“We”? There’s no “we” dipshit, not when you can afford to buy and sell rockets while most working class are living on a diet of beans and rice, suffering roommates to make rent, all while working 40-90hrs a week for $7.50-$15 an hour.
Says the heir to an emerald mine that has never encountered a single ounce of hardship during his entire waste of time on this planet. He's never even built anything, the fucker just buys his way in and takes credit for others' ideas.
Which, btw, he's an idiot for not just staying quiet and letting people praise him. Imagine for a moment he took the ridiculous wealth he has and kept quietly pointing it at things that help everyone. He would have been beloved and had more influence than he does now. All of it probably costing him less. Alongside many other reasons, this fucking dumb as shit shift he made makes me want to crush him and Trump even more.
Cause like wtf, Musk? You had a clear and easy path to all the power and prestige and recognition you could have ever wanted by helping the world. Instead, you turned into an asshole.
I met Elon in ~1999 when they were pitching us integrating their payment system into our software which was run by a number of the largest firms in the world. Have you ever met a group where one of them is clearly a moron but it is also the best at selling? That's Elon. We passed because our company was run by nerds without an ounce of corporate in it, but I can easily see how Elon would "wow" an executive dipshit that doesn't know shit about the product. Elon is a salesman for the tech enthusiasts, not the tech professionals. He sells what they call dreams and we call vaporware.
“Most importantly, we have to reduce spending to live within our means,” he said, adding that these efforts will “involve some temporary hardship, but it will ensure long-term prosperity.”
He has $270.3 billion dollars, which at $50K per year would take almost 3.5 million years to earn, and he's preaching to us about cutting back. What a guy.
He took a bonus of like 60 billion dollars just for running a company that would have been successful without him. That’s money that could have been given to employees that actually make a difference in the company. So again I say F**************CCCKKKK YYYYYYOOOOOOOOO*
When will these conservative dumbfucks learn that austerity never works. They try it over and over in different countries and it literally never works.
i'd rather a few hundred of the wealthiest face hardship for the first time in their lives--first time in generations of their family, for many. we're tired of waiting for the trickle.. it needs to be a downpour.
At first I was asking myself why he would admit this but then I realized Trump voters read this and think, "finally, they'll hurt the right people" and assume they will not be affected.
Later on, Musk said that he would “balance the budget immediately,” adding: “Obviously, a lot of people who are taking advantage of government are going to be upset about that. I’ll probably need a lot of security, but it’s got to be done. And if it’s not done, we’ll just go bankrupt.”
I wonder if he's afraid of backlash from cutting MIC funding.
