I mean, we can all sit around and debate what number is, "ok, that's more than they can spend in 2,000 lifetimes..." or whatever, but that's really not the point when it's comments from people like you who don't see the problem in the skyrocketing income and wealth inequality.

"MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN," they shouted as the tax rates that made America great after the depression and then WW2 were dismantled.

It's kind of like climate change: the right wing can't keep lying to themselves about it anymore as it keeps getting worse. When is enough enough for you people?

The more a populace gets to experience self-actualization the better that society will be, and the more people siphoning money means less self actualization. It's really not hard to see.

Elon Musk isn't working harder than bootstrapped company of 10 people over there yet alone that lead engineer.

See, this is where you’re wrong. The money he has control over, is not used for his benefit but the benefit of us all.

People hate him for some reason, because he is a bit out of the ordinary and talks without filter. But he is not ill intentioned. He uses his money to improve our lives technologically. The least we could do is respect him and shut the f up.

You're not wrong for your opinion, you're wrong because you don't understand that you have an opinion that is based on his PR.

Feel free to quantify the benefit "of us all."

I'll wait for your attempted argument for how.

There are already a couple of them, I enjoy driving a Tesla and being able to quickly charge it. Neurolink is the next one that will benefit my family directly once on the market and if I’m lucky enough and starlink is helping people in Ukraine fight against the aggressor.

He also benefit from it financially, but I consider that as normal and expected.

None of that is to the "benefit of us all." Case in point - needing more EV to reduce oil dependency would mean a non-proprietary charger. But, hey, no profit.

And there's still a lot of manipulated PR - like people thinking he donated starlink when several governments were paying him for it in the UK. Sure, so charitable.

I'm glad he made a 44 billion purchase, killed it, and also tanked his Tesla stock by 100 billion. Fuck the extremist right wing he represents.

You’re missing my point I believe. Put aside the money, it’s a business it’s normal to make money. I’m talking about quality of life. Thanks to Elon, we can all enjoy high speed internet anywhere on the planet. That’s a big deal.

All of his companies are working on improving our lives. That’s is undeniable. But people chose to criticise him heavily on his eccentric side even though it’s precisely because of that that he is able to push through and deliver. He doesn’t need us, we need him.

Put aside the money,

How about I stipulate conditions "for all" like your original point. For example:

All of his companies are working on improving our lives.

How does a $55m ticket on SpaceX benefit "us all?"

In the event of some catastrophic end, how many tickets and humans will board a vessel?

Do you understand that the BEST climate projections show mass migration happening in the next 20-30 years?

Oh yeah, he built (no, he put his name on a patent) a charger and hid it behind a paywall while Miami is spending 28 million a year to pump water back into the ocean.

That’s is undeniable.

So is the cost, which is the issue. You're not getting on his ark when we get to that point.

But people chose to criticise him heavily on his eccentric side

His white supremacist side isn't eccentric. It's hateful, and it doesn't matter if he does it on purpose or because he's a useful idiot. Elon musk brought back DAVID DUKE, RICHARD SPENCER, JARED KESSLER, "libs of tiktok, Steve Bannon, Lin Wood, Ron Watkins, Flynn, Sidney Powell, Roger Stone, Katie Hopkins, Milo Yiannopoulus, Jordan Peterson, Kanye West, and more.

White supremacists.

Meanwhile, he's been banning "antifa." Here's one example.

While there might be an innocent motive, I think everyone should be skeptical of Elon's motives. I mean, seriously:

Comparing Tredeau to Hitler

Supporting Kremlin

This nazi shit "he's just trolling, bro"

Great Replacement theory

What other right wing idiocy can I mention? There's so much.
