A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

He just happened to get lucky and invest in 3 of the most influential technology companies of the past decade despite basically the entire planet telling him it won't be possible.
He just got lucky 🙄
This is a stupid fucking way to attack Elon. There are better ways to point out he's a drug addicted criminal.
And also lucky to have been born in the right family.
Yes he had starter capitol. 200m being generous. His investments have outpaced the stock market by a magnitude of 25. More than that probably.
He is likely the most successful investor on the plant at the moment where he has out performed the richest of the rich.
The guy is a fuck face but this meme/argument that he was just lucky for 25 years on multiple live changing tech is silly. He might be bi polar but he clearly knows good tech and how to nurture a company.
Because he does pump and dump shit. He tried it with Twitter when he "offered" to buy it, but was forced to follow though this time.
When he tried to weasel out of the Twitter buy, I bought a bunch of stock because I knew he couldn't get out of it and it was way over the valuation.
Musk being a dumb fucking shit head helped me make some good money. My only regret was not buying more.
People who defend him claim he's a super genius who invented electric cars and space shuttles straight out of his balls, so it does make sense to call out the fact that he himself didn't create any of these companies and he's not the one doing any of the development, all he has is money, all he does is shout and put his X on other people's things.
Where do you hang out all day? /r/conservative?
You need to escape your algo/bubble. Nobody argues he's a in weeds engineer since SpaceX outside of engagement bait.
Y'all go in circles with each other and repeat this stuff far more often than you'll find it in real life.
This is what capitalism gets you. You don't get leaders who get where they are thanks to their hard work or that they're better at what they do than others, you get entitled shitheads who never work a day in their lives and get everything handed to them, with zero work ethics and zero knowledge of how to do anything.
Yeah, whn you shot-gun spray your investments, you're bound to get lucky.
What about:
When you're born into financial security, you can try dumb shit, and you're bound to get lucky.
If you're born into financial security and you're a grifter/scammer - you're bound to become a billionaire.
I was unaware successful people were not allowed any failure. I guess we'll just ignore that and his objectively better performance than every other rich person 🤷♂️
Musk is stupid as fuck and has failed upwards his whole life due to being born rich. He's basically a sentient bank account. If you had any professional experience in the areas Musk talks about you would see how fucking dumb he is.
Your assessment doesn't really work if you look at his success compared to just about anyone. That includes much much richer fucks. I understand he has advantages but objectively he performs far better than his peers. He's also accumulated quite a bit of policy power, again more than his peers.
Your assumptions are backwards. Its all probability and he is the luckiest of the rich dipshits. Its why he is so insecure, he hasn't achieved much through merit. A smart person in his position would've fucked off already.
As "successful" as Elisabeth Holmes. She had "objectively the best performance than every other rich woman!".
Honestly, you kids have your brains fried by these scam-artists. Your measure of "success" is so, so sad and pathetic.
My guy. He turned 200m into 305B. Definitely not successful. I'm quite brain washed I guess 🤣
Yes, you are.
You willingly ignore any argument in favour of "BUT VIRTUAL NUMBER BIG".
That's either being brainwashed or pure stupidity.
Name a single more successful investor in the past 40 years.
So the latter, huh.
My man here takes a minute to think and comes up with "BUT... BUT VIRTUAL NUMBER BIG" contra argument... Again.
Guy, you want to ignore really and go on your feelings of truthiness as far as I can tell.
Your fragile "reality" is based on the covers of Forbes, where one day you're "most successful investor" and the next day you're sentenced for 25 years in jail for fraud.
So you can't?
Oh, we're back at "UNGA BUNGA VIRTUAL NUMBER BIG" shit again. Wow, you're really making those 2 braincels work really hard, and nothing else is coming out, huh...
I mean, it tracks, since your idol is a dumbass nazi oligarch, whose only chance of not being sentenced for fraud was getting into the government.
Done wasting my time here, is like haveing a discussion eith a breezeblock
I think he's an insufferable cunt who should be luigi'ed. Please don't put words in my mouth.
I'm just willing to be objective on his success both from a political and financial view. You do yourself a disservice characterizing your enemy and buying into the memes.
He is winning. He is beating the shit out of everything you care about. You are being trounced having your rights stolen by a bumbling lucky idiot? 🤦♂️
