Could it be he’s not a good man? He lacks any shred of humanity

He is a very sick man, drunk with the power of his money.

Just like the movie Trading Places. Ruin a life just to see if it can be done over a $1 bet.

There is a club somewhere set up to watch the misery caused and simply bet on how much more can be caused, for how little

Sometimes he uses his money to buy countries and power and ruin the lives of many. How fun for him

His goal is to be the first Trillionaire and he doesn't care who he steps on, steals from or lies to.

I think both trump and musk are trying to force respect that they will never have, it's megalomania. Just like they have no friends and their families despise them, they will never have respect from anyone and buying it only proves the point.

And no amount will ever be enough.
Unfortunately the greed is contagious.

It is the external validation that he craves because he has no internal validation of his worth. He needs the dollars and the young kids to feel complete. His personality is totally skewed.

For him, money isn't something he can use to do good. It's power, pure and simple. He can use it to buy and sell entire countries.

Historically, none of this ends well for people who hoard a shitload of wealth, while a huge mass of people can barely afford to eat or pay rent.

I doubt Musk is a student of history.

If an animal hoarded resources like this in the wild, they'd be studied by scientists for their abnormal behavior.

Gotta say, with people as rich as him around it feels like global scarcity is manufactured.

It’s a nice thought, but it’s wrong. He’s worth roughly $400 billion. There are roughly 8 billion people on earth. Thats $50 for each person, over ten years, or $5 per person, per year. Or, $.0137 per day.

trg-commentary.bsky.social•22 days ago

From all I heard it costs 44 billion to feed the entire world for a year. Haven't actually fact check if that's an accurate number, though.

michaelronzano.bsky.social•22 days ago

So, $5.10 per person, per year? Seems unlikely, don’t you think?

trg-commentary.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yeah probably not.

michaelronzano.bsky.social•21 days ago

The figure you are seeing is the cost to end world hunger, not to feed the entire world.

trg-commentary.bsky.social•21 days ago

Yeah, I just saw a figure that says it needs 66 billion to feed 1 billion for a year. Also a rather low number.

Maybe the children and old folks!
