The artist is clearly a fan of the billionaires comparing them with Picasso and Warhol.

He was a the biggest winner out of NFTs that I know of.

not necessarily

Beeple commented that “in the past, our worldview was shaped by artists” such as Picasso and Warhol. “But increasingly, our view of the world is being shaped by tech billionaires,” he continued. “Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk control very powerful algorithms that shape what we see and what we don’t see.”

they don't have to shape it in a good way to shape our contemporary records

whereas picasso shaped the world in awe and warhol in consumerism, zuckerberg literally does it into consumerism

because they shit pictures that they take. A turd can't shit another turd.

Counterpoint: everything that comes out of shit is also shit

I get where you're coming from, and I whole heartedly agree, but a shit still can't take a shit. If you take a shit, and do anything to take something out of it, you will have shit, but it's not taking a shit.

A dog can take a shit.
