And what's sad is that he's wealthier than everyone that uses lemmy, combined.

Why the fuck does good shit always happen to bad people, and good people always get shit on?

Probably not a popular opinion around here, but this is actually one of the rare cases where he is (was) extremely talented at his main thing (producing). That doesn't mean he deserves that disproportionate amount of wealth, but he's contributed more to culture than elon ever could.

This is basically undeniable, but what really makes me sad is the artists who don't seem to be Nazis or even right wing but still support this dude and stand up for him because he's been so influential on many of them.

You don't get wealthy if you're good, because it takes a certain amount of greed and materialism
