    Musk had gone after MacKenzie Scott for her charitable donations, writing “‘Super rich ex-wives who hate their former spouse’ should be listed among ‘Reasons that Western Civilization died’.”

    Scott, who has stated that she wants to “give away all of her money”, has given over $16.5 billion, with over half that going to charities focused on gender and race issues."

    This guy is such a piece of shit. How is it even okay in any way to shame someone for… ::double checks notes:: gives most of their money to charity.

    I’d say Western civilization died when people started being worth more than they could ever possibly spend in a hundred lifetimes.

    I wonder what Elon would know about such things…

      To live your life sure, but it’d actually pretty easy to spend it if you wanted to spend it.

      You could easily dump a couple hundred billion into fusion research for example.

      If it worked well you’d probably become a trillionaire, but no guarantes there.

        That’s not the kinda stuff that should be dictated by individual people just because they are rich, but by a democracy and/or a team of experts.

    Today I also learned about Musk’s racist rant against HBCU…

    Every fucking day I think to myself that he couldn’t possibly be a worse person and every fucking day I’m proved wrong.

      Reminds me of:

      "The Encyclopedia Galactica defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as "Your Plastic Pal Who’s Fun to Be With. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing devision of the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation as “a bunch of mindless jerks who’ll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes”

    I’m wondering how many of his issues are because he’s just an asshole, or if he’s going through a long spell without pussy.

    You know what, its probably because he’s an asshole.

    I still asking why did Grimes had a relationship with him. Because she is the kind of person that I would never imagine having something with a far-right billionaire white dude.

      To be fair, phony stark wasn’t always far-right (or at least not publicly). He (like trump and many other bastards) were lefty earlier on before going full-on right wing. Doesn’t make the Grimes thing make sense, but it plays a part no doubt.

    At this point, what woman is willing to let his dick anywhere near them? Traditionally, this is where you get zero pussy ever again for posting blatant incel shit.
