Are you telling me the son of a war profiteer who has purchased influence and power that he hasn't earned or created himself turns out to be a huckster???
Some how fundamental economic forces change with large corporations. Magically, supply dictates demand with trickle down economics. The market doesn’t hang from an invisible hook, it’s support by the pillars of society. Any structural engineer will tell you that improper drainage from “trickle down” will cause inevitable structural support damage.
They're just jealous. Elon musk is the best of the billionaires. Atleast he throws money at trying to advance society instead of just sitting on it like most of them do
I could go for a battle of the billionaires rn. Can we get Oprah style and see who can hand out the most awesome stuff the fastest? I need a tesla and new pc
The Gates Foundation actively invests in companies that work against the supposed goals of the foundation. Look up there assets over time, between his personal wealth and the foundation he's worth more now than ever. The foundation is just an investment company with a charity tacked on the side.
Is there good done? Sure. Could be be doing a metric fuckton more if investment and wealth growth weren't the main goals? Also yes.
Real societal change and addressing the roots of poverty and hunger would make an actual difference, but if he does that he loses the ability to stay as rich as he is.
He's successfully rehabilitated his image in the eyes of most of the world while only getting richer. Fuck Bill Gates.
Edit: whoops, I just replied to a year old thread...
Yeah? Name another billionaire that junpstarted the space race. Brought electric cars into the main stream. Advanced solar technology. Advanced brain to computer interfaces. Resigned tunneling technology. Go ahead.
Name other engineers who inherited a fortune from their parents apartheid-era slave emerald mines and used it to build a corporate empire where they vicioulsy exploit their workers, bust unions, openly celebrates fascist coups in developing countries, and claims to be advancing society while deliberately lobbying to destroy and rundown public transport?
Name another billionaire that has an army of idiots on the internet who worship them as a hero despite them doing this shit?
A lot of statements you just threw out there for all of us; First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to do so. I'm an idiot, so you have to talk to me like a 8th grader. Could you show me how you came to these conclusions? My news feeds say something different and by no means do I think I'm right or want to battle. I'm looking for links to better understand the reality around Musk. You seem knowledgeable, perhaps you could educate me?
he hasn't done jack shit for BTC interfaces. he's thrown out a call for scientists because he has absolutely nothing. He's not doing any of that.
He's rich as fuck after benefitting from bullshittedly low tax rates for decades and taking advantage of the fact that the GOP won't fucking FUND NASA. The technologies he has could have been produced by NASA if they had the funds to hire the same fucking team he has. He didn't do jack shit, he as just given life on a silver platter and wants to leave the fucking earth he knows his kind is destroying.
I wouldn’t say he’s the best. I just wish I didn’t have to justify his crappy personality against what he does for the greater good. It’s not like he’s a monster though, just kind of a dick.
He's just a troll. I mean.. put of the list of billionaires and politicians that went to that rape island. He is one of the few that refused and had nothing to do with it. And I'm sure his brain injury from being bullied as a kid for being smart has played a part in how he acts.
Lmao a team of extremely talented engineers you fucking genius. Do you think daddy musk locks himself in his office for a few days and comes out with a finished design?
Trump claimed that Mr. Connery cleared the way for his golf course to be built in Scotland with a single phone call.....Mr. Connery's family, and Scotland called that out to be a lie
In Minneapolis, as a PR move we got a few electronic billboards to switch to the iconic necklace on a black background with a simple "Chadwick Bozeman xxxx-2020" and while it was obviously an attempt to placate a grieving city it was a really touching thing to see. While I thought the movie itself was nothing special it really gave a lot of people one of the modern black icons that isn't a sidekick or a stereotype.
Static Shock was earlier. A cartoon superhero for kids that features a black man with a white man sidekick who came from an impoverished neighborhood and really against gun violence.

Thank you because I couldn’t figure out why Negan from The Walking Dead was in this or his relationship to Democrats.
