Elon Musk got me to stop using Twitter.

sicko-yes

What? They're greedy humans who are doing things that have terrible consequences out of selfishness, not mustache twirling cartoon villains out to destroy the world for destruction's sake. I'm sure every single billionaire in the world has done something good at some point.

lenin-sure

All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one. Romans 3:12

You're right. There's no billionaire who has done good. But there's also no human who has done good either.

Some sort of weird combination of "God and anime at my side" fundie weeb for that one, complete with a special level of pop nihilistic misanthropy that probably has Supply Side Jesus characteristics pathetic

Mark Cuban is a bit of a wall street asshole, but he’s created a drug company to slash the prices of generic drugs for Americans

Elon Musk. Without him, electric cars wouldn't be the almost-mainstream thing they are today. We also would be a decade behind on space launch.

bootlicker (WTF does "space launch" mean to that bazinga? Space was launched into generations ago. Unless this is some techbro hopium singularity babbling about THE MISSION (tm) which will be forever vague because it's just tweets from my-hero showing boomer highways on Mars)

      In the early Disney comics, Scrooge actively and directly exploited native peoples to loot their treasures, and they were portrayed as gross stereotypes. Not even anthropomorphic animal people. Just (slur) humans from Africa and the like. us-foreign-policy

        Damn, I didn't realize that. I guess he gets a public execution with the rest of them.

      He has to do a high dive into his pool of gold coins but using real world physics instead of cartoon logic.

      I was going to credit this but the creator's reddit acc is now deleted and I didn't remember their name. 😔 I'll link the post at least https://old.reddit.com/r/DuckistInternational/comments/hngzh1/first_welcome_to_the_duckist_international_where/

      Also while it seems maybe a bit sus Dickie is just the character's actual name.
