find it genuinely delighting that people with enough money to never work again (and do literally anything they want anywhere in the world at any time) seemingly have nothing going on in their lives and are so miserable they are just spending the holidays frantically posting

All those people who constantly need more: they don't have lives, just an empty space that no money will ever fill.
Normal people would start living their life long before a billion.
Most normal people would be set for life and live happily ever after LOOONG before they ever get close to a billion.
A segment of Inside Job sticks with me: you always hear, "Billionaire so and so bought thus &such," but reality is, "Guy takes out massive loan to acquire thus&such." They don't own much, besides debt.
I fear humanity has lost perspective on how numbers work.
"One death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic."
But now consider: Musk has *400* billion.
So...what, 12,800 years of counting?

(we need more rich independent women)
Security might be happiness to some people, but security is NOT happiness. Happiness is happiness.
We must, therefore, try to protect People from all exploitation... that would give me more happiness, for example, than ANY dollar amount.
Wut?
There is SO MUCH to do in life that doesn’t involve making money.
Instead they seem to just skulk in their offices and mansions, complaining about how no one seems to like them.
1) More is more and they just keep going
2) They want to go into politics
3) They want to buy a sports team
2 & 3 are b/c Dunning and Kruger were right.
with all the money in the world
want all the rest of the money
in the world. And they want
to prove they deserve it.
Which they can’t. Because
they don’t.
And I am a material girl
You know that we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl
You get used to the level you live on, or you don’t.
But they aren't flexible enough (not anymore) to attain total self-absorption.
Too bad.

I suppose you are likely to have be a dull yet angry soulless zombie to become one.
Maybe I'll feel differently when closer to it. The actual process doesn't sound fun.
If nothing else, it's the great equalizer.
Guess how it ends.
which is probably a lot of why they want to destroy things.
Unfortunately, it was right next to land owned by SpaceX and Elon started illegally using it as a car park and storage site without their consent, destroying the natural state of the land in the process.
FELON
problem is mostly you don't make that kind of money without being seriously terrible to begin with.
Thing is, you don't actually need 400 BILLION to do that.
Beyond a certain point of material wealth, it's only about controlling other people.
He'll never know what love even is
day, he goes into the library, assuming the funds haven't been cut. logs on. THEN he's reply guy
No room for friends and family when you can pore over stock charts and shit
"I have never met a truly happy rich person"
jesus.
People kiss their ass because they have minet,but they hate them.
not that that'd probably be too helpful tbh.
but no. They'll never self examine. Vance thinks therapy's "weird."
because HE's not, remember
posting a lot, Happy 2025
They're psychopaths!
For some there is this simple big void they can't fill, resorting to doing bad stuff, so history books will write sugarcoating words what a peckerhead you were.
"He promised us mars and intelligent robots driving underground subway taxis but crashed a democracy"
Who am I kidding, I’m sure he will force the government to sell it to him before he dies and make his page uneditable.
I'll see myself out...
The wife was about 20 years younger than he and about 18” taller, very modelesc.
Like, where did the roads and towns come from that feed you business? All yours?
but I'd ride first class in big old fashioned steamers everywhere.
and buy real fucking rail for the U.S., which at least the original robber barons did, but they haven't been updated...
The point is there are a million super cool and fun things to do in the world and Musk has the means to do it all, and he’s just a miserable shit poster. Go to Bora Bora! Swim with dolphins! Save some orphans! Why live like he does?
*for their own good.*
You want me to go do some volunteering? I promise you the charities I donate to prefer the money rather than the amount I could contribute with my time.
Those are the ones who could change the world, but their hearts are made of ice, and their heads are on fire — they're addicted to money.
All they live for is the next hit. They steal from the people around them (all of us) to keep their high.
They can do no good.
Chef: “you know who these people spend Christmas with?
Me. They spend it with me.”
If your obstacles are more than financial, money can buy you more, elaborate obstacles.
Large infusions of money bought financial security or bigger addictions and larger family/friend rifts.
Happiness is temporary. We should chase contentment, emotional and financial security, and personal challenges.
This tax incentive promoted continued gambling and many winners ended up broke again.
He had zero chance of being remotely human. Still, he could've tried.
A billionaire is never going to spend a billion dollars. It will just sit there doing nothing, being completely useless to them.
In a twisted way, I think Musk genuinely thinks (or tells himself) he's doing something far more noble than feeding the hungry: he's Saving The Species. Just him.
Like, I think I'd do a lot better than Musk, but I still wouldn't trust me, tbh. especially once surrounded by sycophants.
No, we're not "just jealous." EVERYTHING about this is fucked up. Are you seriously saying this dude here works 900,000 times as hard as you? *Why* does he deserve it?
Paul has enough to money 'buy the road', but instead has been playing concerts around the world for 50 years *after he was rich AF.
I wouldn’t buy a media platform to make myself a meme king
