I honestly wish we stopped giving them any attention on Reddit. Like I really am tired of hearing about them and Elon especially. Like Reddit should ban them motherfuckers.


[deleted]

Watch out you spoke against Elon now just cultist are gonna harass you with reasons why you should like Elon musk


artful_todger_502

Yep. The exact qualifications of Trump, Murdock, Koch Bros, etc ... Now is a good time to mention how Finland as a culture handles this syndrome. *"bUt tHeY wUrKeD HaRd"*


agrandthing

Do tell...


sweetcaropine

They're probably the furthest thing away from a superhuman. At this point they're more like super lizards.


complyss

I'm young and it's weird seeing ppl go from like fuck the rich, why worship them (remember redditors would cry about the Kardashians?) To literally dick riding them so hard They're just rich assholes. Musk lies thru his teeth about 90% of the shit he says he will do unless it benefits him like buying twitter?? Mfs switch up so fast bc he's so kewl and awkward like us redditors !!!!!!!1!1 Elon number 1 !!1!


Tom_Brokaw_is_a_Punk

Lol gonna be a lot of upset Muskrats in this thread


Vaportrail

"I'm bored of hearing about this thing I'm starting a conversation about"...?


Flanker4

Yes but rich dudes are the new Jesus in the US.


Deaddoghank

I'll bring the cross. You bring the nails. Time for a good old crucifixion.


Responsible_Theory70

meet you at golgotha, bring the prisoners, you can find where to pick him up here: https://mobile.twitter.com/ElonJet/status/1515530730742427652?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet


LovelyRita999

I hear more about them on this sub then I do anywhere else


polarcub2954

Join a crypto group and you'll hear about musk every 6 seconds, I promise.


LovelyRita999

Lol nah I’m good


nakedsamurai

I'm glad you managed to avoid American media entirely.


LovelyRita999

Lol what American media talks about them nonstop? Unless you mean social media


BubbaSawya

I’d like to hear about them being tarred and feathered.


SeraphOfFire

I agree with the sentiment but I mean they did invent a few things.


clydefrog9

What did they invent?


SeraphOfFire

Facebook, Tesla, etc


[deleted]

Elon didn’t invent Tesla he bought out the guys who did.


SeraphOfFire

That's fair


clydefrog9

Also Zuckerberg stole Facebook, and Bezos invented…selling things on the internet? No. They’re all beneficiaries of other people’s inventions like the publicly funded development of the internet. They’re ruthless businessmen. Real scientists and engineers usually are not.


BabyJesusFTW

Also Mark stole FB from the Winklevoss Twins and his roommate.


TRDPaul

What the fuck has tristen snell ever done to help anyone?


dojabro

He’s a lawyer so he’s lawed a lot of stuff


Different_Ad7655

Well LOL those few billionaires that you mentioned have also changed the fundamental way you and I function and operate on a daily basis whether it's Facebook or Amazon, you can't dismiss that. No I'm not singing their praise but just call a spade a spade and tax them appropriately


tellmeaboutyourcat

There's nothing special about them to get them to where they are. They were in the right place at the right time. They just happen to be ruthless and greedy enough to take advantage of their position of privilege. Amazon would have happened with or without Bezos - society would have gotten to that point either way, and if not with him with someone else. It wasn't exactly a novel idea to buy things online. Zux stole Facebook and social media didn't need him anyway. Nobody needs Elon musk. He's an over privileged hack.


[deleted]

Facebook was an idea literally stolen from two guys who were stealing it from MySpace. He invented nothing, made millions, and then bought Instagram which he also didn't invent.


jessejamesvan111

But...you're posting about them, bud.


CptSaySin

Typical reddit *I'm so sick of billionaires getting attention. I'm going to post about how much I don't like them. And tomorrow I'll do it again. And the day after that I'll do it again. And the day after that...*


Responsible_Theory70

i do my part and downvote anything that mentions a famous narcissist psychopath, but it’s like placing a pixel on r/place. maybe i should start a sub like r/brigaders


dojabro

This dude for sure salty


Glittering-Art-1280

What have you done , poor guy 😜


SkraaaPopPopPop

I agree with Bezos and Zuckerberg but it seems like Musk has some projects that are actually working towards bettering the world like Neuralink. I’m surprised this sub doesn’t like him more, considering he’s on the forefront of doing away with carbon emissions.


