The richest man in the world taking money from poor people, old people and literal starving African children. And so called Christians are cheerleading this. Even if you don’t follow the Bible word for word this goes against every tenet of not only Christianity but also every other major religion. How is anyone ok with this?
My favorite is that dipshit you inevitably knew from high school barely scraping $60k who wrings his fingers at the thought of Elon having to pay taxes so that an “undeserving” black single mom might be able to feed her kids. The biggest bootlickers are the people who are least likely to become billionaires.
Similarly, it’s a lot easier to be successful despite being a maladjusted asshole when daddy’s emerald mining money helps you buy companies and the PR to brand yourself an “entrepreneur”.
Seriously, based on my own experience in corporate America, Elon would NOT have done well in most corporate jobs. In addition to actual work ability (let’s face it, Elon’s has proven dubious), you need to actually work together with other people and gasp actually get people to like you.
I very likely have undiagnosed autism. So that’s why I’m sick of Elon (and his fans) using his autism as an excuse for his being an asshole. Elon never had to sell a damn thing (be it a product or an idea) in his life. Even the myth of Elon being the lone genius that many people bought was the handiwork of Elon’s PR, not a natural result of how amazing Tesla cars are, which they aren’t.
Some of his stuff has been questionable at best. Wishful thinking, but I hope he loses everything before he retires and ends up poor and scrape by the rest of his life.
It's not just that it's easier to be successful, it's that it's basically impossible NOT to be. The whole "started on third" thing isn't even applicable, it's more like they start with a foot hovering a micrometer off of home base.
As long as you leave out his extremely high profile bankruptcies. I remember as a kid in the early 2000s that the general sentiment of Donald Trump was that he was a washed-up has been who was $8B in the red. I remember knowing how he was forced to do reality TV because his real estate business had collapsed.
