But I thought he was a genius. 😥

America doesn’t deserve him. He should return to South Africa.

    Yeah but didn't he spend at like... A lot of fucked party's? That agree with his stuff anyway? So like, the money is all still on that fucked circle

    And what exactly has he lost, though?

    Hmmm... half a billion, out of roughly a trillion, compared to my account, mathing mathing mathing...

    That's like me spending a buck... on payday... the payday that doesn't go into rent...

    Maybe he can spring for the Super Sized corruption combo next time.

    Seriously, $500 million to a trillionaire is roughly the same as $100 to someone with $100k. This is not doing shit to his hoard of gold. That dragon still needs to be slain.

    It wasn't a flop, ok? Thanks to that half billion, the day after the elections Space X and Tesla lost roughly 100 billion in the market!

    That is not a flop! It's something way better.

    Unfortunately that is just pocket money for him. Somewhere in the ball park of 100 quid for an average joe doing ok in life (i.e most of us). On the otherhand if I put down 100 quid on lottery and got nothing in return I would be really bummed. So I hope he is writhing in stomach aches because of this.

    The dude was a trillionaire. He doesn't give a ratfuck's fuck about half a billion dollars.

    I hope he has a coronary about it

    It might as well be pennies to him, considering how much his net worth is.

    I wonder if he'll find a way to not pay the vendors like he and trump always try to do.

    That's a lot of money that could have been spent on useful things. What a scum bag

    This is not a lot of money for him, but I hope it inconvenienced him in some way to have to borrow that money or report it. I’m sure he just pays someone else to do that stuff for him because no one who makes bad decisions seems to learn their lesson anymore, but I hope it showed him in some way that it’s not worth it.

    This evil fucker has achieved "escape velocity" and no longer going to be worth less than a trillion. A billionaire is the same
