I also love how in comics and movies billionaires use their wealth to build cars, motorcycles, jets, boats and equipment to fight crime and go after bad guys ... they also train in martial arts, take care of their body, physical enhancements in order to become bigger, stronger, faster.
But in real all we get is a bunch of aging billionaires who hide in obscurity in big mansions, no one ever knows what they do, and the only time we hear from them is when they announce that they've made more money ... they also associate themselves with fascists and authoritarians and don't show any empathy for anyone ... meanwhile, the world becomes more and more corrupt because no one is fighting crime.
Oh don't get it twisted, irl billionaires also attempt physical enhancement, just through things like surgery and drugs (ozempic for example), and maybe some cheetos colored bronzer.
Don't use Ozempic (type 2 diabetes regimen) or Wegovy (weightloss) as a scapegoat for these guys. GLP1s are lifesaving, and do pretty much the same thing people use to have to get surgery to overcome. Plus the side effects aren't exactly "billionaire friendly." It physically limits the amount of things people are used to enjoy.
Instead billionaires typically stock up on amphetamines or cocaine. Those kill the appetite and put em in a good mood
Hence why Trump clearly hasnt used any of the above.
I won't deny that ozempic has its valid uses. It's just the first one that popped into my head as something "noticeably physically enhancing" that I've heard billionaires use. I'm not sure what the line is for drugs to be considered physically enhancing, but if we only cared about drugs in general, then there's a lot, like ketamine elon.
