Nine out of ten people with enough money and power to steer the system to massively favour them think that things are perfectly fine as they are. Now carry on, peon.

Well if it isn't the best system why is it the system we have? Survival of the fittest, duh!
Be the change you want to see! Load up on cold cathode tubes and shove them in your PC or wherever else you can think of!

As long as a single human being is homeless or hungry, billionaires should not exist.
Billionaires shouldn't exist. Period.
Technicaly That is very dependent on the value of currency current or future one
I guess it could be said that the sort of wealth disparity that we have shouldn't exist

So we're going to support a democratic system to tax people and service the underprivileged, right?
We're going to do that, right?
No objections here
Sounds good to me
We got all the dystopia and none of the cool futuretech.
Exactly. I would like cybernetic arms and legs and eyes that let me scan everything. But instead we get the most boring dystopia.
Low latency cell phone coverage anywhere on the planet using LEO satellites is undeniably cool future tech.
I would like this but also have those phones have a no logs policy so they cannot be used to track you or figure out where you were previously, at least without your consent.
No, see, I made all my money by inheriting it, and because I'm rich and wealthy that means that god must love me, and therefore I must be a good person inherently. People are poor because god doesn't love them, therefore they must be bad people. Duh. /s

The real question is how do you define best system. I bet those billionaires think this is in fact a pretty good system. Though they are probably never satisfied, so they wouldn't say best until they could snap thier fingers and a million people would start working to make whatever idea popped into thier head happen.
Gatcha addicts.
All of them. Gambling addicts addicted to watching numbers grow.

The plan is going well. Now all we gotta do is convince all those sonobabiches to get on a Tesla rocket to Mars. As soon as that shit is outta here, we cut off communication and problem solved.
I do somewhat disagree with this. Don't get me wrong, I'm very much on the eat the rich train. But, while not due to elons personal "brilliance" space x has cut the cost of going to space by a huge amount. And so many amazing things have come out of the space program
Sure, if by "Elon's brilliance" you mean decades of Congress forcing NASA to outsource plus a whole lot of engineers none of whom are also CEO
while not due to elons personal “brilliance”
Why can't we do both? How many billionaires are there? How many of them have their own space company? I'm no mathologist but something doesn't add up.
