Case study in money not buying happiness. Richest man in the world by a wide margin. CONSTANTLY whining and crying about something.
If I had even a billion dollars y’all would never catch my ass on social media on in the public eye at all.
If I got a billion dollars I would disappear so thoroughly people would think I’m dead.
Life is short as fuck. But getting all the money you need to live a happy, healthy, long life is as good as it can possibly get on earth. You did it, you won. You can either use it to make people happy or you can just disappear and try to enjoy the brief time you have left.
I don’t get the motivation, desire and energy to do these massive public campaigns that focus the entire world’s population on you every single day. It doesn’t help anything or anyone and just causes stress. What is the purpose? It has to be some kind of delusion or mania, something gone wrong.
He didn’t just get a billion dollars though, its just unrealized gains in stocks, and those stocks represent his influence/control in the company.
If you helped build a company, and were passionate about it, you’d give that all up? If your vision was to build XYZ and you gave up those shares and you knew XYZ wouldn’t happen anymore, would you give that all up?
He DID get 300 million dollars from PayPal, and he decided to fund Tesla and build SpaceX and almost lost it all. Was it wrong of him to use all his money to try and build something? (He actually didn’t want to build SpaceX but no one wanted to do the inspiration project sending a plant or something to Mars he wanted to do)
We need a way to separate the stock value/holdings from company ownership/influence when companies get this big.
That and not having a working dick.
I’m happy to push anti Elon musk propaganda. I actually don’t, I just do anti trump/Republican propaganda
And yet not once did he apologize for that Nazi salute and explain how horrified he was that he accidentally did it.
Talk is just talk. What you DO is what you get called out on. Loser
I mean he’s not wrong about the first part. But as for the second part, the Nazi stuff and lack of anything positive is more cause than effect. Third part depends on the eye of the beholder.
The first man to unite the left on anything.
Fake nazi stuff?
Yeah, because supporting and claiming the AFD is Germany’s only hope (Germany’s Nazi Party, which is not called Nazi Party because that would be illegal in Germany) is exactly what a none Nazi would do!
i was confused as well, i only know the real nazi stuff
Positive?
Anything?
“Lugenpresse”
Uh huh. Fucking Nazi.
wow been a while since this
There’s nothing fake about a public Seig heil x2
If people were truly trying to destroy his influence, he wouldn’t be around for much longer.
Says the one actually doing a whole nazi salute, buying presidency despite not being able to hold office due to nationality, carving up entire programs and departments in a very incompetent way, and attempting to shamelessly buy a seat in the supreme court.
And that’s not mentioning how I personally believe he may be doing all this due to his God-Iron-Man-Savior complex which makes him believe he’ll be remembered as a modern messiah. Notice how he’s revived his desire to put mankind on Mars, and by next year no less. He knows under current laws he’d at best help pave the way to Mars, but not live to enjoy it himself. “Maybe if I change the whole rulebook - in the end despite the suffering they’ll thank and revere me”, I bet.
Poor Elon. I bet he’s crying right now for being a misjudged angel, drying his tears in green paper.
He is named Elon after a character in a novel by Wernher von Braun. The boy had no chance.
How was Errol Musk aware of the book (in 1970 something) if it was unpublished until 2006 ? (According to the wiki link below) ?
Were they doing nazi catch ups with Von Braun in the 60s or something ?
Maybe because of the excerpts that were published in the 1950s?
Says the one actually doing a whole nazi salute
Two whole Nazi salutes.
He’s so sad, it’s kinda remarkable. He’s like the epitome of a narcissistic billionaire CEO.
The insecurity is palpable. I sincerely hope this will be remembered and studied.
Musk is that kid in middle school who went out of his way to act smug and edgy in a desperate attempt to impress the other kids but it was all so cringey and irritating that it just made everyone hate him, but he was so dysfunctional that all he could do was try even harder to be smug and edgy, which just made the other kids hate him even more, and 'round and 'round it went until finally somebody decked him and then his mom complained to the administration because the other kids were bullying her baby.
You’re make this sound like it’s a metaphor or something…
But Musk is that kid literally, and last year one of the other billionaires did try to fight him for being unbearable until his mom literally stepped in and helped him back out
He’s a rich manchild who people put up with when he let them play with his cool toys. Then he went from the weird rich kid to a total asshole the second he thought this was loyalty… Now he’s crying about being bullied because everyone is turning against him, despite continuing to fuck absolutely everyone over
If I were the richest man on earth, I don’t know what kind of person I would be, but I sure as hell wouldn’t be a whiny little fuck
And that’s why you’d never be the richest person. Think about the qualities that lead one to become the richest person on earth. Really think about what that title represents. It’s an unfathomable amount of wealth. Any sane, compassionate person would have funneled that into charity work and the well-being of others.
You see what I’m getting at?
Or they’d invest, retiring while traveling and living off the dividends. It’s a sickness.
If you’re rich you can both invest, retire, travel, live off dividends AND donate your money and support the well being of others.
You can do that with like, 10 million usd or even less (1% yearly interest means 100k usd a year), and still have money left over to donate
Musk has about 30 000x that
Nah, that’s bullshit. You’re no fucking saint. The problem with billionaires is you cant possibly live a normal life once you get there. That kind of power corrupts your thoughts, actions, and importantly the way every single person you ever interact with behaves.
If you become a billionaire I’m coming for you.
