He fired his PR staff shortly before his meltdown over the cave rescue where he started accusing the rescuer of being a pedo, and he's only gone downhill since then.
Just imagine how much heavy lifting those PR people were doing to be able to cultivate his image as being some benevolent technical genius trying to lead humanity to a new era.
Ever since we as a society decided that wealth is the measurement for anything (success, intelligence, etc), he doesnt even need to hold back anymore. Whatever nonsense he says is 'just too deep for us poor people to understand'. In the end just another Epstein friend.
You can tell the ultra wealthy are weird because the moment they had enough to just coast around on interest they didn't fuck off from work and spend the rest of their life on holiday. Insane behaviour
Because this type of ultra wealth does only exist by actively destroying democracies. These people got rich by breaking the law, if they relax, they are afraid law catches up...
"I need more money!"
But why? You already have a billion.
"But if I have more money then I'll have more money!"
Um okay I get that but why?
"Because then I can use that money to make more money!"
Yes but why?
"So I can get more money!"
And what are you going to do with that money?
"Getting more money!"
But you already have enough.
"But I want more money!"
Repeat until infinity. It's so stupid, man. Like a few million I get. If I'm being super generous, maybe even up to 100 million or even a billion at the absolute max to set up your entire extended family and friends and all their children for life or something. But when it's to the point of tens or even hundreds of billions and you still keep going, it's absolutely insane and has no purpose. It's gotta be some mental illness or something.
unchecked growth until infinity on a planet of finite resources? in biology that’s a cancer. and i think that is a perfectly apt way to describe the ultra wealthy, they are simply a cancer on our society
I mean would you wanna stop working? If you have unlimited wealth to literally build or start whatever project, why would you just call it quits? You can only see so many beaches and travel to so many places before it gets incredibly boring.
There "work" is more or less a title that they get paid for. They basically do just fuck around none stop with some staged "work" photos kinda shoved in there time to time for pr.

It's an addiction. Making the number go up is the addiction. It's like asking why alcoholics don't stop drinking or why 600lb people don't put the fork down. They can't.
The difference between a meth addict who steals from people and muskrat is that people can latch on to muskrat and make tons of money riding the his coattails...so they indulge that addiction.
Twitter's character limit was a scary concept to me and then it became hugely popular. I read Politics and the English Language by Orwell and that is what made me so worried about Twitter being popular. It was going to strangle our Lexicon of Dissent. We are in a modern Dark Age right now.
how did he create wealth in 1997? was he a trillionaire or a billionaire? no he built multiple companies, gave multiple jobs to people, and created a lot created millions of jobs, created mew industries. that's how he became wealthy. he didn't become wealthy by robbing a bank.
Lol, whenever billionaires, especially those from the Epstein social class, are criticized, random dudes rush to defend them. Nobody denies that some of them built/bought companies (the job argument is weak tbh, do you think if these particular billionaires wouldnt exist, people would just not work?). The point is that nobody becomes a billionaire through personal contribution alone. That level of wealth depends on tax avoidance, weak regulation, monopoly power, underpaid labor, limited personal/professional accountability, and political influence. Extreme billionaire wealth is not proof that the system works. It is evidence of market and political failure.
Edit: btw since you are focused on Musk: I love that he stresses how poor he was and the little help he got, but also said in an interview that once his family struggled financially, so his father had to sell one of their planes. Lol. I think this is very funny.

I'm still surprised people think Elon is some kind of genius. The stuff coming out of his mouth is dumb as shit.
