1. Wonder if he will do good with his newfound power and wealth or succumb to greed and corruption. Oh who am I kidding we all know. 

2. The goat 🐐

3. So we can eat him now?

4. I think if he got his way the USA would do way better, but lets not kid ourselves. They are NOT going to succeed in lowering taxes and regulations and the USA will continue to limp along for a long time to come. It really been this way since 2008 if you ask me. The last truly real growth I saw was in the late 90’s.

6. This, at the same time as he goads and threatens the poor of the US with hardship so that he can make himself richer. I don’t think I’ve ever despised a human being more. He deserves everything bad that’s coming to him. And by that, I mean there will come a time when some angry American decides they’ve had more than enough.

7. No single person should have that much money. Period. End of story. He did not earn it and he does not deserve it, and it affords him a terrifyingly disproportionate amount of power over things that affect billions of people. Yes, we are all equal, but clearly some are FAR more equal than others.

8. I have made over $130k this year due to my $TSLA holdings. I physically or mentally cannot hate Elon Musk.

9. Americans be like: Our oligarchs are the richest, much richer than yours! *We* win! *We’re* #1

   Meanwhile: American life expectancy below all industrialized countries

10. One person shouldn’t have so much money.

11. NEXT…..

12. Good work, Elon! Time to advance humanity into a multi planetary species.

13. I guess stealing an election will make you rich.Welcome to Russia

14. But don’t worry, like Donald Trump, Elon too cares for rural America

15. Mansa Musa was also once the richest man on Earth worth over $400B, and crashed economies wherever he traveled, but it was from giving away too much gold and other items of value as he went about.

    They are not the same.

16. Buying the American elections was a sound investment.

17. REVOLUTION NOW!!!

18. Mark my words, we will see Elon musk become the first trillionaire and then get promptly assassinated launching what amounts to the beginning of a global war.

19. And using it all for more power…and what do we say about people who want power people

20. I’m just here to watch the bootlicking. Absolutely fascinating.

21. He sells a truck for $160,000 CAD, double a normal pickup truck price, and no bed for cargo.  He’s rich because his customers are all rich suckers.  A dose of PT Barnum

22. And he complains about taxes. Obviously not hurting his net worth the little con

23. All that money and no soul

24. He’s only going to get richer. His $250 million investment will pay dividends.

25. Nah.

    John D Rockefeller had an inflation-adjusted net worth of $631 bn at his peak.

    Elon ain’t close.

26. Gross

27. How much money does one person need to get anything they could reasonably want or need? At what point does the amount of money no longer have any real consequence in any person’s life and should there be a limit?

28. How come none of you have shot him?

29. That’s a lot, especially for a guy with 2 big companies (Tesla, Space X) that have never made a single US Dollar in profit after 15 years of operations. Only in America. Before someone down votes and looks up Tesla profit to prove me wrong, I already know they report a small profit but it is far less than the American taxpayer subsidies they have received over the last decade or so.
