    Elon Musk has been loudly criticizing the DOJ and FBI over their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, calling out what he sees as a disgraceful failure to hold powerful figures accountable. He presents himself as an outsider raging against the elite, demanding justice and transparency from the very institutions he claims are protecting predators. But there's a glaring contradiction that undercuts this entire performance: Musk himself once sat down at the same table as Jeffrey Epstein. At a private billionaire's dinner, years after Epstein's 2008 conviction was public knowledge, Musk broke bread with a man already known to be a convicted sex offender—making his current outrage feel more like calculated damage control than genuine moral concern.The hypocrisy is almost unbearable. You don't get to dine with a monster, stay silent for over a decade, and then pretend to be the loudest voice in the room demanding accountability. Musk's selective outrage reeks of self-preservation, not justice. He wasn't just in the same room—he was a participant in the same closed-door culture of wealth, access, and impunity that allowed Epstein to thrive. And now, as public pressure mounts, he wants to rewrite the past, cast himself as a truth-teller, and hope no one remembers where he was when it mattered. But history has receipts—and the dinner napkin still has his name on it.Elon Musk isn't the only one feigning moral outrage about Jeffrey Epstein while conveniently forgetting the dinner table they once shared. In 2011, at a private billionaires' dinner during a TED conference, Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin, and other tech titans sat shoulder to shoulder with Epstein—a man already convicted of soliciting sex from a minor. These weren't ignorant bystanders. Epstein's name was radioactive by then, his crimes well documented. Yet these men, who now pretend to be disgusted by the cover-up, saw no issue sharing wine and strategy with him over filet mignon and handshakes. It was a who's who of unchecked power pretending Epstein was just another quirky financier with connections.Fast-forward to now, and the same billionaires want to position themselves as the public's moral compass—demanding justice, accountability, and answers from the government while playing dumb about their own proximity to the rot. Musk rails against the DOJ, Bezos hides behind silence, and the rest of them act like their invitations got lost in the mail. But this wasn't some accident. They sat there. They talked. They mingled. And they helped normalize a predator. These men didn't just witness the corruption—they were part of the network that allowed it to keep operating in plain sight.

    Billionaires are an ultra-elite social class whose numbers are growing alongside their obscene wealth while others struggle, suffer or even die. They represent a scourge of economic inequality, but how do they get away with it? A set of dangerous and deceptive inter-connected myths portrays them as a ‘force for good': -the ‘heroic billionaire' asserts they are gallant protagonists of the American Dream gone global -the ‘generous billionaire' pretends that their philanthropic efforts and personal good deeds should be lauded for generosity and benevolence -the ‘meritorious billionaire' insists that extreme wealth is a worthy reward for individual hard work and talent -the ‘vigilante billionaire' claims to be able to solve the world's biggest problems where bureaucrats and politicians have failed. Each of these myths enables billionaire wealth and power to set us back to old-style feudalism and plutocracy. Offering a trenchant critique, Stinking Rich: The Four Myths of the Good Billionaire (Policy Press, 2025)testifies to the growing international political will to take concrete actions in supporting economic justice and democratic equality. Carl Rhodes is Professor of Organization Studies at the University of Technology Sydney. He researches the ethical and democratic dimensions of business and work. Carl regularly writes for the mainstream and independent press on issues related to ethics, politics and the economy.

    What does it take to design for billionaire homeowners, celebrities like David Goggins, and NFL owners—while staying grounded in soul and intention? For interior designer Nour El Nasrani, it's about more than pretty spaces. It's about feeling. The Lebanese-born, Vegas-based founder of By Nour Design joins Danielle to share how she built a luxury design business from scratch, the spiritual side of design, and what our homes secretly say about us.  Nour shares: How she landed her first client. The unlikely moment that changed her career—and made her fire her own boss What it was really like designing for Navy SEAL David Goggins The unexpected trait she uses to win over high-powered clients (hint: it's not her design degree) Why she never starts with a Pinterest or style board—and the questions she asks instead He 5 rules for making any room look expensive (without spending a fortune) The #1 mistake people make when designing a room (you're probably doing it) How to create a home that actually helps you de-stress Why mood matters more than trend Thee rule she breaks in every room she designs How she transformed Danielle's apartment + what the inspiration was behind it!

Let's be real. The fact that people think they're entitled to comment, criticize, or even dictate how someone else—who's earned their wealth—uses it, says more about them than it does about Bezos. It exposes the scarcity mindset that's been normalized in society. The jealousy. The entitlement. The belief that someone else's success needs to be explained, justified, or made more “relatable.” But wealth doesn't require permission. Freedom doesn't come with an apology. And judging how others celebrate what they've built only highlights your own resistance to what's possible for you. This episode is a wake-up call to stop projecting limitations onto others and start checking where you might be holding yourself back from abundance. Because the truth is—when you're triggered by someone else's wealth, it's not about them... it's about where you've stopped believing in what's available to you.

    In this episode, I'm diving deep into why most people stay stuck—foggy about their goals, unclear on their direction, and spinning their wheels doing “work” that doesn't actually move the needle. I'll break down how to take control of your life by getting radically honest about what you don't want, why intentionality matters more than hustle, and how community, clarity, and reflection will change the game. You don't need another to-do list—you need a vision. One that's backed by strategic action, daily accountability, and a burning desire to make the next 365 days count. We'll talk about reflection, dreaming bigger, building with purpose, and the real cost of winging it. Show highlights include: Why understanding what you don't want creates clarity [03:53] The power of intentionality and why it beats busyness [05:50] Reflecting on your past year to uncover blind spots [07:16] How to hold yourself accountable and actually follow through [10:41] Why community accelerates your personal and business growth [12:08] Dreaming bigger and setting bold, aligned goals [15:00] The truth: Hard work without a plan is a trap [17:56] How to change your life in the next 365 days [18:35] Welcome to *The Making of a DM Podcast*, where real estate, entrepreneurship, and deal making collide.

    John D Rockefeller built his fortune refining oil and founding Standard Oil. A pioneer of the U.S. business trust, he helped shape the structure of the modern corporation. His influence lives on in companies like Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips, and in institutions like the Rockefeller Foundation. But not everyone saw him as a visionary. President Theodore Roosevelt branded the Rockefeller family a “malefactor of great wealth,” and Rockefeller's monopoly helped spark America's first antitrust laws. To some, he was a ruthless robber baron; to others, a generous philanthropist who gave away over $500 million. BBC business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng unpack the contradictions of Rockefeller's empire. Can great giving make up for great power?Good Bad Billionaire is the podcast exploring the lives of the super-rich and famous, tracking their wealth, philanthropy, business ethics and success. There are leaders who made their money in Silicon Valley, on Wall Street and in high street fashion. From iconic celebrities and CEOs to titans of technology, the podcast unravels tales of fortune, power, economics, ambition and moral responsibility, before inviting you to make up your own mind: are they good, bad or just another billionaire?
