The thing is - no matter how rich he'll ever be or how much power he'll get. He is, and forever will be, one of the biggest fucking losers this world has ever seen.
This gives me enough comfort to sleep at night.

Hitler was also a loser before he went to war with the world. This fucking loser has enough money to fund his own army and start a war. Dude already has the tech to create ballistic missiles. Yeah he is a loser but also dangerous because of his enormous wealth.
Also just absolutely miserable. It makes me warm knowing the dipshit feels constantly inadequate and constantly alone.
All that money and he can’t even buy a friend, love, or the attention of his many children.
It really is the roaring 20s all over again! Hell yes! Even have Republicans in charge of everything again! Party like it's 1928!!! /s
My controversial opinion:
We did this with sci-fi.
Too many people think their future actually looks like Star Trek or Mars terraforming movies or whatever, and buy Musk’s claim he’s going to make humanity an interplanetary race.
But it doesn’t work like that.
Space travel is impossibly hard. It is just impractical for human bodies, as they exist now, outside of specific scientific missions. Physics dictates that it is expensive. Quantify it, and basically, civilization woukd have to advance to a point where our Earth problems are already trivial to even begin mass manned space travel.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for drone work in space, crazy science missions, and beautiful, hopeful speculative sci fi.
But I feel like the population needs a cold bucket of water. Space travel is not going to save us; Earth is all we got for now.
True, but at this point, I'm not sure if we even deserve the earth we are on.
As proven by the voting public, too many people live in a fantasy land where the impossible is possible, like making lying cheaters into honest presidents. I don’t understand what benefit anybody thinks they could get from a space station on Mars. It’s not like they’re gonna get to live there or get any of the benefits from it. It must be the same people that refused to place any restrictions on Billionaires, like taxes, somehow they think a billionaire base on Mars is good for them.
That’s exactly what they think. They literally think Elon Musk is going to take them to Mars and automate work with AI robots and such, because nothing in their information sphere ever contradicts it.
It’s not fair to expect the average person to understand orbital mechanics, but putting them in an information bubble like Musk has is not fair to them.
It would probably work out better for everybody if he actually did take them to Mars.
It really does amaze me how so many people give him the time of day. I'm not sure his presence in any venture has been a net positive for them at the end of the day.
Every company he has ever touched succeeded at what they were doing despite his constant fuckery.
Here's my theory; the volume of trading was tiny, Yahoo finance says $500M. This is chump change that any of the billionaires that bought into X can throw in without thinking about it. What's stopping these people from propping up the value up until they can get it into the index funds and then dumping the bag on the consumer? Nothing.
The worst thing is everyone's 401k is gonna be left holding the bag.
I called it way WAAAAY before Trumpocalypse. I said "they shut down services and fuck over customers all the time, why not fuck over a frail old man, who then won't have the money for a lawyer?".
Platinum bars are the only retirement plan worth investing in.
Man, all this time the BUY GOLD grandpas were right.

It will never not be funny to me that most white supremacists look like their mom drank bleach in order to abort them.
Behold, the master race:

Damn. That's the face of a man that aliens would take a look at and go nope not abducting this one.
Man this is great! My theory is the simulation ends when the first person hits a trillion. If that’s the case then this hellscape is almost over everyone! Someone finally won the damn game and we can all log out!
That was the case, but they got a new grant and now the simulation goes to quadrillion
Holy fuck your mod log is... Christ...
Mostly from people overreacting and misattributing malice. Literally some of the most innocuous shit gets misinterpreted and then things spiral
I dunno man, as someone married to trans person, who also has a girlfriend who's transgender, you're kind of a straight up asshole.
Based on what are you making that judgement? A series of truncated comments out of context? Because that's basically all you can see. You don't have a clue what I was saying other than that. So you're just taking the mod's word for it that I was being transphobic, and that the mod wasn't just overreacting?
Literally nothing I said in that entire exchange was transphobic, but I got attacked with a series of strawman arguments by people assuming what I was trying to say. Kinda like you're doing now. See how easily that happens?
Somebody’s been watching Sword Art Online.
I have no economic knowledge or trading ability, here's my very important prediction...
...this is a huge rug pull and the billionaires in on it are going to make a lot of money.
The trillionaire. He's a trillionaire now.
Short it and short it often. If enough people did it would really suck for the doge nazi.
Please have at least some knowledge of how the stock market works before uttering bullshit.
When this bubble pops we are all fucked.
Not everyone, just the avarage person. Billionaires will be just fine and completely safe frome the consequences.
They'll probably make way more money still, somehow
