He's not a billionaire - I'm pretty sure he got X million, then decided that he had enough

He weighs in frequently on technology issues, his takes aren't always ideal, but he's a consistent advocate in an area he's qualified to have an opinion in. He also helped found the EFF

From Wikipedia:

Wozniak has discussed his personal disdain for money and accumulating large amounts of wealth. He told Fortune magazine in 2017, "I didn't want to be near money, because it could corrupt your values ... I really didn't want to be in that super 'more than you could ever need' category." He also said that he only invests in things "close to his heart". When Apple first went public in 1980, Wozniak offered $10 million of his own stock to early Apple employees, something Jobs refused to do.

You guys fall for these fucks like Bill Gates as well, who have more money than you and your next 10 generations will ever need, and you defend them, why? He can talk about how much he hates being rich, but he's still worth over 150 million cause he won't give it up.

He gives just enough to keep the wolves at bay. But he's just as bad as the rest.

Is having money a reason to attack a person?

Bill Gates? Fuck yes.

Woz is no fucking Gates.

So being Bill Gates is a reason to attack someone, as long as the person you’re attacking is Bill Gates?

Yes, if you see Bill Gates you should eat him. All billionaires gotta go.
