    Yep. There was probably like a month of his daddy not being able to send money because of opening a bank account after moving or something, which is why he is now larping as "i was so poor"

    Here's the thing: obscenely rich people can say whatever and literally everyone will believe it because the average human thinks "he has lots of money therefore he is smart and worked his way up and if I use this as a judge of his character then he is unlikely to lie"

    It's a huge cultural issue that pervades everything, money is not virtue.

    It's classic circular reasoning.

    "He's so rich because he's hard working and smart."

    "How do you know he's so hard working?"

    "Because lazy and dumb people don't get rich, duh."

    To many, rich parents, dumb luck, lack or morals and a huge pile of debt don't play a role.

    Nah, that's not how it works. People believe it because they can pay people to repeat their lies, and their success buys them a seat in main-stream media interviews where they can broadcast their bullshit to millions of people. And in Musk's case, he can just buy a social media company and force it to boost his excreta.

    Dude, Epstein himself was about to release an "interview" where he's this approachable cool guy and he's just eccentric. I bet you it would have worked if released as planned.

    Yes there are bot accounts pushing narratives but that doesn't stop people from going "whoa everyone must be wrong about him"

    I tell you what, I'm a conspiracy theorist but mostly because I've seen proof of conspiracy.

    There's this reporter Ross Coulthart who investigates the UFO stuff people talk about recently. He mentioned the GATE program trying to find psychic children. It reminded me of my parents putting me in the GATE program then some weird fucking psychic tests they did on me.

    Look into Joe McMoneagle, some remote viewer they used in the army's Stargate program. People say it was all made up to trick the USSR but if you read the freedom of information act docs they released on it, it's clear as day they believed in what they were doing. And McMoneagle wrote books on the subject.

    Literally the US government does weird shit like that. Life is stranger than fiction.

    Does Musk really want to bring up his apparently illegal activities in that era considering the current ICE climate regarding those who have a history of immigration violations?

    Atlanta immigration attorney Charles Kuck says Musk stating that he had a J-1 visa makes it clear he worked illegally, given the restrictions that would have only allowed work in connection with his academic program.

    “So clearly, he’s admitting now that in fact, he did work illegally and violate his status. The only question is at that point, what did he do to fix his status violation?” Kuck says.

    Imagine ICE grabbing Musk and treating him like they treat anyone else and then deporting him to some random African nation with a history of enslaving people.

    He can buy and sell the agency multiple times. Milo got deported because despite being loud, he probably has pretty average savings. We've seen right-wing sorts get bludgeoned by the leopard hammer. None of them have been extremely wealthy. It won't happen.

    You're right, of course, but don't interrupt my fantasy. And let's be honest, he couldn't buy or sell anything if ICE grabbed him, sent him to a shit-hole facility in some random state and refused to allow him access to a phone to call anyone. Damn... I'm getting close.

    Even if deported, he has the money to live comfortably, he would likely either come back illegally anyway as a point, or move to another country and do his proceedings there. Him being deported wouldn't remove his ties, or companies at all, as those don't need US citizenship or anything. The only thing actually deporting him will do is but a blemish on him, and make a rich a-hole want to do everything he can to make the person who caused it regret it.

    In the case of Musk, it would likely cause a massive political campaign fund for the either the direct opposing party or more realistically whoever runs for his party that the current administration does not advocate for.

    The outcome is the same though, which is why I see no world where they actually try this.

    I'm jealous because my language doesn't have definite articles like the or der. Actually we don't have indefinite articles either. We lack articles, sex and future.

    I can just say "see on nali" which is more just "das ist Witz". Is it a joke? Is it the joke? Nobody knows! But generally it's understood that by default everything is indefinite.

    That is untrue, we all know musk was a emarald mine inheritor. But truth means mothing.

    That's like saying the Mara sisters were a true rags to riches story for their rise in Hollywood.

    It's not rags to riches when even your early roles had lines in your contract where you were exempt from filming on days where the Giants or Steelers has playoff/super bowl games since your wealthy family owned 2 NFL teams.

