By founding @FedEx, Fred Smith revolutionized shipping and transformed Memphis into the logistics hub of America.

Today, Memphis International Airport was renamed in his honor, and it was truly special to be there with Raj Subramaniam to celebrate Fred’s incredible legacy.

@jayCthebull JC! I appreciate the rage bait effort but sadly, you’re just a @willgtg901 wannabe. Better luck in Fort Worth in March!

- Your Billionaire Daddy

[Frederick W. Smith @NILMaster901]

@bigmikestone69 Stop tweeting at me! The answer is no - I’m not using a single penny of my $6.2 Billion to bail you out of jail. Maybe stay away from those kids. #GTG

[Frederick W. Smith @NILMaster901]

@jayCthebull @kendricdavisfan @Maccneal @MeanGreenFB JC! I’m not sure what’s worse, you glazing a player who left your trash team or the fact that @MeanGreenMBB only has one tournament win ever.

Suck my billionaire dick,
Fred

[Frederick W. Smith @NILMaster901]

@jayCthebull @kendricdavisfan @Maccneal JC! The only thing broke is Aaron Scott’s jumper. Good luck in the rest of your non-con schedule against *asks my assistant* App State and Houston Bible College. On the bright side, maybe @MeanGreenFB can beat a +10 spread and make it above .500 this year.

Best,
Fred

@jayCthebull @kendricdavisfan @Maccneal Don’t ever call #TigerInitiative broke again you femboy! #GTG
