People like you, Elon, people like you.

Lots of people don't like him, though.

[โ€“] denaggels@feddit.org 5 points 2 weeks ago

"like" as in "are the same as"

Him and all his imaginary friends

Says that when he offered Starlink to Ukraine and then disabled it in a crucial time.

[โ€“] real_squids@sopuli.xyz 21 points 2 weeks ago

He cannot comprehend he's not a genius in every field he touches, even briefly. Hopefully competition will catch up so nobody has to rely on starlink in life or death scenarios

My baby doesn't cry as much as that dickhead. One would have thought having more money than god would mean plenty of time to do fun stuff rather than whining on the internet like a spoiled teenager.

[โ€“] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You and I could never have his kind of money. Our only interest in the stuff is to spend it. You, like me probably have some hobbies you would dump a ton of dollars/euros into. I would have one of damn near every kind of musical instrument. My money would flow like water through the economies of several countries to make that happen.

People who amass wealth like his don't have the capacity to enjoy things. They have only the compulsive desire to own. There is no enough. He cannot love, but he deludes himself into believing that he should be worshiped. He will die alone and unsatisfied, he's just going to take entirely too long to do it.

Hey. He might not die alone if the left gets our shit together.

[โ€“] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Even if he was executed next to every other human cosplaying as a gold hoarding dragon, that man would be alone. He is incapable of connecting with anyone else.

Well in that sense I'm not sure he's alone in the other direction; that one must exist to be alone.

[โ€“] unknown@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well off you pop, get to it. No time like the present.

Or are you just too busy right now to disrupt your life with a political assassination?

Not to worry, I'm sure the next leftist this buck gets passed to, won't be. They'll get on this revolution pronto.

....Can anyone else hear that cricket?

I'll do a lot of things. 'Get my shit together' will never be one of them.

It's a reason not to buy a Tesla, to avoid Twitter, and to fight for the EU to have a 100% public and powerful space agency.

Do not worry. Von der Leyen will go and beg for Elon's forgiveness. She is good as this kind of stuff.
