It's like nobody is even trying to kill him.
Um, that's fucked up. I hate billionaires as much as the next person, and Elon is absolutely a terrible and dangerous asshole, but it's fucked up to say you'd like someone took murder him.
That being said, I'd love to him bankrupt and in jail.
Whoosh. OP was using Musk's own words against him.
Also, he deserves to be murdered, so.
Ah. Well, then... Fuck me.
I have returned to witness your humbling, you are forgiven.
You are right though, Elon is fucked up. Fucked right up.
I have appreciated Lemmy's gentleness... Sorry for misconstruing your reference.
Man, my reception was NOT gentle, consider yourself lucky haha.
When and where?
Target of opportunity. Scan your lanes. Range is hot.
Okay Steel Rain hears you, and we love your enthusiasm, but I think that's going to be a bad day for everybody. How copy?
You know what, nevermind, firing for effect.
It should be fully legal to kill billionaires
At some point of extreme wealth, you get declared a dragon and it should be perfectly fine to organize adventuring parties to attempt to slay you.
Okay but if I fond a magic ring that turns me invisible im fucking keeping it, its mines mines precious!
Ah . . maybe I'd better hold onto that . . .
I saw a comment a while ago where someone calculated the equivalent wealth of fictional dragons (e.g. by estimating the dimensions of Smaug's vast gold trove in The Hobbit) and determined that real billionaires are far worse hoarders of money. Like 1000x worse.
I should try to find that comment again.
