For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

According to the snapshot I just took from Forbes, Elon Musk's current net worth is ~$252,600,000,000. He's complaining about the German government spending ~$2,000,000 on displaced people risking their lives (and dying!) to escape war.

So just to put that into perspective to show just what kind of an amoral, sadistic piece of shit Musk is, he's complaining that a foreign government (so, you know, none of his fucking business!) is spending about 1/8,000,000 or so of his total net worth on saving people's lives and making their lives less shitty. Motherfucker could spend that amount every year for over 125 thousand years if he never made another cent in his life.

Can someone please just oil the guillotines in the USA and start choppity-chopping!? It's embarrassing that the American people haven't risen up yet.

Just to put this into perspective: all his capital is invested. Let's say he has a mean annual profit of 5% a year with it (it's certainly more), he makes 35.083.333,33USD a DAY. So it would take him a bit over an hour to get that amount back. Imagine the ignorance!

That's why I specified if he didn't make a single dollar more, because that makes him look like enough of a shitbag. And then the reality is that 2 million dollars means literally nothing to him.
