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.

He needs to be guillotined.

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.

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 anarchy

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.

Any of us could simply pinch in to make him a trillionaire-not-for-long, just saying.

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 16 points 1 month ago

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 continue to hope that he suffers from a mass overdose.

[–] JiveTurkey@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That actually seems too peaceful for this turd. I'd be okay with him living but watching as he loses everything.

[–] zout@fedia.io 13 points 1 month ago

I think you're seeing it wrong. In my mind, gone is gone, good riddance.

An overdose of lead, applied rapidly.

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.

I've never wished for a plane crash before but we've never had a trillionaire before either. Today is a day of firsts!

[–] PragmaticOne@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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.

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

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

If you being a trillionaire (perhaps even a billionaire were're talking about Musk) relies entirely on overinflated market valuation ans not your actual physical assets value, then you don't have that money.

You do realize that you can become a trillionaire for a day either, don't you? Just create a company, enter the market, emit gazillion actions and convince someone to buy it from you for a couple of bucks. Boom, all your gazillion actions are now worth that money. Try to avoid tax office at this point though.

He's such a goddamned symptom

[–] Sunflier@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

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.

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.

And the stupid workings of economic logic will make him a multi-trillionaire soon. The rich get richer is the rule.

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.
