A million seconds is 11 days, a billion seconds is 31 years and a trillion seconds is 31,688 years. For perspective the last ice age ended 11 thousand-ish years ago. Eat the rich.
Seriously, people have no inherent understanding of the sheer scale of money we're talking about here. You could tax Elon at 99% and he would still be one for the top 200 richest people in the US. At 99.999% He would still have $10million dollars... per year. That's 100 people making $100k/year. His wealth is enough to pay $100k to every man, women, and child living in Washington state and still be rich af... per year. He's a fucking parasite just like every other billionaire.
Trump saved Elon and Tesla from bankruptcy with government contracts. Tesla wouldn't exists today if Americans didn't vote for Trump the first time. Elon who have been a failure like Trump. Elon is the richest man today because of Americans who voted for Trump. History books will remember that, always.
"The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy." - Elon Musk while on a right-wing propaganda podcast of a fellow obscenely wealthy 3rd rate comedian.
Dont forget that the federal government created all of this. Started with tax credits for teslas. Canada also gave tax credits for consumer sales. Spacex has large government contracts. Doge stopped all investigations into Musk companies. The federal government should have nationalized spacex. And dont forget that musk pays no tax. No one should have this much money Plus musk killed usaid. The worlds richest man killing the worlds poorest people. Despicable
I suggest that we pass a law that the riches person in the world every year is executed, their assets liquidated and spent on social programs. You can prevent this by paying your fucking taxes and spending on social programs and infrastructure. this continues every year until there are no more billionaires and the megamillionaires are all paying a reasonable percentage to the communities that supplied their wealth
The dumbest part is that he wants SO badly to be liked. Literally all he had to do was use his infinite money to fix some social and infrastructure problems at a cost that he'd never notice in his lifestyle, and he'd still be the hero genius everyone thought he was before he threw a babyman fit over a diver in Thailand trying to rescue trapped children.
Actually, anyone paying attention knew he was a piece of shit long before the Thai cave rescue incident. But I wholeheartedly agree with you that he and others like him could easily transform themselves into darlings if they spent what to them would be a nominal amount of money and eliminated homelessness and food insecurity and paid taxes appropriate to their wealth.
Also hadn't been caught going to Epstein's island and regularly asking him about when the wild parties were happening. And he hadn't villainized his daughter. Or, to a much lesser extent, paid people to game on his accounts so he could pretend to be a top tier gamer.
He could possibly even turn around his current reputation by spending a fraction of his wealth on positive things. Smash out some anti hunger/poverty wins. Support more electrification and go hard against fossil fuels.
Apropos of nothing, I was thinking recently of a woman in the midwest somewhere, I forget exactly where, probably Ohio or something, whose neighbor shot and killed her while she was mowing her yard. When reporters were interviewing other neighbors in the area, their reaction to her death was pretty much "Well, yeah, we kinda figured someone was gonna do this sooner or later."
I think it’s anyone that doesn’t stake their life and reputation on defending trump. I honestly can’t wait for the likes of mike johnson to attempt to backpedal his very public worship.
I think there are some liberals who have a stricter definition. Why don't leftists like being considered liberals, for example? They don't stake their lives or reputations on defending Trump.
They have weaponized labels and now it’s something they can dismiss as the same crazy people. It’s intentional. Trying to explain it to them is like trying to teach someone chess but they only want to provoke you into a fist fight.
There isn't a major speed difference if you train with them. Capacity is lower but it only takes one or two magnum caliber rounds to all but guarantee results. It's not like his hired goons are gonna give you enough time for more than a few shots.

The least believable aspect of James Bond is the western world sending spies to foil the plans of billionaires.

If Marvel really wanted to have a hero people could get behind, it would be one who only killed billionaires.

less Tony Stark, more Gorr the God Butcher. They really wasted an amazing character/actor combo by having him in only one film.

without trump funneling government money to musk, Elon would be a nepo millionaire., always on the verge of bankruptcy

You’re right. I just meant his general public sentiment against private healthcare. I’m looking forward to him being acquitted of these false charges.

Revolver probably too slow. Something that will get more shots off would be more effective, I would guess, if I knew about such things.

A Revolver won't drop shell casings after you fire.

High powered laser pointer. It wouldn't be fully effective, but you have better range and creates a severe permanent hinderance