    He's a disinformation agent. Enough of what he says is logical, so that when he spews bullshit, people either believe the bullshit too, or disregard everything that has ever and will ever come out of his mouth. I'm on Team B.

    Oh I mean yeah, his... if you try to take him seriously, you'll find that he doesn't exactly have a well evidenced, coherent world view... being extremely charitable here lol.

    He makes a massive amount of logical leaps to conclusions that basically just fit into something approximating a narrative that allows him to be a kind of truth messiah.

    Some of what he says, yeah, actually touches on real things, but he's basically British Alex Jones as a mystic... does the same kind of ... no actual due diligence, spins things off into a wild conclusion that basically just 'feels right' to them, which often involves essentially inventing or fabricating the linkages between ideas and concepts, which do not actually exist in reality... but everything is stated or implied with the same amount of certainty and conviction.

    Hell, I remember when they both used to collab often, back in the 00's back before I realized they were both considerably more wrong than right.

    When one is raised in an extremely / fanatically religious environment, one is taught cognitive dissonance, its internalized.

    Took me a great deal of effort to fully deconvert myself from that, but starting out raised as basically a religious nutjob makes one very, very prone to conspiricism in trying to understsnd politics and broader society.

    I mean his Twitter post up there is straightforward enough. But I honestly don't think that he believes everything he says about everything he says. He does spew a lot of bullshit. And I think he knows it. That's what a disinformation agent is. A celebrity designated to speak about sensationalized topics which grab everyone's interest & attention, then he throws in an occasional WTF curveball, keeping everyone busy trying to figure it out, meanwhile the government is doing all their weird corrupt shenanigans and nobody notices because everyone's trying to figure out the last weird thing David icke said.

    And then depended on socialized system to support him while he used it to advance himself.

    “Self made” is bullshit.

    There probably hasn’t been a real self-made wealthy person in a century.

    Everyone got some kind of assistance. Whether it be the public schools, parent’s money, or loans, they all got a hand up and in the case of parental wealth they got a handout.

    People constantly dismiss the social system that propped them up with schools, libraries, free or reduced cost school lunches, government grants, scholarships, or even a GI Bill as soon as they get rich they “did it all themselves.”

    Isn’t Icke the guy who had a nude photo of himself on the cover of one of his books? I have a bad memory of seeing it in a bookstore where someone had peeled off the censorship sticker. It’s funny that I still have more respect for Icke, even though Musk never made me have a peek at his pecker.

    when i came to america i only had 2k in my pocket. i rented a house in san francisco for 5k a month. it was the house used in the 'full house' exterior shots, and this was back in 1999 when the minimum wage was like 7.50. and you can trust me on that--i asked a guy who worked at safeway and he told me he made 7.50 and he didn't seem like the type to bullshit a brother.

    i met this guy named pete at the gay bar, somewhere close, but i don't remember excactly where it was; it was within walking distance because i loved to walk back then, it tightened the quads and relaxed my asshole. he was still doing that whole leather and chains thing that was popular in the 80s--maybe you've seen 'cruising' with al pachinko or seen the music video to YMCA--and we had this great idea: what if you could make instant payments online?

    i'd often have discreet hookups with 9"+ black bulls i met in the classified ads and feel cheap when i had to pay them in cash afterwards.

    what if there was a way to pay upfront--but in cyberspace to abstract the entire experience?

    but let's get back to pete. i'd often suck his dick and swallow his ENTIRE LOAD, and let me tell you it tasted like grandma's gravy on the best thanksgiving. after one of these meals we came up with the idea for paypal in our playful pillow talk. i told him how much i enjoyed his cock and he said to me 'i love my playpal,' and paypal was born, just like that, after we discussed the financials and the split for a few hours.

    we hired a couple of asian nerds to code up paypal after we enslaved them in our basement (they were on VISAs and we threatened to report them).

    we got all the money for this from our dads. but if you talk about this in media or wikipedia act like we worked minimum wage for a few to to fund it or just ignore these details. thanks.
