    Glass Onion is easy: annoying tech guy trope (musk, zuck, SBF)

    Loot is obviously a reference to Melinda Gates/whoever divorced lord-bezos-amused

    I’d say so much billionaire content because our society pays a lot of attention to billionaires. It’s not like we have Royals anymore. Wealth/power fantasies.

      Even in the fictional worlds, they make them about kings/emperors etc. (Game of Thrones etc.)

      I’d say so much billionaire content because our society pays a lot of attention to billionaires.
