YOU'RE BLUE NOW.

THAT'S MY ATTACK!

NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!!!

GOT HEEEM

Just because he is an opportunist and has all that money sure does not make him a genius.

He can move to Miami, where he and the cryptobro scammers who are the backbone of the Florida tech economy can make Bioshock the next scifi story they wilfully misunderstand and try to make real.

Get owned Elon, now you will have to start bribing the democrats !

move back to South africa where you and thiel belong.

He needs frequent and loud reminders that most people hate him and he's never gonna be cool.

Mars is red, he can move there?

The weird thing about it all is how inevitable it always was. Texas went out of its way to attract tech companies, tech companies attracted educated people, educated people vote Democrat.

Musk and this new batch of billionaires (essentially the entire plutocratic class) got rich through financialization. Unlike the railroad barons and gilded age industrialists, they did a whole lot less producing things of value and a whole lot more rent-seeking. That is to say, they hacked the economy to get fake-rich, and also bribed government officials to keep such hacking legal. (Seriously, they pushed to reverse laws to stop them from doing shit.)

Money in the US remains entrenched, and so long as it is, it cannot operate in good faith to serve the public good. We can have self-government, or we can have billionaires. We can't have both.

This batch, however, is a catastrophic existential risk to the human species. They just can't help themselves, and admit as much, investing not-small amounts into apocalypse shelters anticipating the collapse of the civilization on which they depend. Rather than, say, using their vast gains intelligently to keep the system going.

Because I like to offer deep dives, Demonetized (a spin-off of How Money Works) did a deep dive on why billionaires are so crazy. And How Business Worked (another spinoff of HMW) did one on why the uber-wealthy historically collapse civilizations they depend on.

In the meantime, now that Texas has a blue governor and a blue AG, Musk is going to have a lot of work cut out for him since he used bribes and lies to bypass zoning restrictions for his rocket launchpads, and they're shaking apart the homes of nearby neighborhoods. He really is worse than Blofeld or Luthor.

this looks like an AI pic of musk as if he knew how to smile like a real human. it is missing his traditional k-hole assymetry of his wonky expressions, staring off into random points on the wall. like a mask of a human that doesnt quite fit.

Musk could have just set the $400 million dollars he gave to Republicans this election on fire rather than back Trump again.

"I spent 500 million to buy the election and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."

We should allow him to live his dream and blast him to mars.

This man-child is all the proof we'll ever need that in an improperly regulated capitalist system you can rise to the very top, no matter how fucking stupid you are, as long as you're born with more resources than most.

And if he isn't enough, you can consider Donald Trump as well.

No safe harbour for billionaires. Let them take their billions to some little crab island with no taxes but many many crabs.

Joe Rogan gonna move his comedy club to Oklahoma

I hope they freeze his assets and reasses his tax bill to make him pay his fair share before he tries to leave again

He can move to the surface of the sun. Just tell him it'll be cool and dark if he goes at night, he's a moron so it has a good chance of working.

He can move back to California now that we've shown we're incapable of passing a wealth tax.

NASA should sell him Cape Canaveral for 500 billion so he gets his red state base and they get their funding for a few years.
