      Like converting it to dollar bills and burning it for warmth come next winter. That sounds less wasteful

        I agree fuck musk but you are straight lying, he is the founder of SpaceX and spaceX is the most important company he owns I would say.

        The incredible engineers at SpaceX are why it’s such an amazing entity though, not musk rat.

      The ironic part is, despite being a large shareholder of a company named Tesla, he’s a modern-day Thomas Edison.

        At least Edison was also an inventor and not just a thief and a fabulist.

      He’s literally one of the biggest drains on society in existence. He uses as many resources as thousands upon thousands of people produce.

    Musk had indicated that he planned to start his donations in July, one of the people said.

    So July, August, September, and October. 4 x $45m, or $180 million (at least, though maybe he’s going to donate another $45m for the week before the election - not a bad strategy if you can afford it). Presumably to flood the airwaves, Facebook, Fox News, CNN, newspapers and every other form of media with messages of Donald Trump.

    Musk has styled himself as a free speech “absolutist.” But when you are expressly taking all oxygen in the room so nobody else’s message can be heard, doing something that only a handful of people are privileged to be able to afford to do, it is impossible to reconcile that with “free” speech. Unless your conception of “free speech” is that only those with money are entitled to it.

    And…that’s of course the answer.

    So you see, a good reason to go to the polls (if you’re a US citizen of course) is to make it so Musk and other billionaires will have wasted all that money.

    Meh, I wanna see receipts. I hate the dude, but he’s also a habitual liar, like Trump. So I wouldn’t put it past him to make this up.

    So he’s just looking to lose ALL of his money for stupid pursuits. What a fuckin’ genius.
