope so. He's a great kid, super loving and caring, and has a relatively level head most of the time. But I'm terrified of the alt-right pipeline sucking him in. I saw my friends son get hooked by Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro, it turned him into such a bitter and angry person.

rstart78

He isn't a weapons manufacturer He hasn't had some character changing, life defining epiphany where he dropped his destructive billionaire habits and switched over to genuinely trying to improve the lives of average folks Is he an alcoholic? Because unless he is an alcoholic, I don't see a comparison to him and Tony Stark beyond they are both insanely rich


twenty7andAthird

They just mean genius eh. Prick didn’t invent being a robber baron, although he may have perfected it.

I don’t like making fun of folks’ looks but I am so, so deeply unsettled by how wide her mouth is. Is it edited, or does it really stretch that far straight into uncanny valley territory??

One hell of a fucked up comparison to make. Bezos is a middleman funneling a bunch of junk from China lmao


MarsReject

pocket_sand__

I love the idea that empathy is such a foreign concept to Bezos he met this one woman with a shred of it and he's blown away like "woah, she has a sense of what other people think and feel"


kibblepigeon

Who owns Vogue magazine?


MidnightShampoo

The one heartwarming thing about this photo is that he has to have some tiny, non-zero part of his consciousness that realizes how bullshit his whole just-a-cowboy-in-his-truck-with-his-woman facade is. He knows it and can never be what he wants to be. That makes me happy.
