I never forgot. I love this meme so much.
Thing is, there's multiple billionaires who could afford to do it for 6bn and they're not doing it either, so every time we talk about billionaires it should be mentioned that they have the power to end most of humanity's suffering but decide not to do it.
Yeah. For a long time I defended Musk, for the simple reason that, yes, he's weird and seems like a sociopath, but at least he's trying. He wants electric cars. He wants Mars. That's enough. Most billionaires just want an invite to Epstein's island, or to displace a village somewhere to build a new factory.
Those days have ended, now that it's become clear that Musk wants an entire Epstein's-Island enclave just for himself and his "family," and actively works to destroy people who are working on electric cars if they interfere with his quest to get all the credit for everything.
I'm in a similar boat. Seems like there was a big marketing / branding push for him to be seen that way in those years, or maybe it was just media doing media stuff (regurgitating and iterating on successful content). And then I stopped paying attention to him, and then he made weird ass comments during that cave rescue situation, and then it's been just rapid fire incidents ranging from embarrassingly childish to shockingly brazen leading to today. Apologies if I've misremembered the timeline, but I seem to remember that as my "wait wtf" turning point with him.
Went from thinking "huh, smart driven guy working on difficult problems few others will" to realizing he's among the most threatening forces working against humanity today, while also a thin-skinned man-baby. Pretty crazy swing. If he'd have kept his crazy under wraps...like...just literally didn't spew it on social media constantly, that one change alone...we'd probably never have realized.
Many of them are rich because they cause the suffering you're asking them to relieve.
Scarcity is is essential to capitalism.
Many do die as capitalists literally destroy food to maintain scarcity.
I can only surmise that humans are largely happy with this arrangement, with vulnerable humans dying to maintain oligarch profit/metastasis expectations, because the global capital markets haven't been burned to the ground for their relentless and celebratory sociopathic inhumanity. 🤷
Friendly reminder, don't forget to shake your fist at your local homeless encampment on the way to work for lowering your local property values with their continued inconvenient existence!
American corn is a colonization tool.
I might not be good for much. But bringing this up whenever he is mentioned is easy. Will do 🫡
why just 'end world hunger' when you can 'end the world', instead?
It’s simple! Feed a man for a day and he’ll just be hungry tomorrow… Starve a man to death and he’ll never need to eat again!
Build a man a fire and he's warm for the night, set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life.
Technically, ending the world DOES end world hunger.
Did this happen? I find it believable, but seek confirmation.
I have a plan to end world hunger, though I don't know if there's enough elon to go around.
That’s okay. If we run out, we can then use his billions to feed the rest.
Can still do it. For less than the price he paid to buy Trump...
Ending World Hunger is SOCIALISM!

The Children:
Can we please have that gravestone rather sooner than later?
Be the change you want to see.
Props for auditing or whatever, why is it so hard for us to audit? But something sucks about elon doing it. I guess anyone doing it will have their downsides. Elon, you need to become he devil, not satan, the devil doesn't lie, or deceive. The devil says truth that angers. If I'm not mistaken they are not the same. I be;eive you are in a position to be the devil, by accounts of the slavers that wrote the bible, for exposing certain things. But again it's just a story, just like netflix. So none of it really matters.
