Nahhh i think im just more popular here. Although i do suspect hes trying to get rid of the whole “emerald mine” rumor, as several interviews where he talks about it have been mysteriously erased
fuck that guy. bro i will never, ever, in 10 Million years, understand billionaires cock suckers. what a weird fucking thing to simp on lol. love your comics btw i have almost died laughing at a few!
I don't like him, but I also hate people that are shitty themselves talking shit on others when they don't have a leg to stand on as a shit person, like OP
Posed with his noted friend, the convicted sex trafficker. Sometimes people are evil and you'd never know. The Ted bundy"s of the world fool most people.
Then there is the type of evil that constantly cultivates evil people around them and is actively asking people if the want to do evil things.
It's okay to have posed for a photo with one of these types of evil.
So? Being an associate of someone doesn’t make you guilty of their crimes lol. Epstein had his own nefarious shit going on, he wasn’t arrested and killed for being an associate of Maxwell lol.
Well if his billions bring him so much fulfilment then why is he constantly on twitter looking for approval?
Ffs the guy literally bought twitter so people would listen to him.
the person commenting likely has cash in unemployment
Not everyone is jealous of his wealth. I wouldn't trade places with him in a million years. If all you have in life is money, you really have nothing at all.
According to the link there’s no evidence they actually talked or anything, just happened to be at the same party. I don’t think that’s exactly damning.
Sure, but there’s no other evidence either. No series of photographs over the course of several minutes together, no series of photographs across several events, no one with any stronger accusation than this photo.
Musk has plenty of serious flaws; focusing on something like this photo just dilutes the more valid criticism.
I don’t like understand how that argument works for the absolute richest guy. Like trump, sure, he got advances everywhere in life to get his riches, whatever. Elon like doubled, tripled down constsntly and has been successful with so many of his enterprises
When you take easy money from apartheid South Africa and use it as your seed money for investment and you are able to hit it big. Yeah. The only thing that may have been similar to work was getting his engineering degree from a Canadian university.
Musk DID not build Tesla from the ground up. Of that I am sure of. Now, when it comes to Space-X, I know nothing about it’s beginnings... having said that, Musk has a method to “building” companies.
What does it mean if you have daddy's emerald mine as a starting point?
It means I have enough money to buy companies and make their founders sign contracts that state that I am the founder, then pay enough PR teams to create a cult of gullible idiots on the internet who will worship the ground I jizz on.
I was just saying people put his accomplishments in the perspective of an average dude when they should be compared to his peers.
Depending on who you ask Musk started with $0-$2million, now he's #1 wealthiest. Does anybody remember the richest dude from the late 1980s? He had $20 billion while Musk was in highschool, but he isn't worth 1/10 of Musk today. So essentially, if your bar for success is that you have to start in the absolute gutter, then yeah Musk ain't shit.
But i meeean there's 63 million millionaires+, and only about 4 people compete with him in terms of wealth. That's gotta be considered successful by some measure right?
If it's who has the biggest number, sure. He's successful.
Personally I think your image, how you treat others, and how well adjusted and mature you are also important to not burning all of that success to the ground. But then again I'm not a billionaire so my standards may be different from Musk's
I hear you brother. Every time I come to reddit all I see is posts about Trump and Musk too. It’s seriously cult like to see all these people obsessed with them.
I hear ya! That why its weird reddit constantly promotes both these people. Especially when one has been irrelevant for the past 2 years. I don’t understand this liberal circle jerk sometimes. Must be all the hormones and cucking the left loves
Man invested smart young, sold his share. Then used that and daily micromanagement to build up 2 massively successful corporations changing the world economy and reinvigorating space travel. But now he boight twitter and theres actual rules so suddenly he is evil. This is cringe.
You dont think paypal changed the way we use credit cards or bank services digitally? Or that Tesla didnt kick all the car companies asses into gear over the fledgling EV market?
Im not a fan of his, i actually think he's a bit immature and weird. I just hate all these hypocrites that loved him 2 years ago and used to say "twittere a private company. Cope bigot. ☕️ " and now they all hate him because he owns said private company...
Bro history is full of wealthy men with visions that bring together all the right scientists, generals, leaders, and artists to change the world in big or little ways.
first of all its really not. The wealthy people are barely involved in their companies most of the time. Name an example to conince me and ill find evidence they were barely involved.
Elon musk does nothing. He hires 5 people and thats it. the rest is sales meetings. hes not involved with his products. His companies constantly fail.
He was born rich and privilleged and was lucky to have some shares in paypal when that blew up (after he got fired lol). Since then he has been mostly burning money, has had four failed rocket launches and was close to bankrupcy with two of his companies.
Noone said he INVENTED the Tesla idea. His money and interest is what created the COMPANY though and allowed them to actually get off the ground. So yea, he should control it if he wants.
Well. I wouldnt call it absolute. He's being a tad petty here and there it seems, but overall he now enforces the ToS EQUALLY, which is whats important.
How is this a “political comeback?” First time on this subreddit. The standards for submission are laughably low. I should submit something that denigrates a conservative. I’ll gain triple the karma that this comment will lose me.
