Elon promises to pay your legal bills.

Goes to show how right-wingers have zero concept of how much a billion dollars actually is. Dude could burn several piles of hundred dollar bills daily and still never run out in his lifetime. That doesn't make him smart or worthy of veneration unless your brain is completely smooth.
So all the doom and gloom that's been said about Elon is untrue? I hope those who were spreading that disinformation don't come across your post. It could make them very angry.

No he's still very much driving the company into the ground, the rebranding even got it banned in several countries because "X" is so associated with porn. All I'm saying is he can afford to be a fucking moron, unlike many of the morons who worship him.

I dare Elon Musk help someone to sue Walmart since Walmart has a lot of lawyers.

Don't say stupid on social media, so you won't get fired at job, also you have to stay anonymous too.

I really want to like Musk for pushing forward some industries (Tesla, Space X, Neuralink), but he does so many dumb/pointless things.

This stunt is only going to increase his own headaches by empowering the worst people to publicly be their worst selves.

Another one for the list.
"Like Donald Trump, But For Nerds"

That's actually an apt comparison. On paper, both ideas sound refreshing.

Trump, an outspoken outsider that became a politician to clean the swamp in favor for the little people.
Musk, one of the richest men in the world using his money to further industries and studies that are beneficial to the world.

Trump has already shown that he isn't that person in the slightest. I'm still still crossing my fingers that Musk can stop doing dumb things.

I want to got to Mars before all the volcanoes go off. Somewhere nicer than Mars would be preferred though.

Colorado is beautiful right now after a year of heavy rainfall, all the flowers and trees overgrown. Just hoping we get our usual four seasons though, no guarantee of that this year with temperatures in the Southern hemisphere hitting 90s during their winter.

I went to Vail 20 years ago for a ski trip. I'd like to see the other 3 seasons, too, but I have no plans.

Maybe you will like the Moon more.

I heard Mars has water.

Musk did have a better eye for investment than Trump ever did but he let his ego get in the way. He is 52 now. We have a saying here that goes something like "old fool doesn't learn languages". He has got to that post-middle age stubborn phase.

But, but, I was told 'murica was great because of at-will employment and none of that worker rights socialism! Guess we found the one thing the holy market doesn't solve, huh. Thoughts and prayers.

The funniest things about threads about Elon Musk are all the non-billionaires who think they can make money better than Elon or are smarter than Elon or can run a business better than Elon.

"You guys have no idea how difficult it was to be born filthy rich."

What's next, gonna try to garner sympathy for him by calling the Apartheid emerald mine owner an "African?" Every company he's bought would be better off without him. Or more precisely, they'd be better off with the money but without the man.

I think he has a point. It can be harder to hold onto money than it is to earn it. If you have luxuries in your life, such as games, free time to talk on internet forums, and the like... then complaining about people being rich seems moot and counterproductive, and maybe even vain/conceited/hypocritical. If you wanted to be rich more than you wanted to be "comfortable" I'm sure you'd start acting in productive ways instead of the empty lip service, excuses, and emotional grift.

People have different ideas of what it means to be "rich". Finding out what it means for you is probably step 1 if it is something you want in your life.
