It reaches the point now where the fourth richest man on the world, you know, feels like he needs to go on f***ing YouTube and chat a load of bulls*** to fight people like us.

Stop you from getting your fair share of the pie.
And there's this famous quote, which is probably not a real quote, which is, first they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you.
