It's very concerning that the richest person to have ever lived is a full Blut und Boden fascist. This should be but probably won't be a wakeup call to all decent people worldwide that something is very wrong with capitalism. And not just capitalism, but very advanced and deeply embedded capitalism. Musk is an evil fuck, and no amount of money can buy him a soul.
He's also a moron. The fact that he is the most successful confidence man in the world, says a lot about our world now. Companies trading at hundreds of times their intrinsic values.
Mansa Musa is a fascist!? I'd never have known.
Tbh it doesn't matter to me whether he's a billionaire or trillionaire (of course there's a huuge financial difference, but both is way too much already). He's just the most prominent ugly symptom of capitalism. No permanent fix to prevent this unless we get rid of these systems.
You simultaneously said we should fix the system while not caring about the class that warped the system in the first place.
You have to get rid of both. The system that allows the disparity and the wealth to warp it. If there is wild disparity it will always seek to bend the system further in its favor, and the only way to prevent that is to kill the disparity.
I didn't read it that way. I read it as the difference between billionaire and trillionaire being irrelevant, neither should be a thing.
The systems and the rich both need to go. I'd argue that those who disagree should too.
ah yes, the class wars between the poor peasants, the billionaires and the trillionaires
while not caring about the class that warped the system in the first place.
No, I did not say that. I said they're a symptom and that the magnitude of their property is not the main problem - the existence of accumulated property is. Of course we need to redistribute their wealth to the people. That's part of the system change.
As the billionaires multiply their wealth by a factor of 1000, so too do I multiply my personal hatred for them, and so too does the social urgency of their abolition multiply 
nuthin a bullet couldnt fix.
There is an epidemic of lead deficiency.
He's a fucking Nazi.
I know you say that as a slur like he's the worst person in the world. Because we don't yet consider anything worse than nazis/fascists. Like it was our latest media thing of how bad people can be. But I think it's worse than that.
It's still doesn't offset how much of a loser he is....
Honestly feel it makes him more of a loser
Uncle Scrooge, a caricature or capitalism, was a saint by comparison
he did eventually see the error of his ways, billionaires have no 3 ghosts, except epsteins.
Fake trillionaire because if he ever tried to liquidate his holdings it would crash the world economy. Of course our wonderful financial system allows him to borrow against his fake wealth and leave the rest of us holding the bag
Fake trillionaire
I wonder what you believe a true trillionaire/billionaire/millionaire is. All money is fake, at best they are just paper, that's the whole point of modern economy.
Any of us could simply pinch in to make him a trillionaire-not-for-long, just saying.
I had a thought about it.
Elon Musk has 14 children.
If you chop off his head, there will be 14 more billionaires. Elon Musk is the Hydra.
I've never wished for a plane crash before but we've never had a trillionaire before either. Today is a day of firsts!
Musk is another chode eating cunt with no real friends.
While I have no doubt that a lot of money would make my life better I know I have genuine friends who I’ve known for more than 30 years.
He has none.
He's such a goddamned symptom
We have a trillionaire, but we can't afford to give universal health-insurance? The price of food and gas are skyrocketing too? We hand out tax cuts while there is skyrocketing national debt? The only thing we're missing is a meeting of the Estates General and, then, you'd have the makings of the French Revolution.
This is fine.
Less thoughts, more rage
Honestly, I don't think it matters much. America is just printing money for the fun of it, so it doesn't really affect us. The money isn't coming from us, it's just endless leverage.
The US is on an inevitable road to hyperinflation so again, it's not really anybody else's problem.
Show it to me? All I see is numbers on a screen. Where's the gold to back it up. No? Then no trillionare.
Tbf, gold is mostly only valuable as a social construct like cash or the numbers on the screen.
We're witnessing the rise of corporate nation-hood. Corporations and their governing boards or tyrants are getting bigger than most nation states, and a lot of their workers are more loyal to the company/CEO than their country. They have personal security forces. We're definitely in a period of increasing acuteness and concentration, not a period of release and expansion. Hopefully the catharsis results in something better than the Pax Americana, which only produced a society of navel-gazing retards.
I would be happier if he wasn't.
