Before you try to question me, check your bank balance: Waqar Zaka
Waqar Zaka, the self-anointed poster child for crypto and divisive opinions would like you to check your bank balance before you try to point fingers at him. If you aren’t entirely sure how having an opinion about Zaka’s antics has anything to do with the amount of cash in your arsenal, rest assured, you are not alone.
In a recent tweet, Zaka shared that he would never point fingers at or question the actions of Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, since his pockets aren’t as heavy as Musk’s. In the same vein, he has asked his followers to back off until they have enough money, and speak up against him only when they can match Zaka’s financial status.
“At this stage, I’m not in a position to question @elonmusk till I reach to his level of bank balance and match his level of contribution for humanity, so before you try to question Waqar Zaka, check ur bank balance,” tweeted the TV show host turned influencer turned politician turned… crypto enthusiast?

While Zaka’s underlying claim of direct proportionality between the money in a person’s bank account and their service towards humanity may quite easily fall apart after a few quick google searches, with billionaires not always being the most charitable people out there, his comments implying that individuals from lower and middle-income backgrounds should not have an opinion have irked more than a few Twitter users.
One user told him that according to Zaka’s logic, no one should be allowed to question corrupt officials with fat pockets. “After all that mess u came up with this excuse that our bank balance isn’t enough to question u. At least give the proper example if u want to bail and don’t want to get blame for messes. That way we aren’t in the position to question corrupt leaders because of their bank balance (it’s our money tho),” one user tweeted.
