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.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago

Billionaires aren't human either.

If you have a trillion dollars in a world where children starve, you're the problem.

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.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 9 points 1 week ago

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!

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

just to have an extra 100km of range.

Fake range. They just put a larger number on their screen.

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 7 points 1 week ago

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.

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.

I'm pretty sure that kicks in at a billion.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (6 children)

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.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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?

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.

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?

Cue lots of conservative hand-wringing and tone-policing.

This need to be on every billboard across the globe.

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.

[–] Bluedragon012@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] Nurgus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I wish more people had seen Don't Look Up so we could reference the ending at times like this.
