People like him are legitimately such massive failures.

Countless people could do better... Millions - no, billions of us. Instead, we have edgelords like him in positions of immense power and influence.

He is the personification of everything wrong with the world today.

Amen to that.

The fact that people idolize him just boggles the mind. How much of a failure does someone have to be to look at Musk and go "this is my kind of guy"?

You wouldn't get where he is because to be billionaire is to be a sociopath.

Unless you inherit your fortune, you've crushed countless businesses and employees just to get more money.

Apartheid emerald mine nepo baby still exploiting poors to this day.

if you could so easily have done better, why didn't you?

Or do you mean growing up in South Africa was a generational privilege you didn't have access to?

It might have been the emerald mine

Hey, Elon (or was it his incestuous pedophile of a father?) said they barely made a few hundred thousand dollars with it (N decades ago, so inflation adjusted that's probably at least a million). They were practically destitute!

Username fits. How can you be aware of what country he is from without being aware of the apartheid emerald mine?

Hi Elon.

Because not everyone can have rich parents and their connections. But I know you are just arguing in bad faith.
