He only had $2000 on him, the rest was in the bank/daddies bank

Now I'm imagining him as dale gribble, but with verdant blinding powder. Which isn't exceptionally far off the mark.

Yeah, lol. $2000 was what he kept in his wallet, just in case he wanted to make a few impulse purchases at the airport.

Yep. There was probably like a month of his daddy not being able to send money because of opening a bank account after moving or something, which is why he is now larping as "i was so poor"

For real, can't believe I enjoyed a David fucking Icke comment

[–] underscores@lemmy.zip 96 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Here's the thing: obscenely rich people can say whatever and literally everyone will believe it because the average human thinks "he has lots of money therefore he is smart and worked his way up and if I use this as a judge of his character then he is unlikely to lie"

It's a huge cultural issue that pervades everything, money is not virtue.

[–] Flower@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's classic circular reasoning.

"He's so rich because he's hard working and smart."

"How do you know he's so hard working?"

"Because lazy and dumb people don't get rich, duh."

To many, rich parents, dumb luck, lack or morals and a huge pile of debt don't play a role.

Nah, that's not how it works. People believe it because they can pay people to repeat their lies, and their success buys them a seat in main-stream media interviews where they can broadcast their bullshit to millions of people. And in Musk's case, he can just buy a social media company and force it to boost his excreta.

[–] underscores@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Dude, Epstein himself was about to release an "interview" where he's this approachable cool guy and he's just eccentric. I bet you it would have worked if released as planned.

Yes there are bot accounts pushing narratives but that doesn't stop people from going "whoa everyone must be wrong about him"

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 31 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Does Musk really want to bring up his apparently illegal activities in that era considering the current ICE climate regarding those who have a history of immigration violations?

Atlanta immigration attorney Charles Kuck says Musk stating that he had a J-1 visa makes it clear he worked illegally, given the restrictions that would have only allowed work in connection with his academic program.

“So clearly, he’s admitting now that in fact, he did work illegally and violate his status. The only question is at that point, what did he do to fix his status violation?” Kuck says.

Imagine ICE grabbing Musk and treating him like they treat anyone else and then deporting him to some random African nation with a history of enslaving people.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

He can buy and sell the agency multiple times. Milo got deported because despite being loud, he probably has pretty average savings. We've seen right-wing sorts get bludgeoned by the leopard hammer. None of them have been extremely wealthy. It won't happen.

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 11 points 1 month ago

You're right, of course, but don't interrupt my fantasy. And let's be honest, he couldn't buy or sell anything if ICE grabbed him, sent him to a shit-hole facility in some random state and refused to allow him access to a phone to call anyone. Damn... I'm getting close.

[–] zbyte64@awful.systems 7 points 1 month ago

Milo got in trouble for criticising Isreal. Maybe if he sucked off Trump like Loomer did he might still be on this side of the pond.

David Icke finds an elite who isn’t a lizard, chooses violence.

I wonder how he feels about Peter Thiel considering his name is an anagram for THE REPTILE

when your statement is so absurd that David "Lizard People" Icke calls you out for wanting people to believe it

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 month ago

You know it’s bad when David Icke calls you out.

I didn't think I'd ever agree with the guy who says reptilians are controlling world governments, but here we are.

They each held a cheque for a few hundred thousand but he is self made because he had to deposit them himself before he had an assistant but after he started losing his hair.

What he means is that he had roughly $2K in cash on him when he landed. For a gentle landing. From Papa Musk's mines.

Oh dear god.

Are we really at the point where ... David Icke is saying things that actually make sense?

[–] CalypsoGirl@lemmy.today 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

He's a disinformation agent. Enough of what he says is logical, so that when he spews bullshit, people either believe the bullshit too, or disregard everything that has ever and will ever come out of his mouth. I'm on Team B.

Watching David Ike go after Elon musk is a bit like Nigel Farage calling JK Rowling a bigoted ecomaniac, you don't expect it.

Can’t wait until musk is dead. Preferably by being launched into space aimed directly at the sun.

Him dying on Mars because of his own absolutely stupid planning would be a lot funnier though

That is untrue, we all know musk was a emarald mine inheritor. But truth means mothing.

As Micheal Flynn said, nobody that we need will believe this, or something like that. Not one of the their patrons will even see this information, because fox put them all into an echo chamber way back.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

And then depended on socialized system to support him while he used it to advance himself.

“Self made” is bullshit.

There probably hasn’t been a real self-made wealthy person in a century.

Everyone got some kind of assistance. Whether it be the public schools, parent’s money, or loans, they all got a hand up and in the case of parental wealth they got a handout.

People constantly dismiss the social system that propped them up with schools, libraries, free or reduced cost school lunches, government grants, scholarships, or even a GI Bill as soon as they get rich they “did it all themselves.”

Had a troll try to parrot this propaganda in a furry MUCK. I told them that they were facist dick sucking nazi and told them that their days were numbered. I got banned from the furry MUCK for the "death threat." if threatening a nazi is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Good for you. All of us need to call them out, pierce their echo chambers.
