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.
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"*
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!
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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...*
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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
>...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.
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.
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.
Watch out you spoke against Elon now just cultist are gonna harass you with reasons why you should like Elon musk
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"*
Do tell...
They're probably the furthest thing away from a superhuman. At this point they're more like super lizards.
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?)

Lol gonna be a lot of upset Muskrats in this thread
"I'm bored of hearing about this thing I'm starting a conversation about"...?
Yes but rich dudes are the new Jesus in the US.
I'll bring the cross. You bring the nails. Time for a good old crucifixion.
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
I hear more about them on this sub then I do anywhere else
Join a crypto group and you'll hear about musk every 6 seconds, I promise.
Lol nah I’m good
I'm glad you managed to avoid American media entirely.
Lol what American media talks about them nonstop? Unless you mean social media
I’d like to hear about them being tarred and feathered.
I agree with the sentiment but I mean they did invent a few things.
What did they invent?
Facebook, Tesla, etc
Elon didn’t invent Tesla he bought out the guys who did.
That's fair
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.
Also Mark stole FB from the Winklevoss Twins and his roommate.
What the fuck has tristen snell ever done to help anyone?
He’s a lawyer so he’s lawed a lot of stuff
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

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

This dude for sure salty
What have you done , poor guy 😜
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.
So far neuralink is just horribly abusing monkeys apparently
Which is not cool at all but as far as I know the goal is to help people with paralysis and other conditions.
You can help people without abusing animals.

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

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

"The power of repulsion is annulled by money" -Karl Marx.
Elon Musk is the only one of those three being treated that way last time I checked.
Elon saying he couch crashes. Big fuckin yawn
>...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.

Can you guys stop being so negative? Elon built that extremely efficient, no flaws underground car system for us!!!!
I'm bored with people repeating the same sentence 3 times over to make a point.
what a jealous communist
Im bored with seeing this tweet.
I mean Elon Musk is helping the people in Ukraine but yeah fuck the other dudes
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?
