They want more. Because more money brings more power.

awakeneddragon.bsky.social•78 days ago

Really poor decision making and critical thinking skills in that dude.

lightscavenger.bsky.social•78 days ago

They already have a lot of power. I think they want even more money because they've become such empty shells of human beings that money is the only thing that means anything to them.

By suggesting the wealthy are more trustworthy, it invites and excuses hatred against the poorest people. And with no discussion around how some people acquired their wealth.

gwwest.bsky.social•78 days ago

They are using the stupidest rationalization ever. Those addicted to greed are addicts. Sure let the addicts guard the supply. Fuckin genius!

How do you like this height of audacity post today by Elon Musk...?!?

He needs to be stripped of citizenship & permanently deported...!! I've been screaming to everyone with ears (DoJ, lawyers, Congress, etc...) for 6 months that Elon should be charged under 18 USC 2385!!

vjm4democracy.bsky.social•77 days ago

He has it exactly backwards

gumshoeless.bsky.social•78 days ago

Elon, time for you to take a nap!

papadontpreach.bsky.social•78 days ago

This cant be real

sheriw60.bsky.social•78 days ago

It is... I took a screenshot of it and just cropped pic a bit... But... It's real...!! It's arrogant as Hell so DOES sound like something he'd say...!! He thinks the sun rises & sets on him & him alone...!!

He truly needs to be permanently booted the Hell out of The U.S...!!

Can you paste a link to this post, please?

sheriw60.bsky.social•78 days ago

I'm not on Twitter or "X" or whatever that Nzi platform is!! I saw it posted on here (Bluesky) & I had to expand just the post to be able to read it (print to small otherwise). It was once I expanded it the whole post showed & that's where I took the screenshot that I cropped. I forget who OP was...

em99y.bsky.social•78 days ago

my first thought exactly!

bagofbleeps.bsky.social•78 days ago

Applying the addiction model helps. They don't care who they hurt for their next fix.

lampshadeoh.bsky.social•78 days ago

They may not “need” our money, but they sure do want it with a passion.

gumshoeless.bsky.social•78 days ago

And even then they will never be fully satisfied (nor free from their obvious psychopathic obsession with either).

British solution: Banish Napoleon to the island of Saint Helena in the Atlantic.

American solution: Exile the whole rotten, treasonous cesspool to any one of Uranus' 28 moons.

Jung said the opposite of love is not hate. It’s power.

robertgreenhaus.bsky.social•78 days ago

They didn't need money long before they became billionaires, but they didn't stop glomming it.

coconutlizard.bsky.social•78 days ago

Not!

sfgaymom.bsky.social•78 days ago

Or that running a business and making money has anything to do with public service or the public good and should be a prerequisite for governing!!

saidydoll.bsky.social•78 days ago

see they had to change it from trickle down economics

roadhog282.bsky.social•78 days ago

No! And they shouldn’t trust Fox disinformation entertainment as well

pradko.bsky.social•78 days ago

Billionaires can't even be arsed to build the occasional library or hospital anymore

Everything has to be for-profit now

They can never have enough. Greed and power rules.

krisve.bsky.social•78 days ago

Who is stupid enough to believe this stuff? Zero critical thinking skills. It’s happening right in front of our faces and he’s talking straight nonsense imaginary reasons for why it would never happen.

geneseedreams.bsky.social•78 days ago

I’d like it to be a scrupulously principled person.

tlt55.bsky.social•78 days ago

The super wealthy became so wealthy by gouging regular, hard-working Americans, who haven’t the resources to fight back & stop these vultures from picking their bones clean of every last penny.

Putting these billionaires in charge of 🇺🇸 💰 is giving them carte blanche to help themselves to all the💰.

stonewheel.bsky.social•77 days ago

They don't want money, they want data.

kootafoot.bsky.social•78 days ago

But with risk, let's see what happens to the stocks of Tesla, META etc. Many people are angry and finally see the effect upon themselves. Very strong motivator to stop using what they are selling. Maybe not but let's see if they start getting hit by downgrades and bad user publicity.

Human greed knows no bounds

papadontpreach.bsky.social•78 days ago

Yeah, this is why he charges for the nazi bar and threatens advertisers.

grahamclester.bsky.social•78 days ago

You can trust your money with a billionaire in the same way that you can trust your daughter with a playboy.

thelibertybelle.bsky.social•77 days ago

You can trust Ted Bundy to walk your daughter back from the bar, he has already raped and killed enough women. He doesn't want or need more.

luxexnocte.bsky.social•77 days ago

The same guy who called us the parasite class is running a Neo-fascist playbook from another tech overlord.

Also because money is how they measure their self-worth. The more they have, the more they like themselves.

Most billionaires are hoarders of money.

janjohnson.bsky.social•78 days ago

As my mother (wealthy person) said to my kids, "You can never have too much money."

sheriw60.bsky.social•78 days ago

However... It doesn't matter how much you have (or don't have) when "judgement day" comes and... I've NEVER seen a hearse with a trailer hitch to take it with you...!! 🤣🤣

cindymab.bsky.social•78 days ago

And ALL of the money brings ALL of the power. They want it all. I do what I can by boycotting their businesses. For now, at least, I control my money and where it is spent.

ncwashingtonian.bsky.social•78 days ago

Exactly.

avendarien.bsky.social•78 days ago

Money is just an idea, power you can feel.

They ALWAYS want more. Always.

thelibertybelle.bsky.social•77 days ago

And if they don't need more, why are the tax cuts primarily directed to them? While the lower income families will pay more in taxes to offset their tax cut?

thelibertybelle.bsky.social•77 days ago

If Trump already had enough money, why did he need to sell gaudy gold hightops, Lee Greenwood Bibles, meme coins, etc, etc. Doesn't the little fake news propagandist realize when they deplete the bank accounts, theirs will be depleted to?

abcyyc.bsky.social•77 days ago

To think, I used to think Canadian "JD Roberts" was "cool"

Boy, was I wrong

bjabuckeye.bsky.social•77 days ago

Doesn't he mean the guy who has billions in govt contracts and is increasing those daily? The fact is that once they get a little, they hitch their wagon to the devil and bulldoze thru everything! My God, are people really that ignorant?
