    “One day a man invited him into a richly furnished house, saying ‘be careful not to spit on the floor.’ Diogenes, who needed to spit, spat in his face, exclaiming that it was the only dirty place he could find where spitting was permitted.”

    I’d ask him how his values were so easily changed by a comedian and his roving troupe of rude boys.

    I would literally pretend I had absolutely no clue who he was or any familiarity with any of his “achievements” or why they’re “important”. It would be pretty funny to see him try to respond to that.

    You’ve gone from being perceived as an inspiring intelligent neurodiverse outsider, to an evil good for nothing oligarch. Can you imagine what the impact would be if you would announce tomorrow, that you would give all or most of your shares to the employees that work for your companies, and you would state to the world that having (hecto)billionaires is dangerous and immoral, and that being one you experienced first hand that it is psychologically harmful, that you lost sense of who you were, but now want to return to your innocence.

    “Excuse me?”

    “So, Bezos was right?”

    “Now listen here you little shit…”

    “Can I have a dollar?”

    If he says yes, and give me a dollar, I’d wait for him to put his wallet away and then ask,

    “Can I have another dollar?”

    And then do this on repeat until he stops.

    “Trump surrounds himself with Yes Men who constantly just kiss his ass… Is that why you two get along so well?”

    Or on a more realistic note I’d ask him about climate change and try to understand what twisted logic he’s using to justify his actions.

    The only question I’d have for someone like him is.

    “Do you think even the worst person can change…? That everybody can be a good person, if they just try?” And then I’d try my hand at fighting him after I got through the Sans Undertale speech.

    I would ask him who he is. Then when he gets upset that I don’t recognize him and he gives me his name I say “hmmm, never heard of you.”

    Watch is ego implode.
