Bernie Sanders claimed that anyone who thought there was no ‘oligarchy’ in America was very wrong.
US Senator Bernie Sanders slammed American billionaires in a recent speech, saying, “Anyone who thinks we don’t have an oligarchy in America is very wrong.” His speech soon went viral on social media, with many users joining him. Condemning billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson—their space voyages, superyachts and mansions—even others disagreed with what an oligarchy was. Branson, it should be noted, is an English billionaire. “Multi-billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Richard Branson are taking pleasure rides into outer space on their rocket ships,” Bernie said in his speech. They’re buying a $500 million superyacht.
Bernie reiterated his view, tweeting, “The question before us is whether we will stand with the interests of billionaires and big money or will we stand with the working families of this country and protect their interests.”

In a series of tweets, Bernie also spoke out against subsidizing Bezos’ space trips.
I think, if you’re worth $180 billion, if you have mansions and superyachts, if your hobby is trying to go to the Moon or Mars or wherever, you’re doing yourself a great deal of — no, sir. Bezos, you don’t need $10 billion in corporate welfare to subsidize your space travel.—Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) 31 March 2022
