    The most accurate predictor for wealth in the US is how much money your parents had. Like this is a fact anyone can easily know

    Requires you to tie up some of your identity in that person. You see yourself in them. Which is ridiculous

    And I think that yearning for identity takes us full circle to a generation of young men - isolated by the Internet - that are clinging to their darkest impulses. Devoid of morality.

    People are always shocked that making money the only motivating factor leads to immorality. Why would morality ever even be a consideration? There's no incentive. The people at the top are inherently devoid of it. That's how they got there.

    The only way to express your identity in capitalism is through consumption as well. The things you buy, the fast food you stan for, the phone you have, the billionaire and his company

    you see it so much in "scoreboard" people when they're referencing their wealth

    its the only thing that matters to a lot of people whether real or perceived financial prosperity

    It’s just the opposite though. Any person that has made insane amounts of money has to have fucked over so many people to get their. That type of wealth should be on the list of identifying sociopaths. Small business owners believing they can become him is silly.

    You are so bad at this and please know we see this transparent passive aggressive shitposting for what it is.

    To add, talking about sucking off a dude isn’t homophobia. Seeing that as something bad, on the other hand, is.

    And again it requires racism to explain the almost complete absence of minorities at the top.

    Musk is nerd Trump. Post truth fraud that is never held accountable for anything he says or does. It’s great to see the tide (seemingly) turning.

    When “I think this guy is smart” gets the response of wow imagine sucking off billionaires…must be emasculating, your head has to be pretty deep in the sand to not see that as a homophobic post.

    You tagging me and calling me a stupid motherfucker while pretending to give a shit what my opinion is was shitposting as well.

    Hope you find something better to do with your time than obsess over what I think on this inane issue.

    I honestly, and I am being serious here, wonder how a mind that reads all this and still capes for this moron, works? I wonder the same thing about Trump supporters who watch a literal dipshit spew nonsense that a third grades would call stupid yet treat every word as gospel.

    How does this happen to people, who should honestly be smart enough to know they are following a complete and utter moron, who sit and ignore every ounce of what should be common sense , and drink these idiots kool aid?

    I believe any person that falls for this or Trump shit are stupid motherfuckers, and since you’re the person doing it here, I ask you.

    Anyone who has ever “followed” Musk (whatever that means but I’ll assume invested with) has almost certainly made a fuckload of money. I don’t “follow” Musk and have not invested in any of his companies.

    And I despise Trump and republicans in general. Stop projecting.

    Elon's a free speech guy though right? Are you implying that he bought the family's silence for a self-driving horse?

    Elon besmirched the hell out of their son to escape legal liability for the misleading claims over the capabilities of the technology. Even though the guy was Elon's number one Stan. It's a doc on Hulu not an article btw. So many clips of Elon saying fully autonomous self-driving vehicles were two years away and the engineers working on it talking about how full of shit he is.

    Oh he's certainly full of shit. Just saying I wouldn't be shocked if they got $100m to sign an NDA. I'd like to think I'd turn it down and go on a lifelong campaign against the guy I felt killed my child but everyone has a price so I won't judge them if that's the case.

    Tesla and Elon are both far too cash poor to buy expensive NDA's every time these crashes happen. There are two others in the doc that are basically identical incidents. Tesla is a house of cards. They've never issued a single dividend to any shareholder. That's a giant red flag.
