Remember he is only this wealthy because other people are willing to buy a share of his money losing company at a highly inflated price.
Trillionaires cannot be allowed to exist. Now that there’s one, all the rest of the Sociopathic Oligarchs are going to want to be trillionaires, too, so we’ll face another round of ruthless profit squeezing to get there.
And they’ll get even more arrogant and demanding, and when we finally deny them, they will form alliances, and start creating their own military. We will see it, and try and stop it, but MAGAs will defend them and run interference.
They will eventually claim a landmass somehow - buy it, steal it, conquer it - and become their own financially and militarily aggressive nation, and really start throwing their weight around.
It is absolutely imperative that we stop these mentally-ill financial hoarders. Their obsessive accumulation of money is suppressing the freedom of billions of people around the globe, and it will only get worse. They can’t control themselves, they don’t care at all about the damage they inflict, and they have no intention of slowing down. They can’t, they are MENTALLY ILL. They need medical care, not be treated like visionary business people, and they certainly should not be given even more money by the government. It’s like giving a drunk his own distillery, or handing a gambling addict his own casino.
And billionaires already look down on millionaires. Now trillionaires are going to look down their snooty noses at mere billionaires. Millionaires are now paupers.
The rest of us only have value as cheap slave labor, but once AI takes over, we won’t even carry value as slaves. Then we’ll just be in the way, consuming, demanding our rights, causing problems, demanding valuable things for free like food, water, air, medical care, housing, etc. We will become useless consumers of resources to people who see us as nothing more than ants, and we will be treated accordingly.
It is INEVITABLE.
While I do believe they’ll form an alliance the deal is that those cuts will turn on eachother as soon as it benefits them on the shortest of terms. A society of sociopaths will not last
Yeah they all think they’re the main character in the room, basically all very rich people do. Any co-operating is just not going to work out long-term
People must starve somewhere for people like him having trillions
This reminded me of a subway take video I watched yesterday with a young lady in London. She focused on climate but I will expand.
We have solved all the worlds major problems. We have solved homelessness. We have solved hunger. We have solved climate change.
That is not the problem. The problem is the alternative to these things are too lucrative for people to implement.
No because then they wouldn’t be able to steal money from them.
Kill the rich, save the poor. Taxation, is not enough for the current era. There must be justice for the crimes committed. Once they are dead, then we can figure out how to run the world without capitalism. Untill then, the elimination of the ultra-rich by any means should be the goal. Everything else is noise.
We’re not one for violence…
👏🏻 welp, good thing they don’t classify murdering monsters as violent! Lmao
Man, I thought Musk was obnoxious before, but now we will have to start saying “billionaires and trillionaires” instead of just “billionaires”. Maybe “Epstein class” sums it up?
He is technically still also a billionaire. Having over 1,000 billions does not exclude one from that group. I feel disgusted even writing this comment.
How about Sociopathic Oligarchs?
But Yes, “Epstein Class” needs to be a permanent addition to the language.
Morbid financial obesity
just write it as >=billionaries
the world doesn’t need anymore >=billionaires!
If you have a trillion dollars in a world where children starve, you’re the problem.
Children starved before Elon bruh.
no kidding, rich assholes who allowed the poor to die while hoarding resources have always existed? gosh golly gee willickers, I wouldn’t have known! Thanks for telling us, pal.
I don’t think millionaires in USA are the reason why kids in Africa are starving
Thing is we’re talking about trillionaires now, not millionaires. It might feel like they’re pretty close right? Since it’s million -> billion -> trillion it means that if you have a million dollars you’re about 1/3 of the way to being a trillionaire right?
No, you’d be 0.0001% of the way there.
Just to reframe it:
1 Trillion = 1,000,000 Million. 1 Million Million. 1 Million².
If you’re a millionaire, why haven’t you just done it a million more times?
A trillionaire sees a millionaire in the same way a millionaire sees someone with a net worth of… 1$
Then I have some terrible news for you… Millionaires in the USA and elsewhere are pretty much exactly why kids in Africa are starving (to death, lest the implied goes unnoticed.)
I don’t think
Should have stopped there.
you might want to look up “colonization”, the British, Spanish, Portuguese, etc colonized much of Africa, drained it of resources, then that same wealth made its way to the US which was also a British colony after they killed and stole the land from the natives. Colonizers who then min maxed it by going all in on slavery, then when the motherland was asking for too much in taxes from their profits they broke away. The US was built with blood and money.
that’s fine, I forgive you for being wrong.
You would be wrong.
Millionaires, no, but billionaires, yeah probably.

Yeah, children starved in feudal systems and in despotic empires… See the pattern?
Yeah they were starving. But now we have a fat succulent trillionaire that can feed them.
Then when there’s nothing left of him we can use his money to buy more food for them.
Not just kids. Anyone starving. Anyone in abject poverty. Anyone housebound because they can’t afford whatever medical help they need to have a life. It’s not just the kids. Billionaires suppress all of our abilities to get ahead.
Skip that and tell the truth: At that point - you’re no longer human. You’re in opposition to us and there’s no option but to kill whatever trillionares are.
They are no longer humans.
Billionaires aren’t human either.
You aren’t a cunt, you’re the fucking cause.
Man I remember when we had the first trillion dollar company not very long ago (not counting the Dutch East Indies company) and now we have a trillion dollar man. The world is so out of whack.
Kinda stands to reason. It’s the trillion dollar companies that are his assets.
