x last night

I posted this earlier today in the tech lemmy instance, but, they have no sense of humor and deleted it. I'm trying here.

Musk has burnt through $44 Billion. I'm sure even the government could have spent it better than he has
- They would have spent it on bombs and missiles, not on useful stuff.
  
  Hey they would have bought a kid or two a book. Maybe.
  
  But bombs and missiles "Made in USA", that's how the trickle down works, right? 💦🚽
- On a wrench.
- You overestimate governments. But a blind dog could've spent it much better.
  
  ... he said in a post on a worldwide network whose creation the US government originally funded.
  
  Who is this blind dog, and how can we make him president?! 🐕‍🦺

They spelled ‘eat’ wrong.

The techie guys are also the ones with verified Twitter accounts and Elon Musk balls on their mouths in my experience so i can't say i'm surprised if they deleted your post :/
- A lot of us sadly are, but there are also ones like me with a strong affinity for open source and such. And we collectively join in the Elon hate.

Looks fake. Probably why. Lighting is all fucked. Ground not consistent with massive sign lit up. 🚩
- we can't effort the rich anymore.
- But, doesn't light always go only up?
  
  Yeah, otherwise it would be called "heavy".
  
  Yeah, it’s hot. Heat rises. Therefore, vis a vis, indubitably, light goes up.
  
  Smog. You get used to it after a while.
- I can tell by the pixels

They spelled EAT wrong.
- The joke is that Twitter put a giant X Sign on the roof of their building so the edit needs to include an X
- Nope, T A X is an acceptable alternative spelling for E A T.
  
  Nah, for them, taxes would just be another small hurdle to squash
- ¿Por que no los dos?
  
  Taxing the rich, and then eating them. What could possibly go wrong?

Honestly, just taxing the rich is one of the most milquetoast and obvious takes ever. Should not even be radical imo since it just makes sense
- And yet here we are.
- BuT iT dOeSnT wOrK lIkE tHaT

A resident should display a glowing Mastodon logo through their window
- The band, or the social network?
  
  Why not both?
- Why not just project it onto the side of the building?

I agree with the idea, but where is the humor in this?
- That's X sign on Twitter building in the end of tax
  
  Ah that explains everything. Thank you.
- The communism.
  
  Taxes are capitalist

It would definitely fit that instance too, it's also some quality shitpost and could fit in political communities as well so kind of a universal one if you ask me!

Why did they delete it? Is it even a real picture?
- You’re looking at it. It’s as real as this text you’re reading!
  
  All I see is blonde, brunette, red head...

I guess some users of tech lemmy might have felt concerned by this.

Ok, how much though?
- I'm thinking from the neck up?

"Make the rich pay" is smarter.
- There’s no “x” in your sentence.
  The sign was a huge, dumb “x”, using that X, the new, ah, forget it.
  
  I don't care. Tax the rich is stupid.

Tax the bidens :) or not those rich? The other rich!!!
- This is not the gotcha you think it is. Yes, tax the Bidens.
  
  Some people woukd disagree, look at other comments :)
- Tax all of them! What part about it do you not understand? Do we need to spell it out for you? WTF is wrong with you?
  
  Take the rich peoples money and give it to the poor! And when they are the new rich, take their money and give it to the new poor!
- I don't even think the Bidens are that rich by politician standards, but we should tax them just like everyone else.
  
  Oh, sorry. Dont tax the Bidens
- If you think ~10M is the dangerous kind of rich then yeah, most people realize that 100M+ or even 1B+ is the people that are actually severely dangerous. Especially the people that end up with that number somehow after several bankruptcies...
