Maybe he would be more popular if he used his money and influence to create a better world. Say what you want about Gates, but that foundation of him and his wife saved tens of millions of lifes. It seems like Musk isn’t even trying to create the illusion of using his money for the benefit of society.
I have a lot to say about Gates. He realized that he was an evil POS and decided to create his own foundation to push his own views on various things around the world. His work had some positive effects, some negative effects, and if he actually valued human life, he would have campaigned to raise taxes on the ultra-rich or paid his workers more.
Let’s not pretend Bill has much humanity in him. He’s almost as bad as Elon. That’s better than nothing, for sure.
I’m not going to try to defend his more heinous actions, neither the ones early in his career nor the ones that came later in life, but it did truly feel like their foundation and what they did with it was more of a “we have the time and the money so why not do something positive and get good PR at the same time?” kind of thing.
He’s certainly saved more lives than Musk, Thiel, Altman et al. have, put together. By far.
I still find it funny that he actually thought he could get drumpf to do something altruistic, though. That shit was both funny and sad at the same time.
His foundation pushed back against covid vaccines being open so poorer countries could afford them because he insists that someone needs to profit from shit his foundation does. It was like a continuation of his opposition to open source software (that he leaned on to develop the things that made Microsoft and then immediately hated because they were still free for others when he wanted to pull the ladder up). His foundation also tends to dominate charities it deals with because the surge of money makes them expand and then they can’t afford to lose it.
Mixed bag.
A mixed bag is still better than the other sacks of shit, but I’m not going to waste any more time trying to defend him than this either. He’s still a piece of shit.
Why not both?
Not isn’t, but what a great idea! Thanks fElon!
Melanie is correct and fuck Leon Hitler. The asswipe neo-Nazi should be deported and stripped of US and Canadian citizenships.
Remember that he’s admitting that people want to kill him. Also remember that right after he did the Nazi Salute on live television, he was suddenly carrying his son around everywhere. A son, that by all accounts, he didn’t seem to give too much of a shit about beforehand. He was using that kid as a human shield, folks. Most people wont shoot at a man holding a kid and he knew it.
Elon is the richest human to ever live. His net worth surpasses that of some countries. He’s trying to defend Nazi like actions (including the Nazi saute) to strangers on the Internet. He could do so much good in this world, but instead he’s a piece of shit.
Hell, he’s got enough money to be Batman or Tony Stark at this point.
Wow this is a dark fucking “every accusation is an admission”.
I was pretty sure elon has been trying to call hits on people through Twitter… this clinched it.
Thankfully he’s such a fucking loser nobody has taken him up on it. Real “boy i just wanna rock out at one of your sick parties what days are your best parties I’d really love to come on the day of your wildest party” energy.
LIQUIDATE MUSK
(Financially, in Minecraft)
More effective in real life.
Don’t forget the mom and dad that also seem weirdly Nazi themed.
His dad is a freak. He married his own step daughter.
And his falling out with his father may had been because he wanted to marry his step sister instead.
Team ‘both’ checking in.
If you decide to act like a Nazi, you should die like a Nazi.
…and if you’re a trillionaire, you should die ASAP even if you act like Mr. Rogers - sorry duder but humanity cannot afford you.
If you decide to act like a Nazi, you should die like a Nazi.
To die on June 16, 1977 of pancreatic cancer in Alexandria, Virginia?
I’d prefer something more immediate, but beggars can’t be choosers.
If someone had given Mr. Rogers a trillion dollars we’d be living in that “the future if ****” meme right now.
I like to think of someone have a trillion dollars to Mr. Rogers he would have been a trillionaire for like a day, losing the title almost immediately as he redistributed it appropriately.
I imagine figuring out where to put the money and actually moving those amounts would take significantly longer, but… Yeah.
He’d end child hunger first
With a trillion? He could end all hunger, child or adult, and it would barely register on the mass of money involved.
No, the reason I encourage people to murder him is because he’s a nazi.
He could quickly end this constant fear by lowering his net worth to a human-scale level with no practical impact to his lifestyle.
Just do literally anything besides be a gigantic asshole with all his wealth. He couldn’t even manage to help save those kids in that cave without being a fucking dick about it. Dude needs to stfu and go to therapy.
Also he didn’t save those kids in that cave and, indeed, his proposed solution would likely have wound up in their deaths.
So he reacted like any sane, normal, well-adjusted human would: he called the guy who actually did the saving a pedo.
Can’t it be both?
Wouldn’t you worry using X for this kind of post, it would be shadow modded or its visibility heavily reduced by the algorithms?
Are you saying Melon Husk should be worried using X?
What algorithm exactly? This ain’t reddit
What are you talking about
“how is it that the world’s richest man is also the world’s biggest loser?”
