It won’t matter to him. The amount of money he spent could do appreciable good for regular people. For him it’s an “oh well”.

You are deriving joy from his imagined anguish. He doesn’t give a fuck.

    He doesn’t give a fuck.

    He'll give a fuck when DOGE and SpaceX and Starlink are investigated.

    I don't think they're going to find as much as you think around SpaceX. There are some questionable things he's done with Starlink, but as long as he didn't alter Starshield in Ukraine, SpaceX can mostly do whatever SpaceX wants with Starlink. With regards to Starshield, right now Trump and Musk are pointing the finger at each other but we haven't gotten a real answer. It would be profoundly dumb of Musk though if he altered Starshield without being told to do it.

    SpaceX is also able to offer incredibly competitive bids for contract work, that them winning a lot of things isn't really surprising, and would be pretty defendable.

    DOGE on the other hand he'll be fucked.

    Fuck his feelings. It feels good to me too think about him wasting his money. Half a billion isn't "oh well" money to anyone, no matter how rich.

    people really don't get extreme wealth. this is like 45 bucks being spent by the median american.

    Median Americans don't tweet obsessively about their Outback Steakhouse dinner for 18 months, either. The money is probably the least painful thing here, but you've got to concede that Musk wanted something to happen, did everything he could to get it, and still lost it. That hurts in a way completely separate from wealth.
