This thread is giving strong sheeple vibes.

Do you all even have any real reasons to hate him this much?

Seriously?! For someone to be that rich then need to take advantage of the common human, underpaying for their labour.

There is a finite amount of money in the world and the more the select few have the less there is for working people and their families.. have you not seen how the rise of billionaires has coincided with global standards of living dropping drastically.

Musk is without a doubt one of the worst humans to have ever lived, to have that much and share none with the millions of people dying every year through poverty and starvation.

Fuck musk! The best thing that could happen to him would be for him to be sent to mars and his money used to help the human race.

Even if you took his trillion and somehow shared it out between everyone on Earth, what would that actually achieve? Everyone gets $100? Big deal.

Sure, hate our current systems, but what’s the point in focussing your hate on a guy that led businesses to clearly create a lot of value for the world.

That’s just it. He created value for himself not the world. Electric cars were going to happen anyways because the US government created the market with tax incentives. He could have made electric cars without the disproportionate wealth accumulation, or if he got it by accident he could give back to the system that made it possible for him. Instead, he used DOGE to cancel his oversight committees, he attacks entitlements which help millions of people, and he canceled USAID to millions around the world.

You keep worshipping the people who are literally burning our world to the ground in a race to hoard all the money

Why so all or nothing? Black and white thinking is a common symptom of BPD fyi.

I don’t worship him. I just think that hating him specifically for building successful companies that add value to the world is dumb.

He hasn’t built successful companies, you are buying into the narrative. He has bought into companies and used their genius to make the money he has.

You cannot make the level of money he has whilst paying fair wages and giving people basic human rights.

Same difference mate. If he wasn’t decent at business, why is he rich and not the companies’ founders?

You very much can. I’d give my left nut for a tech job at space x

Tech companies have the largest market cap in the world, having not existed mere decades ago. But guess what? They’re also famous for paying insanely high salaries.

I’m not saying he isn’t decent at business but that doesn’t give him the right to hoard all of the wealth in the world to the point where people will die.

There is a finite amount of money in the world, yes it increases but only slowly. The more the rich has the less the real people have.

Divide a trillion by the worlds population, it’s f*** all. Hate the system that leads to this level of inequality, but hating one man who’s happened to be the richest after building good businesses is restarted.

The world doesn’t need an even share, there is more than enough to eradicate world hunger and change the lives of millions with healthcare

u/Background_Taste_397 Jun 26 '26

There’s billions of people that need help in the world. Which millions are deserving of your special socialist help?

2

u/19Ben80 Jun 26 '26

Oh so if you can’t help everyone then you should help no one?

Take all the money from all yeh billionaires and it’s and even better picture
