"The billionaires said I could be one of them if I let them live, so I sacrificed the biosphere." - Millions of morons

it's more horrifying than that. they're fine with the boot on their neck as long as they can keep their boot on someone else. they don't think they're temporarily embarassed millionaires. they think the rich deserve to be rich, and the suffering deserve to suffer, and they'll vote based on making sure the suffering continue to be in pain

The funny part is the billionaire never even whispered that. They just go to it instinctively like maggots to rancid meat.

It's kind of indirectly implied by what they say though. Think of the Elon Musk worship sphere, that basically argues if we just give him more money and vote for his politics, we're gonna have self-driving cars and travel to Mars whenever we want. Oh, and by the way, buy this cryptocurrency (that he happens to own a lot of) if you wanna profit from it all too. This can also be extended to other tech bros like Peter Thiel and Marc Andreesen.

Their wealth will trickle down and then we can save the environment! - Jordan Peterson (effectively)

Is wealth a euphemism for piss?

Might as well be.
