      That's one of the things that bothers me most about him specifically. Like all billionaires are soulless ghouls that exist to suck the life out of the working class so they can live lives of unimaginable luxury, but at least they're using their place in the exploitive hierarchy of capital to do things most people can't even dream of.

      Musk is such a pathetic loser. If I had his resources there's no way in hell I would be wasting time posting online, let alone buying the website that I post on because I think they're "unfair" or whatever. He's been born into a life that kings and emperors throughout history would be envious of and he's doing this shit

        also hate that people think he's a smart person, coworker was reading his biography and i just told him about his dads emerald mine and that any rich piece of shit can pay a writer to write some fake dogshit to make them seem cool and interesting

      It would be one thing if he used that money to permanently solve problems. Let's take climate change: he's the EV guy so he could use some of his wealth to build a ton of solar and wind farms or at the very least keep his brand image in 2014 until now. He could have been hailed as a hero and had a ton of statues built in his honor, even if its for a selfish reason like both the glory and to "prove the left wrong" that the private sector can in fact be trusted to do the right thing.

      But no, he cares more about looking cool so any principles he had he has betrayed for the sake of blind conformity. Look at his recent efforts of him defending the oil industry, like....way to undersell your own EV company, I'll just stick to my Honda Civic TYVM. Did he get MK ultra'd or something?
