      And with that 25% tax he would still have more money than he could ever spend. These billionaires are not humans, their ghouls. They deserve our hate.

        For them money is just a highscore. They either win or lose, the actual amount doesn’t matter at all.

        The asshole could spend a thousand lifetimes just lying on the beach and sipping cocktails and he’d still be a billionaire.

    You could do a lot of good with that money. Like, build a ton of housing. Replace some lead pipes or other hazardous infrastructure. Pay some medical debt.

    Instead he does this.

    I won’t be mad if Musk meets a sudden end. I just hope it’s a really embarrassing one.

      He’s going to spend $45M/mo on Twitter ads for Donald Trump. What could be a better investment than that?

    If you’re too stupid to vote for Biden to save America from Fascism (talking to you, Tankies), at least vote for him to make Elon Musk waste a bunch of money.

      The rich and powerful of the nation are coordinating to usher in fascism at lightning speed, and you’re worried about the 500 pinkos who won’t vote Biden because of his complicity in genocide? You’ve taken the same side as MAGA in blaming all the country’s problems on leftists. It is misdirection. You’ve been effortlessly oriented to be so wickedly invested in American electoralism, that you now have zero reservations about voting for candidates who both want genocide.

      In 30 years, will you still be militantly democrat when the choice is between a dem who wants 5 genocides and a republican who wants 10?

      Fascism Is Possible Not in Spite of Liberal Capitalism, but Because of It

      Edit: Also, Musk could continue doing these monthly payments for the next 460 years without making another cent ever again. This notion of “wasting his money” is silly. Each month takes a mere 0.02% hit on his account.

      Elon: “I’m giving Trump $45M/mo using subsidies I’ve collected from the American federal government.”

      Lemmy Guy: “Oh yeah, well I’m still voting for Joe Biden!”

      Joe Biden: “You, uh, I won’t stop, um… We gotta buy more Teslas, Jack! To save the planet!”
