It's very concerning that the richest person to have ever lived is a full Blut und Boden fascist. This should be but probably won't be a wakeup call to all decent people worldwide that something is very wrong with capitalism. And not just capitalism, but very advanced and deeply embedded capitalism. Musk is an evil fuck, and no amount of money can buy him a soul.

He's also a moron. The fact that he is the most successful confidence man in the world, says a lot about our world now. Companies trading at hundreds of times their intrinsic values.

He needs to be guillotined.

Tbh it doesn't matter to me whether he's a billionaire or trillionaire (of course there's a huuge financial difference, but both is way too much already). He's just the most prominent ugly symptom of capitalism. No permanent fix to prevent this unless we get rid of these systems.

As the billionaires multiply their wealth by a factor of 1000, so too do I multiply my personal hatred for them, and so too does the social urgency of their abolition multiply anarchy

I know you say that as a slur like he's the worst person in the world. Because we don't yet consider anything worse than nazis/fascists. Like it was our latest media thing of how bad people can be. But I think it's worse than that.

It's still doesn't offset how much of a loser he is....

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 7 points 3 weeks ago

Honestly feel it makes him more of a loser

[–] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Any of us could simply pinch in to make him a trillionaire-not-for-long, just saying.

[–] ClassIsOver@hexbear.net 4 points 3 weeks ago

Establish a precedent for trillionaires painting a target on their own backs.

I hate that I just had to add "trillionaires" to my dictionary.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 14 points 3 weeks ago

I had a thought about it.

Elon Musk has 14 children.

If you chop off his head, there will be 14 more billionaires. Elon Musk is the Hydra.

Uncle Scrooge, a caricature or capitalism, was a saint by comparison

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

he did eventually see the error of his ways, billionaires have no 3 ghosts, except epsteins.

I continue to hope that he suffers from a mass overdose.

[–] JiveTurkey@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That actually seems too peaceful for this turd. I'd be okay with him living but watching as he loses everything.

[–] zout@fedia.io 11 points 3 weeks ago

I think you're seeing it wrong. In my mind, gone is gone, good riddance.

[–] sudo@lemmy.today 7 points 3 weeks ago

An overdose of lead, applied rapidly.

No thoughts I can share, but I'm going to saw down some invasive trees and pretend it's a guillotine so I can build those muscles.

It's immensely funny to me that he didn't hit that number by creating anything, but instead by bullshitting about an AI business that does not exist and that he valued at 10x the value of the rest of SpaceX (which actually does do something) combined.

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Fake trillionaire because if he ever tried to liquidate his holdings it would crash the world economy. Of course our wonderful financial system allows him to borrow against his fake wealth and leave the rest of us holding the bag

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Fake trillionaire

I wonder what you believe a true trillionaire/billionaire/millionaire is. All money is fake, at best they are just paper, that's the whole point of modern economy.

I've never wished for a plane crash before but we've never had a trillionaire before either. Today is a day of firsts!

[–] jtrek@startrek.website 6 points 3 weeks ago

I would be happier if he wasn't.

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (5 children)

We have a trillionaire, but we can't afford to give universal health-insurance? The price of food and gas are skyrocketing too? We hand out tax cuts while there is skyrocketing national debt? The only thing we're missing is a meeting of the Estates General and, then, you'd have the makings of the French Revolution.

Elon Musk is made of flesh and bones, just like the rest of us.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

Much more bullshit by volume than the average human, though..

[–] PragmaticOne@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Musk is another chode eating cunt with no real friends.

While I have no doubt that a lot of money would make my life better I know I have genuine friends who I’ve known for more than 30 years.

He has none.

What fucks with me is that there’s probably a couple hundred people richer than him that we’ve never heard of because their money and assets are well hidden.
