As Elon Musk closes in on becoming the world's first trillionaire, wealth has drifted so far out of reach that Americans can't fight it the normal way, so they've started to troll it. A mayor announced a tax from the sidewalk outside a billionaire's $238 million penthouse. A movie star walked the Met Gala in a gown titled "The One Percent." On May Day, three thousand protests marched under one banner: "Workers Over Billionaires." Trolling is what you do when the thing you resent feels too big to touch and too far to reach. 71% of Gen Z now want a legal cap on how rich a person can get. John and Libby unpack Billionaire Backlash and what it means for every brand still selling status.
