lets not call them billionaires. lets call them the owner class. they own our economy, our politicians, our land, our access.

[edhazlewood]

Well, lets call them oligarchs instead of billionaires.

What’s he and his supporters are trying to accomplish ? Annoyed her enough to get a reaction ? Pathetic.

[poncedeoly]

he is no Tesla- he is more like Edison who hired scientists to invent then he took credit for the inventions

Elon Musk. Prince of the Incels.
Oh, wait. South Korean women have reserved that for their president.
Elon Musk. *King of the Incels.*

Your right, John. Elon is a miserable person.

[clivejules]

Billionaires are evil, or they would not be billionaires.

[newbeeah]

He’s mad because he doesn’t want to pay taxes

[grumpydave]

When I was at Versailles and was walking through the salons thinking about the foppish dandies gossiping to each other amid all that wealth while the average person hustled or starved on the streets of Paris I thought, "Of course they revolted and the Reign of Terror ensued". That situation could not be sustained without upheaval. In retrospect, amid all that evidence, it was disgustingly obvious.

Elon doesn’t build stuff; he has people for that. 🤑

Using "billionaire" as a pejorative is morally wrong? If there are no ethical ways to become a billionaire then I see absolutely no problem with the word having a negative connotation.

How is it possible that people who aquire more and more money, become blinder and blinder to reality and become less and less enlightened?

[fitzyfitzgerald]

Soooo that’s what happened to Emma Stones voice.
I just learned something new.
I think she’s even cooler now. 👍

[thomahammer]

Allthe stuff Musk talks about, I read in my dad’s Popular Science magazines 60 years ago. No original thinking.

[hamburgersmmmmmm]

Ugh, I wish everyone would stop covering Elon. He's just another Republican toddler.

I’m glad AOC refuses to *CONDESCEND* herself to waste time with Elon Muskrat.

According to Rick Scott's argument, Musk should just shut up because since Musk doesn't pay taxes he doesn't have "skin in the game".
