He's doing good things with his money. Better in his hands than government or charity orgs.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

Wouldn't hurt him to donate a couple hundred billion.... Maybe start a science foundation or something. Jesus fuck I'm not a socialist and I don't hate him or feel resentment, I quite like him, but he needs to do some serious charity.

Love him or loathe him. The leftists will be coming for Musk. His technomemelord persona will only get him so far before backlash.

He controls the world's #1 woke platform already (Twitter) and he's jokingly asked Zuck if he can buy Facebook though Zuck would say no. He should buy Reddit too. Soon he will shut down all leftist shitstorm Internet platforms and the world will be able to return to normal sane opinions.

Cool, now we should tax the shit out of it.

And how do you propose doing that?

Didn't he pay more in taxes last year than any other person in history?

Yeah but what if he paid more.

Now that would be Utopia.

Which is the way it should be...he's worth the most...

Even on a much smaller scale, everyone wants something from you, and a subset of people will hate you and want you to suffer without knowing you at all. It becomes more difficult to find sincerity in the world. You basically have to stick to people in similar socioeconomic status.

So he can legitimately talk to like five people and has no true friends? Still a better life then Zuck.

The hood done by space x is far better than any charity,
Advancing space exploration requires tech that solves myriads of problems here on earth, battery tech, non-fossil energy, ag tech, carbon capture, and more
Also he doesn't have 300 billion dollars Forbes estimates his wealth at 300 billion, this ranges from any property and cash he has to stocks, bonds and other investments to the very nebulous things like the value of a privately held company

 

[Xenon]

The man seems genuinely interested in using his wealth and love of technology to create a better future. His respect for capitalism and freedom of speech is pretty cool too.

I had a friend of mine legitimately tell me that in a world where Elon Musk fucked off with his Paypal money we would still be talking about electric cars and reusable rockets.

Bro, prior to Musk rockets landing on their tails was Buck Rodgers-esque science fiction, and EV's were Yuropean Fag-mobiles.
