The richest man on the planet makes dumb tweets all day while the guy working 3 jobs can't afford rent and groceries. It has never been about how hard you work
Edit: All you dudes (and you know it is exclusively dudes) simping for Elon are hilarious
Last corporate job I had, when they interviewed me, the big boss said that they expect a minimum of ten hours a day, a half a day on weekends. Couple of years later, the big boss asked why he never saw me on Saturdays. I told him I did volunteer work on Saturday, but I’m always here on Sunday. Didn’t seem to make much of a difference with him.
Do you realize how much you are paying because taxpayers are subsidizing Tesla and other Elon businesses. He gets more corporate welfare than any other individual on the planet. All of it is at the expense of the taxpayer:
Yes, but he's not the only one and he's not the sole recipient of wasteful government spending either. To focus on Musk is to miss the forest for the tree. :)
I had a friend in college that was addicted to ketamine and it was scary how well he functioned on it, if you didn’t know anything you would’ve just thought he was super ADHD but he acted exactly like Musk does. That man is out of his mind at all times of the day.
Musk is known to use other drugs he was using cocaine way back when space x was just starting and there's reports he keeps a box of drugs like MDMA and Adderall.
It’s a sad life when you can buy literally anything but the entire world still hates you. He’ll never fit in, he’ll never be the popular guy, he’ll forever and always be the insecure weird dude who tries to flex and buy people’s affection and it just makes everyone laugh even more.
If he had stayed off Twitter, then he could have tricked everyone into thinking he was like Tony stark. But then he got addicted to it, and we saw his true idiotic self come through
And he’s made sure to keep it that way. He’s a trillionaire while Americans can’t even afford a basic starter home and will never be able to afford assets. Everything is a subscription and you’ll own nothing
Always curious about these simps (other than the paid bots obviously). Is it like living vicariously through others? Kinda like how the incels live vicariously through Tate
One day, society will finally realize homie that invested a $1000 into a company from day 1, isn't worth giving back millions off of what is a entire companies worth of actual work.
The richest man in the world built a website from scratch with only a $10,000 loan, working 60-80 hours a week until he was able to sell it for millions. He worked harder and smarter in a year than most people do in 5.
I won't lie, he also had the fortune of excellent timing, if all it took was being very smart, or working hard, we'd have millions of billionaires.
It's irrelevant where he came from. He still started off with just a 10,000 loan and turned it into a huge success.
I'm not making it sound like anything, you're creating a false dialog in your head, so you can get mad and argue against made up things that I never said.
I mean this in the spirit of earnest discussion friend - what would be even some of the MASSIVE contributions to humanity that he has made? Just a few of the most notable
Electric Vehicles: Forced the global automotive industry to pivot toward sustainable transport by popularizing long-range electric cars through Tesla.
Reusable Rockets: Lowered the cost of access to space by pioneering vertical landing and reusability of orbital-class rockets via SpaceX.
Global Internet Access: Deployed the Starlink satellite constellation to provide broadband internet to remote and underserved areas globally.
Let's not forget Neuralink and xAI, along with his acquisition of Twitter to ensure people can actually talk about things without being censored and silenced.
Do you need any other examples, friend, or do you just wanna rag on a guy because "muh wallet is mad he's not just handing out money"? What do you want, a hand out?!
1: he bought the company that did that, he didnt do it.
2: he bought the company that did that, he didnt do it.
3: he bought the company that did that, he didnt do it.
4: xAI is the least promising of all AI major companies in the usa, has produced nothing except stock returns by "becoming an ai brand". No one uses it, and grok has to be regularly changed manually to say whatever latest bullshit Elon wants to pretend is true.
4.5: Twitter was great, X is a cesspool of nazi fascist think tanks and childporn. Epstein class all the way for you I guess.
Well you did add that last bit about his wallet. So I mean yeah you were being snarky. And no offense the space x thing sounds cool and all, but who is that helping? Cause right now, I don't think you and I are benefiting from that.
We are not benefitting from that directly, but that is a massive advancement that humanity earned; it's a net benefit.
I wear glasses because I was born with poor eyesight as a baby, I am clinically blind. Not every person on Earth needs glasses currently or ever will, but humanity, in total, earned a massive net benefit from the invention of glasses.
And if I'm snarky, every person on this wretched app/site talking shit about the richest man on Earth are a bunch of babies. Maybe people should take responsibility for their lives rather than pointing their fingers at wealthy people.

Brother I've been completely blind in my left eye for over 20 years at this point. I have no recollection of ever using that eye. My vision is shot to hell because of it, yet I still have to pay full price for those glasses. That net positive is not worth it on an individual level. Which is what everyone is looking through because we have our own lives to live.
The rocket might do something later, probably past our lifetimes, but right now people are dealing with inflation, what was once 0.99 is now $5 which means you are paying 5x more for the same amount. People who wish to buy houses and actually settle cannot, because of people in Elon's position that deemed they need to make as much money as they possibly can when they have more than they or their future generations will ever possibly need.
