Post things your (least) fav billionaire does.

This used to be the Elon Musk sub, but in an attempt to boost engagement, we have engaged a new pathway.

You can post anything related to billionaires here.

He fears the country he helped ruin.

[–] RyanDownyJr@lemmy.world 73 points 1 week ago (3 children)

He isn't moving any of his finances is what I've read. Simply to change residence so that he can evade a one time CA wealth tax. Imagine being his kid, losing your entire friend circle, routines, etc, and being moved to another country with completely different climate, customs, hell even language, just because you filthy rich ass dad doesn't want to be SLIGHTLY filthy ass rich...

Peter thiel is a fascistic eugenicist dipshit but the kid might actually benefit a bit. Learning a language through immersion at a young age is the easiest way to learn a second language. Maybe the kid gets spanish fluency out of this.

[–] criticon@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are they going to learn a new language? Lots of these people enroll their kids at international schools that teach in English and there are many gentrified places in big cities where you don't need the local language

[–] teft@piefed.social 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

As an english speaker and spanish as a second language user who lives in a latin american city i’d say it’s pretty hard to get around if you only know english. He’ll probably learn just from being around it. Kids tend to do that with new languages. Like he may attend an english based school but the kids will be bilingual and who wouldn’t want to learn the local slang? And then that snowballs into learning more language until one day you’re accidentally fluent.

Their nanny and other household staff members will protect them from having to deal with such inconveniences.

These rich ass fucks have American-speaking nannies in Argentina while the most fortunate Americans can only afford nannies that speak Argentenes in America. Wtf.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Did you expect them to subject their kids to anything less than an English speaking nanny?

Whats the point of being obscenely rich if you can't insulate the kids from the real world?

[–] Bluescluestoothpaste@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

He's a billionaire, that kid will never walk into a shoo that isn't closed down with their best english speaker hosting the special customer. It's just one of those things, difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is about a billion dollars. They live on a different plane of existence.

Also, the epstein oligarchs plan on building at least one massive data center in Argentina.

[–] stormeuh@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Also don't forget that the proposed wealth tax would essentially be nullified by interest on the remaining wealth in a couple of years. So this isn't confiscatory in any meaningful way, it just slows down the redistribution by a couple of years.

I hate that this guy has children

I dont hate the kids, just the man.

[–] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Nah, his kids will be monsters too

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Probably. Though there is a glimmer of hope for them.

After all, most of Musk's kids hate him.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yea but they werent born monsters is i think what the op comment was meaning. Like in theory if they were taken from theil today and raised differently they could be relatively normal.

Many Swissgermans fled to Argentine as well.

Good German tradition.

Nazi tradition.

[–] orioler25@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 week ago

Hm, what an odd thing for a fascist to run to Argentina.

[–] CptOblivius@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Nazi's love Argentina

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 15 points 1 week ago

The future he had a large part in forging??

If only these selfish fucks had even a smidgen of foresight.

[–] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Where can you find a list of upcoming events where the Nazi oligarchs will be attending? Send like something that we should be tracking

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

he knows hes on the list/menu

[–] Garbagio@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

Nah he knows him and his class allies broke it and want out.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hope he's not abandoning little JD Vance. The man needs his puppets to work for him, before the rapture comes. /s

[–] 6244901@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

But did JD Vance ever even say thank you???

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

What's the point of keeping them if they don't pay taxes anyway?

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's a shame.

He should've moved further away. He'd love Uranus this time of year.

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Please. I bet he doesn't have one person in his life that would leave a coin for him to pay Charon.

Guaranteed all his friends and family would be there at his funeral, digging in his mouth like they're looking for a forgotten quarter in a payphone.

My brother in Antichrist, you're the reason in the first place!

[–] CoolSouthpaw@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Go on, get outta here. Argentina is a shithole country anyway.
