Fuck you John Roberts and your Citizens United violence against the citizens.

He's spent like 65 million already.

Incidentally that's like .025% of his net worth. If you make 100K/year, the equivalent percentage of your yearly salary would be $25.

The French had a good solution for people like this. It rhymes with creatine.

[-] krashmo@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

I think you are a bit confused and replied to the wrong person. French food is pretty good but I'm not sure what Ovaltine has to do with this. Besides, it's British.

[-] Jesusaurus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Ah thanks for clarifying! I was confused how poutine was involved.

[-] whostosay@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

also rhymes with scopolamine

ONE MAN Bankrolling an ENTIRE Political Party is PROOF that THAT Political Party is by and For the People!

Felon Musk is cancer

I wish someone would strap Elon onto a Space X rocket and launch him directly into the Sun.

Just remember, it takes less delta v to shoot things out of the solar system than it does to shoot them into the sun.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 23 points 2 months ago

It's not about the delta v. It's about sending a message.

[-] harmsy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

It's about sending a message

Then out of the solar system is still a better option, because then we're announcing to some future spacefaring anthropologist, "Fuck this guy in particular."

[-] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

You know more than that fascist clown does.

[-] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Work out the right gravity assist profile and a trip to the outer planets can become one that ends WITH THE SUN

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 2 months ago

Just slow his orbit a bit

Or we could increase our yearly billionaire sacrifice to the ocean god.

[-] vanontom@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

It should be law, that everyone who owns Occupy Mars memorabilia must be on the first few ships to the new colony. Billionaires will have a very special ship of course, that mysteriously vanishes and is never heard from again.

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago

Trump bankrupts everything he touches so good luck Elon!

[-] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

Honestly he's so rich I don't even think that's possible. I mean the dude could lose $1 billion per year and still be a billionaire after two centuries lol.

Few things in this world would make me happier than to be totally wrong tho

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?

All the other billionaires solicit their bribes discretely. It’ll be interesting how this feud plays out.