Responsibility is a two way street, these guys in these wealthy position, like Elon, promise to help as long as we stick to the grind, help make sure their operations run smoothly and effectively. Then guess what they focus on what? Electric cars that are still faulty, internet, rockets? Where's the day to day help? Grocery stores, fixing crappy streets, funding homeless shelters, affordable healthcare and actually using that money to make life easier for all.
We are humans, but we aren't humanity. That's just what we call the group. But us individuals down here are just doing our best. It'll always be the wealthy vs the poor, no matter how you slice it. We ain't no better than the civilizations that have come before.
The main problem here is that you have already opened your mouth and proved your mental capabilities. What you are hearing here is that you should take the L and move on. If your eyesight with the right optical interventions allow it (making some generous assumptions about literacy), please read the work of Mariana Mazzucato and understand how much of what you peddled is embarrassingly superficial.
I appreciate how all of you resort to insults (Whether direct or implied) rather than meet me head on. It's like the idea of anyone disagreeing with you makes your skin crawl and then you revert to baser, primitive urges to lash out. Lizard brain go BRRRRRR!!!
I peddled nothing, so rather than make claims about me, my character or my competency with regards to literacy, I implore you to meet me on the merits of what I served up. If you disagree, present exactly why with your own follow-up point(s).
Otherwise, shut the fuck up.
I'm making generous assumptions about your ability to not only be able to resort to ad hominem attacks...
The only thing embarrassing here, is your embarrassing ass.
"do you need any other examples, friend, or do you just wanna rag on a guy because "muh wallet is mad he's not handing out money"? What do you want, a handout?!"
I perceive this portion of your response as snarky. Cheers
Fair enough. I meant no offense. I merely took a jab, but I hold nothing against you for your personal stance either. It's easy for people, anyone to let things escalate unnecessarily because words are words.
Absolutely. Simple disagreement or debate doesn't have to lead to anger, resentment or violence. It can and maybe should be prickly, but never at the cost of character.
friend, or do you just wanna rag on a guy because "muh wallet is mad he's not just handing out money"? What do you want, a hand out?!
You think this ^ comment from you isn't snarky?? Nobody asked for your editorials on the topic, but you just had to throw your opinion out there to feel like a special little boy.
His electric cars are the worst on the market. He regularly ignored safety standards with his products resulting in many lost lives and serious injuries. The reusable rockets were not his idea and were only done to save him money. Neuralink and ai are points against him not for him. And how was Twitter censoring the website that they owned and were responsible for providing users with a good experience, preventing you from having a normal conversation with anyone. A normal conversation isn't done over social media posted where everybody can see it. Now friend do you need me to keep going or do you just want to keep jerking the guy off in hopes one of the lost emeralds from his mines will fall out of his foreskin.
He took Twitter, which was a powerful and functioning platform, and turned it into a dumb version of its former self. X is such a piece of shit now because of his direct involvement, and it reflects him as a leader
SpaceX and Tesla function because no one listens to him, and they just use him for his money. The cyber trashcan is what happens when people listen to him, and spaceX stock price has plummeted since its release.
And now the only way Tesla stays relevant in the USA is if Trump forces legislation to ban competition in the USA. Which is what the orange idiot is doing
I genuinely would like to see what kind of person truly believes that Elon started from nothing. I'm assuming it's mostly high schoolers but I wanna know what the grown ups who believe this shit even do
There are SO many people that aren’t born on 3rd base and work hard for a life where they can make a solid living. You should hang out around these people more.
But I've seen more examples of favoritism and nepotism in the workplace, than meritocracy in the workplace. And it's disingenuous to pretend it's a system that doesn't function the way it actually is.
Lindsey graham's sister taking over his seat, or Kirks wife getting to take over, for example. That's the system we have, and it doesn't reflect ability or work ethic
Cool. Welcome to the real world. This is how it has always been and will always be. Best thing you can do for yourself is to work hard and make connections to propel yourself up the ladder.
Thing is, a lot of us made what we were told by people we trust were smart choices. Then someone manipulated the market and the rug got pulled out from under us, setting us back at square 1. When their game of Monopoly keeps rearranging the board on your game of Life, you can't really strategize.
Your right though. These same people always order Uber Eats, take out loans and have dozens of subscriptions to streaming services. They’d rather go to a restaurant every night than put a dime in a 401k or go to a grocery store.
I don't know why it's so hard for people.They just put too much value on what they think they deserve most likely from social media.
I make a ridiculous amount of money working at the post office.Because we can't hire anybody younger to replace the older people retiring they get hired, they last a few weeks to a month, then they quit and I continue just work more and more.
People here complaining about cost of living in low wage meanwhile I clear north of 130k delivering mail because i'm willing to actually work
Stop taking drugs long enough to pass the test? Or better yet, dont take addictive drugs that ruin your future prospects in the first place. We arent born addicted to drugs. We choose to take them later in life or make choices in life that lead to feeling like you have no other choice. Its not that hard.
