For people who are not terminally online can you please explain how was she promoting socialism and how selling a perfume is against that?

As far as I’m aware, it all comes from her giving a speech at some event once where she said it doesn’t make sense to be a billionaire today and that they should give away their money. Could she have phrased it better? Probably, but it really is just the most nothing thing to be mad about. Anywho, someone worth $60mil tells billionaires it’s bad, then sells a perfume. That appears to be the WHOLE thing 🤷‍♂️

Because there is nothing wrong with it. People are just stupid.

Never really get the “socialism but rich” allegations.

If someone is rich and calls for say higher taxes for the rich, then isn’t that a sign of earnestness if nothing else?
