He has the power to end so much suffering. Instead he uses it to influence a fascist's win and cuts major aid programs in the name of saving money, which it didn't even do. This man is an evil lunatic playing with millions of lives with his grifts. He deserves something worse than death, but his death would at least be a merciful act for humanity.
He really doesn't. Musk exists as an outlet for other business psychos to loss their money. He's a magnet for rich idiots. And he exists as a corporate model finger to the liberal establishment. DOGE could only ever cut nice things, because nice things don't have a cartel of glass chewing mobsters lobbying for them.
If he were to change how he operated, he wouldn't hold that influence anymore and his companies wouldn't have these stupid triple digit p/e figures.
Musk is a symptom of social rot. He's a racist because other oligarchs demand more racism. He's a Techno-Fascist because his biggest shareholders are Techno-Fascists. The only way that changes is if you get a Socialist in government that he needs to suck up to in order to maintain his government contracts and low interest lending.
Sorry, his fanboys started foaming at the mouth and y'all missed a bit. He said.
"Money won't matter in 2036 because of AI and robots consuming all the resources and nobody tracking climate change. There will be none of us left to need the money"
So it's even worse. He recognizes a major part of the problem, and the result we are hurtling towards... and yet he is doing nothing to combat it, while having the resources to.
Does he have a punchable face because he has a punchable face, or is it just all the years of him making an ass out of himself that have made me perceive him that way?
I mean... Purely logically, this makes little sense. The premise is: "In the future, money won't matter." Then they say "Then give it all away," with an implied "now." But the premise didn't mention how money matters now [it obviously does matter now], so you can't say he should give it all away now based on the premise, which only regards the future.
Don't worry about saving, keep spending like a drunken sailor as it's all meaningless, yolo. Meanwhile, we'll be quietly cashing out behind the scenes and building our island bunkers.
And his sales predictions for the cyber truck were ludicrously wrong. Boring company is still looking to dig a new underground taxi. Solar shingles are nowhere. And the ship to Mars hasn't been in orbit around earth yet. Enough to bankrupt many companies but he keeps on going.

Was he trying to convince people that they won't need money soon so they can let him keep all of it for himself?

2036 just happens to be the year that conservatives keep saying Social Security runs out of money.

The word thing is he hasn't actually got all that money.