Well yes, but most multi billion dollar companies aren’t in the hands of a single person. Which is the key here. No one person should hold such power.
His value is only worth what he can sell it for. If no one is buying, he’s worthless.
That part is obvious and the same goes for a company.
Why do so many people still use Twitter? Why do so many people still buy Teslas? It seems like everyone hates Elon but not enough to do even the easiest boycott ever.
Don’t forget that X.com is a child pornography generator.
Also anyone opposed to all this needs to also boycott grok and anthropic (which pays spacex for compute). But you should probably avoid all ai to be safe.
That’s grok, which is xAI, which is now SpaceX and now a public company.
People’s pension funds are investing in a CSAM generator.
I bought a Hyundai for this reason.
A friend of mine who is a DC comics fan just purchased a Tesla. He’s rationalised everything as “but it’s a good car”. Brother, you just supported real life Lex Luthor while wearing a SuperMan T-shirt…
In other words; there are people out there who claim pure morals while ignoring heinous and terrible things just to have an extra 100km of range. So what the CEO made decisions that will kill millions? The car now has rear door releases! Think of the safety!
just to have an extra 100km of range.
Fake range. They just put a larger number on their screen.
I sent him an article before his purchase of the testing that was done showing most EV manufacturers were lying about the range, with Tesla being the worst. Didn’t phase him at all.
Last autumn I spent the day with a surveyor at work, who believed in the new world order, cancel culture, covid vaccines were controlling our minds, IMF conspiracies, etc etc. Also drove a Tesla.
So he’s a right wing nut job who supports right-wing nut jobs, sounds about right
Yup. There were some other comment that made it all quite ironic and I can’t what remember what it was. Should have added that really.
Teslas have the worst safety ratings from every single electric car. Including the largest fail and defect numbers.
What you’re not taking into account is how much you can ignore with the right amount of copium. I do hope for his sake nothing goes wrong with the car but if it does he has no one to blame but himself at this point.
May Saint Kendrik bless him with the ability to hate with his whole heart.
parasite
He’s going to be loaded onto one of his rockets to Mars whether it is ready or not by an angry mob someday. Or he’s going to go into a bunker and never come out.
I wish more people had seen Don’t Look Up so we could reference the ending at times like this.
Spoils it for me willya. I am a man of journeys, not endings
Plus, the AI was actually right in the movie. We don’t even get that.
Although, it wasn’t right about how Dr. Mindy died
I can’t wait until these assholes all head to the big luxury resort on Mars.
Nobody sniffs their own farts a deeply and satisfyingly as a Sociopathic Oligarch, and it causes them to become arrogant on a mentally-ill level, and they are only getting worse. They will believe that their little Mars project for the ultra wealthy is the peak of human progress, but they will underestimate its dangers, both from the environment, and from outside forces.
Once they’re up there, and we’re down here, we can cut them off, and they’ll be stuck up there. It will take decades for them to create a Mars-based economy to replace what they had on Earth. Without Earth dwellers to exploit, they’ll start stealing from each other, causing their own class warfare.
And for every second they remain on Mars, they are at the mercy of an environment that is far more inhospitable that anywhere on Earth. If the dome gets breached, it is all over for them, and there will be constant attacks. Eventually one will succeed.
They can’t to Mars soon enough.
If Mars has a luxury resort that billionaires are willing to go to, it’s going to be pretty developed and the world as we know it will be very different as that means it’s also heavily colonized.
Now, get rid of the cunt. Like for real
I’m pretty sure that kicks in at a billion.
7 billion was the projected amount it would take to end world hunger. So yes it would be very doable for the world to be a better place if the rich were simply taxed and followed the same laws as everyone else.
7 billion was the projected amount it would take to end world hunger.
Lie—that was nonsense that went viral, and immediately collapsed under scrutiny. That claim was tweeted at Musk, and when he replied saying ‘explain how that would work and I’ll give you the money right now’, he got a sheepish response to the tune of ‘well actually, it would only help, not end it, and only temporarily’.
A more recent, actual estimate, puts it closer to $93 billion. And not once, but annually.
Stop being so gullible and falling for this sensationalized nonsense just because it confirms your biases.
Still seems like a pretty low number to me. The U.S. military budget request this year was 1.5 trillion dollars. Thats unusually high, but even at previous levels of 700-800 billion a year, that’s chump change to take out of the U.S. military budget yearly.
Now if we all actually cared about world hunger 93 billion annually is a pretty small price to pay.
We should probably still try taxing them and not letting them commit crimes right?
Maybe we could even solve world hunger for 1 year, like to see if it’s a good idea?
For those not doing the math - assuming a trillion dollars just gets dumped into a bucket labeled “world hunger” (because we as the world decide to start taxing millionaires, billionares, etc heavily), and assuming we’d need $93 million to eradicate it annually, we could eradicate world hunger for the next 10,752 years.
Closer to 11 years because they said 93 Billion. Which is still a lot. The US spends over a trillion each year on the military so a trillion per decade isn’t bad.
I refuse to believe it would need that much ad-infinitum. The first bunch creates a load of infrastructure, and that becomes self sustaining over the next few years.
CORRECT! And THATS why I’m ok NOT Taxing Billionaires! Because if we CANT Solve something RIGHT NOW we should LET KIDS DIE while letting Billionaires BUY Countries instead!
Some would say at 100 million. I’d say much earlier.
