Fucking idiots will down vote you but this is the truth and something a lot of people who work or have worked with Musk say. The guy knows his shit. He didn't get to be the richest guy on earth because of South African emeralds or whatever. He's changing the world. Love him or hate him, you don't matter. If you think he's a moron then do better and take him down.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

He became the richest guy on earth because the system is set up to give you infinite money when you hit critical mass of wealth. Why do you think the rich keep getting richer and the poor get poorer?

He did not get here because he's smart; he's rich and was too rich to fail. He got a leg up in emerald mines which allowed him to gamble and invest during the early internet days, thus allowing him to continue to invest/gamble.

He's certainly helping to change the world but not for the better. His philosophies that guide his policies are inciting violence and giving rise to racism and misogyny.

I definitely think he's a moron, but the system is set up so that I can't possibly take him or his ilk down. I wasn't born into a family that owned heaps of wealth and slavery. I'm not a white male.

But in % comparisons, my quality of life is much better than his. That's where I can take him down.

End rant.

If i had emerald money backing up my opportunities and had no soul... i probably could find a way to exploit the system to a mass vast amount of money.

Besides most of his "wealth" is all tied up in stocks. Him holding onto the shares is largely the only reason they maintain any value. Everytime he sells or uses them as collateral, the prices shift wildly downward.

No you couldn't. You're already privileged enough to waste time here so fucking do it. But you won't.....and can't.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Phones and internet cost like $10 a month....

You think i can create a mega corporation with that budget?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Some can. You with that attitude, no.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So uh... Where are your mega millions then champ???

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I am doing very okay, and I'm not the one claiming I can do better.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Never claimed i can do better... in fact I'd make for a shitty businessman, since i would ensure all my employees were being paid fairly and never less than a few percentage of my own salary.

Awww... Give yourself a little credit! If you were born the successor of a slave employing Emerald Mine fortune, you could fail your way up too!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My plan to “do better” in my life involves being very different from him and not striving to be the more rich and powerful shithead that takes his place.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Wow that sounds amazing.
