Imagine thinking being that rich is a good thing rather than a catastrophic systemic failure.

    Nah Elon needs to be skinned alive while heavily medicated so he doesn't die untill we're done.

    Doesn’t matter how much money this loser has. He had no friends and he has no joy in life. Even Epstein, one of the worst most vile people on the planet wanted absolutely nothing to do with Musk. You have to suck pretty badly to have the leader of the worlds biggest pedophile ring want nothing to do with you.

    He’ll die, alone.

    Maybe he'll die with a bunch of other billionaires in like a plane crash or something. Gotta stay optimistic

    There should be such a large target on musk's back that he never leaves the house

    only rich folks can wear a shirt that says rethink systems like it's some cutting edge brand and not something people have been doing for millions of years

    Did he really deepfake himself into a photo of Elon musk and Marilyn Monroe as if this man even knows he exists?

    *trillionaire

    Funny that anyone would celebrate the greatest possible example of what a douchey cunt they are

    Rockafeller's 1bil is the equivalent of 30bil now so Elon is > 33x richer than he was. We need to tax stock bonuses and payments. You get paid in stock, it's income taxed at the top rate as either cash value at time of issuance or the equivalent % in stock to the government to be sold over the next 12 months. Loans backed by stocks or non primary residences should be taxed as capitol gains as well. I'm sure considerations for running it through a company need to be addressed to close some loopholes.

    I think there is a psychology to it. Some people like to be number 2 to a top dog.

    It's the same reason women support the patriarchy. Better to be second place than anything else.

    Plenty of women benefit from the patriarchy. They don't care how it affects other women, just how it affects them individually.

    And they'll never think they'll be the ones cast away at first glance when it comes for her. It'll never happen to them.

    I think it's also the tribal part of our brains that make it feel good to be on the winning side, even if you aren't contributing to the victory.

    I have an incredible imagination. I'm ceaselessly shocked at how bad the average imagination is.

    I can not imagine being that much of a loser.

    Dances while looking way better than he ever could IRL, with a woman way hotter than would ever touch him without a hefty cash payment. At least 5 figures, probably 6.

    Does that woman even exist, or is she AI slop? I’m betting on slop.

    lol he shipped himself with Elon. Fucking pathetic. Remember it’s because of pathetic guys like this chud why Elon’s share of Space X is worth so much. It’s just millions of guys going “Notice me senpai” by buying the shares. And of course institutional investors know these guys who are into Musk findom gooning exist so they just ride the wave which puts even more upward pressure on the stock price.

    Stupid dick-race aside, I am curious how much this difference is when adjusted for inflation.

    Also 172 countries sounds wrong.

    Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
