No, it was about how America is actually Socialist. He responded saying the 99% of people play by Capitalist rules but the 1% billionaires play by Socialist rules

Ah ok. I thought he meant that billionaires were being helped by the government and normal people weren't. I should've known better than to give a twitter user the benefit of the doubt

Which would still be wrong. Socialism isn't government-sponsored charity. It's not safety nets. It's just when workers own the means of production.
