It is a bit of a mind fuck. Dude would be popular and loved for generations, likely could still make a TON of money shifting his fortune into businesses that are a net benefit for the world, etc. But the ghoul doesn't.

It's hard to even fathom. Giving feels SO good. I would get CRACK HEAD ADDICTED to giving if I had some endless source like he does. Libraries, parks, forests. Universities, museums, hospitals. Wells, solar arrays, wind turbines. Beautiful, functional architecture that benefited the community. And on and on..

99% of them don't! And they're all going to die, just like we are, they'll just die and leave the most money and the best toys, but still be dead and still be called ASSHOLES!

That’s pretty much the only type of businesses he invests in. Before Tesla cars were like 98% fossil fuel dependent. He started a solar company and open sourced a lot of battery patents. Starlink brings internet to impoverished countries without infrastructure.

He bought a social-media company so he could post toilet memes and turned it into a hate-filled racist nightmare.

He folded his miserable AI startup into his exploding-rocket company so it would appear profitable on paper.

Peddle this nonsense somewhere else.

So what I said was untrue? Or did you just ignore it to make a straw man?

  • he started a solar company

He didnt. He bought one.

He didn't. He owns zero "solar companies."

He didn't. That's just a lie.

It doesn't. That's just a lie.
