Ed has a reported net worth of 300 million dollars. Hes a 1/3rd billionaire.
He can do a lot fucking more than youre giving him credit for, including canceling a tour because he opposes genocide while standing up for freedom for artists to speak truth to power. The blowback would have been 99% focused on the billionaire genocide supporters, who likely would have folded or at least made PR based concessions.
He did none of these things but claim to be apolitcal when he is not, and pretend he was powerless as someone who has “superyaught” money.
What about the 80,000 dead Palestinians? The 20,000 dead Palenstian children that Israel is still slaughtering?
Dude has an estimated $300 million to his name. If he gave a shit, he could pay all of their salaries out of pocket for the whole tour and not even feel it, while still standing agasint a genocide. That would be a huge, double whammy PR boost for him, cementing him forever as the best fucking guy in showbiz.
I bet it wouldn’t even cost 10 million, leaving him $290 million to buy villas and superyaughts with until a few months passes, when he would have $300 million again from the interest alone.
