Exhibits A and B that power saturation (whether wealth or political, usually both) is a symptom of clinical obsession to obtain power.

Pink Floyd has long held the same opinion (YouTube)

Like J. P. Morgan before him, Musk won't be satisfied even when he owns the entire world. Don't blame him, it's true for every billionaire and plutocrat.

The person who tried to shoot Donald Trump was Donald Trump

The gouvernment tried to hide that for people not to think he cant aim

Those who purchase other peoples’ ideas are not innovative themselves

What do you mean? I bought an iPhone, therefore I'm basically Tim Apple!

He probably thinks he deserves it and never actually said he wanted any.

I’ve had people tell me straight faced that Elon Musk should absolutely be where he is because “he doesn’t care about money or power.” It’s unbelievable.

[-] hopesdead@startrek.website 37 points 21 hours ago

Wait, they said the man who won a lawsuit that granted him the title of “co-founder”, at a company he did not co-found, isn’t in it for power?

On the topic of money: have you seen the price of a Tesla?

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 7 points 21 hours ago

yeah it's not about money or power! it's just straight up about hate!

Leon deserves to get Luigi’d.

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 61 points 22 hours ago

"Luigi'd" may become a new word in the anti-capitalist lexicon!

Oh looks it's punch me in the face Elmo. So hot right now.

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago

That is just exploding with irony.

Great speech, but while you're in the guillotine line consider this side bet me and the boys have..

I reckon you and get through at least half the alphabet between when the blade falls and you truly meet your end. I have a six pack of sassafras on the line and I'm betting you can truly come in clutch me muskkk.

Counting on you 🫶

Is this the intro to his autobiography?

[-] Tower@lemm.ee 16 points 21 hours ago

"It's a curious paradox," I mused, gazing out the window of my private jet as it soared above the mundane concerns of ordinary folk. "Take myself, for example. I have no desire for power, yet it seems to gravitate towards me like metal shavings to a particularly charismatic magnet. Perhaps it's my relentless focus on the betterment of humanity, or maybe it's the irresistible charm that comes with building rockets and digging holes in the ground. Whatever the reason, it's a burden I bear with grace and humility, knowing that true leadership lies not in seeking power, but in having it thrust upon you."

🤢

[-] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago

That can’t be real. For fucks sake.

[-] Tower@lemm.ee 16 points 20 hours ago

No, it's not. Compliments of Gemini:

Imagine that Elon musk is writing an autobiography and this is the opening line

"Those who want power are the ones who least deserve it"

Write a witty but entirely oblivious follow-up paragraph, considering musk is literally the richest person in the world and has been striving for more and more power for years

But it absolutely reads like it could be

Bc those who deserve it get some or enough to not want more
