      You missed out on a lot of good podcasts taking the piss out of it.

      I went to see it with my brother and we laughed through it, it’s not good but a bunch of people randomly doing parkour off a train is a good unintentional joke.

      These billionaires try to convince us they work hard for their riches but somehow they have time to find and post memes on social media. Doesn’t he have several companies to run into the ground? Trump would tweet literally 200 times a day about shit he saw on television and social media when he was supposed to be working hard as president

        If I made a million a month, then even without taxes, cost of living or any luxuries, I’d have to work 83 years and change to become a billionaire.

        There is no way anyone can work hard enough to justify accruing even one billion in a lifetime, let alone several.

    The tool doesn’t have the self-awareness that billionaires are petty, wealth- and power-hoarding tyrants needing to be resisted against, and he’s one of them.

    It’s almost as if we don’t live in a fictional universe, Elon, yet you still try hard to be the villain.

    This is how rich people see themselves tho, and it’s important to pay attention to that. They all think their a small cadre of radical hold outs fighting an evil government trying to exercise over regulation. They think they’re the rebels from star wars.

    You watched Star Wars and sided with the resistance

    Sided with the group against the politician who manufactured threats to rile up their base enough to vote him limitless power in government that he used to make himself forever emperor and turning the democratic Republic into a xenophobic, fascist authoritarian society which draws loose parallels with nazism? So much to the point that when declaring himself the emperor, Padme outright says “So this is how democracy ends…”

    You’re goddamn right I sided with the resistance in that regard

    It’s hilarious that Republicans/Conservatives see themselves as the resistance. Like when did helping people and trying to provide better lives for the needy and taxing the rich and corporations become “radical”? I’m thinking they don’t actually know what a lot of these words mean. We already know they have no understanding what “woke” means, unless they do and they just don’t care, which could also be true.

    Man-child is the richest man in the world and still has to conjure up conspiracies and shadowy cabals to excuse why he doesn’t have even more.