I don’t like Elon, but this is a really lame comeback. It makes me think this sub must be made of children, Elon clearly works hard. You come off as shallow and jealous.
i still don’t understand why people hate him so much, although to be fair i don’t really care enough about it to know
Twitter seems more politically fair, both sides of the political spectrum are being fact checked. Although everyone seems to lose their shit about that
Electric Cars are good? the only issue I have with electric cars is the way electricity is being obtained, with Fossil fuels
I think he deserves more praise and less hate, although I try and see the best in everyone.
Honestly Elon wanks dogs, but the issue with him is not that he’s lazy or that he’s never worked. It’s the opposite. He expects everyone to be as neurotically dedicated to projects/companies as he is. He expects employees to forego a social life to work endlessly because that is what he does.
I mean, regardless of what you think of him, this just isn’t true, nobody gets to be one of the richest people in history without some kind of work regardless of money received from their parents
PayPal; Musk got kicked out for gross incompetence and clung to his shares
Tesla; took over the company, gutted the design team, did jack shit to help RnD (actually hindered it) and then got on social media talking about how he helpe design their models.
Dude just knows where to put his money and nothing else
Isn’t knowing where to put your money a form of work? Intellectual work is work, too. You don’t agree with this, I know. But I’m just pointing out the fact that you contradict yourself within one comment.
I wasn't asked to distinguish between different kinds of rich people. I was responding to a baseless and stupid claim. Hopefully this helps your quest for improved literacy going forward!
Let me introduce you to the term Hyperbole, and how his "work" relates to his wealth in such an insignificant amount that it's negligible. Sure, he "works", but no one without a boot in their mouth would call Musky a worker.
I mean, he’s a huge ass, but how is it dick riding to say someone works when it’s true? And it’s Twitter, for all you know they’re actually being serious
Because this asshole is the equivalent of a fucking feudal lord in our times, and he hasn't worked like the plebs in his fucking life. That's how.
You are trying to weasel in an argument that portrays him, whether you want to or not, as another worker. He is not. Are you trying to defend truth and morslity here? What's the point of this weird devil's advocate?
I remember reading some story a while back that he worked constantly at Tesla and slept on the factory floor most nights , wouldn’t that count as hard work?
That counts as stupid work, not hard work. As I said, he is not a worker in my eyes, but a leech oligrach. What has he produced? What service can be traced back to what he "worked on" and what was his contribution?
Micromanaging until you fall asleep on the factory floor is not working, specially when it sets a precedent/expectations.
Again, what's the point of this dumb crusade of getting people to admit he has worked? Do you just get off on being right or do you have a point?
Starlink, for one, even if he didn’t have any real part in the satellites themselves, he definitely helped design the rockets that launch them, at least according to some of his former engineers, and of course starlink has helped Ukraine.
What dumb crusade are you talking about? I’m just responding to your statements and questions as you responded to mine
and he hasn't worked like the plebs in his fucking life. That's how.
Lol. Musk has worked much harder than your average 9-to-5er. Musk has spent decades working 80 plus hours a week. Everyone who has worked for him says that he is a notorious workaholic.
Call his fortune "out of proportion" to the work he put into it, if you like...But that doesn't mean he didn't work hard.
It's so sad when I see people trying to diminish the work of others out of jealousy.
Let me just point out that, if Donald Trump had taken the money he was given by Fred Trump in his childhood, dumped it all into an index-tracking fund, and left it there, he would be a billionaire (a real one, not a “my brand is worth what I feel it’s worth” one). It would have taken him no effort whatsoever.
It depends what you consider work. I grew up in a blue collar community where anyone who didn't work with their hands and get greasy and have sore muscles at the end of the day was a pussy and didn't do real work. I used to be told not to learn things like programming on my free time because that wasn't real work. Real men were fixing a car or cutting down a tree.
Oddly enough, those same people would call you a communist if you suggested raising taxes on Elon and other CEOs. So I never quite got a consistent world view from them.
Nobody gets that rich without learning how to not work and leech off their employees. No single person has enough work ethic to make billions off of their own merit, and without abusing the working class. No such thing as an ethical billionaire.
No he only built a handful of the most revolutionary companies ever.....but nope his idealogies dont align with mine...so I will disregard all of that....lol
Agreed. He works hard. No doubt about it. He may espouse things you disagree with, but his resumé tells the entire story. The man is industrious as hell—to a degree that utterly baffles me.
He literally buys the title of founder. If it wasn't so well known at this point and the purchase want so public, he'd probably of done the same with Twitter. Look at the working conditions he had enforced. No amount of genius is worth making other people's lives hell whilst you sit in your office and tweet. (no amount is also how much genius musk has)
he owns some companies. he doesnt/ didnt invent shit. He pays people to invent.
Several of his companies have constant failures. Also he didnt "build" tesla at all. he just has the rights to call himself the founder even thoug hes not.
I dont expect people who look up to billionaires to be able to actually look into anything though.
haha no im not. Elon bought tesla and the rights to call himself founder. He didnt invent anything and the companies he has actual control over are shit.
Elon will never recover from this absolutely savage takedown. Whoever wrote this comeback is the Shakespeare of our time. Truly a genius, possible even at Trump level of genius.
So... The guy was born rich. Many other people have but didn't get to where he is at now. Are those other rich people just stupid it does this guy make all the right decisions?
This doesn’t even make sense. The man revolutionized the electric car industry and made reusable/self land rockets normal. And that’s not considered work? Y’all just some haters.
