    There might literally not be one single person on the planet less qualified to speak to the issue of "reasonable spending" than the guy who spent $44 billion dollars to make everybody hate Twitter.

      He also took billions in government subsidies and ordered the construction of a car tunnel with LED lights and zero safety measures. That one was a success for its intended purposes, however; it prevented the construction of mass transit rail in California.

        I think he made that up after the fact once it became abundantly clear how dumb hyperloop was. US states, generally, don't need the help of a billionaire to stay car-brained public transport deniers.

          He never wanted improved mass transit in California, so even if he bumblefucked into that outcome, it's still serendipity for him.

        Ehh, everybody already hated it before but they hated it while using it.

        He made everybody hate it in a way that was different enough to actually kill it (slowly). It's already the same as seeing a greentext to most people at this point.

            That's a good point even the worst of the worst on 4chan would never in a million years pay for the service.

            People paying a monyhly fee for their internet dunce cap is keeping the service aflot, which shouldn't be an effective business model but here we are.

              there were always tripcode users (basically verified users even though it wasn't really verifiable) on 4chan, they posted the most cringe things and were hated by everyone, so pretty much the same as blue-checks. Q of Qanon fame was one of those.

    That guy could like pay for people to crew tall ships and sail around doing mock pirate battles and treasure hunts or whatever fantasy he wanted to live out.

    And he chooses to do this.

        He could build a Martian colony set and probably enough dorks would volunteer to larp worship of God-king musk of the funniest memes.

        The guy has a terminal lack of imagination.

          His imagination is so vast and profound that he once posted a picture of his future vision for his fantastical Martian colony.

          It was a picture of a many-laned highway with cars on it. With a red filter. grillman

      And before this stunt, he was re-tweeting (or should I say, "re-Xitting") Pepe frog Frenworld memes. He literally reposted plagiarized Frenworld content, just like an incel basement dweller.

      At this moment, he is euphoric. Not because of DEI woke mind viruses, but because he has brought the light of consciousness to the stars.

          Now that is a deep (state) cut.

          where did the 17 thing come from?

          I was just relistening to some old QAA episodes where they talked about the return of Q and the 17 thing and I still don't get it

            Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet. The 17th president was Andrew Johnson. Andrew Johnson is still alive and he is Q. QED.

    I guess you could argue about all that in 2016, but we've seen what he did and what he's willing to do now, to be pretty fucking certain none of these things will ever happen under a republican president, and even less so under another Trump presidency.

      Only the democrats have the know-how to protect their “nation of immigrants” from being invaded by hordes of immigrants while not changing the imperialist policies that cause mass immigration in the first place! Kamala is brat and girlboss and republicans could never do genocide as good as her.