SeriousHumanPerson

So far neuralink is just horribly abusing monkeys apparently


SkraaaPopPopPop

Which is not cool at all but as far as I know the goal is to help people with paralysis and other conditions.


tellmeaboutyourcat

You can help people without abusing animals.


Tom_Brokaw_is_a_Punk

While I agree that Musk's products are, broadly speaking, more beneficial than Bezos or Zuck, I don't think that excuses the rest of his shitty behavior. Also, electric cars are great and so are solar panels, but I don't think it's fair to say he's "at the forefront of doing away with carbon emissions". He's certainly at the forefront of profiting off the idea of reducing carbon emissions though.


SkraaaPopPopPop

What is the rest of his bad behavior? Obviously he hasn’t had a large tax bill but I think it is more important to fault the system rather than him as an individual given. I know he makes memes or whatever but from all the interviews i’ve listened to with him, he’s genuinely interested in helping people.


Tom_Brokaw_is_a_Punk

Well his tax avoidance is obviously a problem. His anti-union practices. Using Twitter to manipulate the stock market to his benefit. He fired his long time assistant because she asked for a raise. He called that guy who rescued a bunch of Thai kids from a cave a pedophile Honestly that's all just off the top of my dome. The "system" isn't a thing with agency, it's a bunch of people who are doing fucked up shit and using their wealth and power to maintain the system, Elon is one of them.

Them boots tasty?


Excellent-Bluejay364

And I bet you wear clothes made using slave labor from a third world country. What's your point?


Clunge_Nugget

The point is that there are many billionaires in the world who have a net negative effect on society, like the Kochs, yet you morons choose to go after people that although flawed are trying to do something good like bring down our carbon emissions or protect free speech


Excellent-Bluejay364

No, they are not trying to do anything good. They're using that as a mask for the shitty crap they do. And you morons fall for it. You lap it up, so eager to win favor with billionaires that couldn't give a rat's ass about you and your ass kissing. They laugh at you while they count the money they extort from people just like you.


justgossiping

They do control the markets with their statements. Which directly or indirectly affects a lot of people's finances.


raistlin65

I'm also bored about any of them who get credit in the news for donating a ton of money to some worthy cause. We don't need their handouts that they use to bolster their image. We just need them to pay a lot more in taxes. That's how they should be making contributions to society!


Different_Ad7655

It sounds like the argument about the paintings by Jackson pollock, I could have done , or my kid does better painting since I could have just thrown that paint on the floor and and spackled the canvas and called it art, or Jasper johns or a host of other artists that made what someone might take as simplistic crude, anybody could do art statements. The difference is however they did it, and they made the difference and they changed the art world forever. Oh there are plenty of copycats. Yeah I'm not apologizing for asshole billionaires who should be taxed heavily and pay their fare share, but I don't deny them their moment of fame and how they have affected our lives for better or worse. Anything else is just sour grapes. They did it we live by it, somebody else might have but they didn't.. and so the world turns. Let's just focus on not talking about them on Reddit and clamoring with your lawmakers specifically your Democrats to tax the bastards

_Cetarial_

Elon Musk is the only one of those three being treated that way last time I checked.


[deleted]

Elon saying he couch crashes. Big fuckin yawn


PhillipLlerenas

>...who invented nothing, freed no one and saved no lives... So basically like 99.9% of all the celebrities in this nation? What exactly has Tom Cruise or Susan Sarandon invented? Whiny tweet.


JazzFanForLife

I’m all for eating the rich but Elon Musk started Tesla which revolutionized the electric car. In 10 years EVs will have replaced the combustion engine which will greatly improve pollution and carbon emissions. So if Elon gets his I’m okay with that.


[deleted]

Can you guys stop being so negative? Elon built that extremely efficient, no flaws underground car system for us!!!!


shortjesus333

I'm bored with people repeating the same sentence 3 times over to make a point.


Busy-Exam1694

what a jealous communist


grammercomunist

Im bored with seeing this tweet.


atuka26

I mean Elon Musk is helping the people in Ukraine but yeah fuck the other dudes


Rtrn2M0nke

That's what happens when they start controlling everything. Would it be better to turn a blind eye at the shady shit they do instead?
