    Musk may be the richest man on earth, but there’s several things he craves that none of that money can ever buy. Like respect. Love. Being able to hold your pee. A working dick.

    You know, the simple quiet enjoyments the majority of working class people don’t have nearly as much issues with.

      The funny thing is that money can definitely buy respect, Carnegie and Rockefeller still have their names scattered about from their so called philanthropy and earned a grudging respect from it. With a fraction of his wealth Musk could’ve done a small but notable infrastructure and building deal in a small town or two and utterly revived them. Viola grudging respect.

        Money, baby. He still (alas) has enough right now he could afford to primary every single Republican that is hard-core Maga, and potentially make Trump a lame duck for two years(depending on how the cult views all this). Which would mean that Trump would no longer be newsworthy, and would drive him up a fucking wall. Of course, then we would have to deal with a new political power and cult of musk
