    Everyone replying to you is saying he is essentially a troll but imo it’s him affirming a narrative that benefits him.

    He was born rich and then became a billionaire (and still would claim being self made). He truly believes some people are born better. That’s actually a core tenant of conservative ideology and the justification for social hierarchy that they support.

    When you believe some people are born better, and that the market decides who has what it takes, then minorities over represented in poverty must mean that some races are born better/worse.

    It’s basically social Darwinism and it benefits him if people believe that rich and successful people are better and thereby should be rewarded with more power. That is the benefit, the racism just part of the package deal.
