          Buying the company was the decision to take over the communications channel by dictators worldwide. It wasn’t an accident and he doesn’t care about the value of shitter in the long term.

      Thing is, he’s not. He can, and has, lose more money than I’ll ever see and not have any change in lifestyle.

      It simply doesn’t effect him. All of his companies could collapse completely tomorrow and he probably wouldn’t even notice (financially speaking).

        Musk is one of the few billionaire who made his money via meme stock. He is proving to be pretty stupid so it wouldn’t surprise me if he lose it all.

        Best to think of him as a lottery winner not some capitalists genius. Plenty of examples of them going broke.

        He may not notice the financial loss but at the amount of money he’s trying to amass money isn’t the point. Power and control are the point. If his companies go under he’ll loose a lot of power and influence and I’m not sure his ego could handle that. He seems to crave attention of any kind. I’d be happy if he were reduced to a regular very rich guy with nothing of consequence to say anymore.

          What is his most profitable asset? Tesla stock? Spacex stock? So long as his total assets are worth $4 billion or more, there’s no change. Anything below that and he’ll lose influence due to financial strain. I’m looking forward to it!

                Is there some finance math behind that or something? Sounds like it’s a pretty concrete figure when you say it like that, but I’m not financially literate enough to understand

                  300M to buy a presidency once every four years, leaving him 3.7B to recoup his costs at 8%/year to stay ahead of inflation. If that wouldn’t work out, swap to purchasing the ears of 20% of all US senators.

                  Though I didn’t realize that senate races average 90M now, so my figures were out of date. I was just winging it with mental math, nothing authoritative.

        Here’s the thing… there’s more of us than there are of them. That’s why they’re so desperate to keep our collective attention elsewhere and to cause division or people might recognize just how strong they could be collectively.

        Even collectively we might not have billions of dollars, but it doesn’t take billions to crater a company or an industry. Just takes not paying into the system; it’ll collapse on its own.

        I get you can’t boycott everything because you need food and water to survive, but people aren’t helpless.

          It’s just facts.

          https://www.oxfamamerica.org/press/press-releases/in-january-billionaires-amassed-more-wealth-than-the-poorest-third-of-humanity-owns/

          In January alone, billionaire wealth surged by $314 billion―around $10 billion a day. This is more than the combined wealth of the 2.8 billion people who make up the poorest third of humanity.

          At the global average income, it would take 15 million workers an entire year to collectively earn the same amount of money

              Hes saying that everyone single person who upvoted this post would have to convince millions of people each to stand a chance against the financial power that is held by billionaires.

              Rich people love when idiots think that they can change the world by doing purely individualistic stuff. Even if you convince hundreds of people it wont change their margins by even 0.001%. Believing that markets have built in course correction that cant be completely dominated and steered by rich people is the biggest lie in the world.

              Do individualistic stuff anyways, because every improvement matters and it might make you happy. But know that it requires more than that to make a significant difference.
