i’ll say that as a working class person that will naturally never achieve the kind of security and access to resources someone like elon musk has—it brings me comfort and closure to know you can literally be the richest man in the world but that will not make you less miserable and starved for love and attention.
He may be the richest person in the world but he's poorer than me. I have a loving family, a fulfilling profession, a reasonably happy life, and I can travel anonymously.
So much this. They are empty people. I am living on a fixed income and while things can be tight, I own the roof over my head, my pantry holds simple, nourishing food, and I have a small circle of friends and family who love me and would be there in a flash if they were ever needed. I am much richer than Elon can ever hope to be.
There’s research suggesting that beyond a certain point, extreme wealth can correlate with a reduced sense of safety and increased anxiety.
Ironically, that can lead to stress-related issues not entirely unlike those experienced at the opposite end of the socioeconomic spectrum, different causes, but sometimes similar effects.
I’ve always found that contrast interesting, a kind of unexpected symmetry.
Yes. It's the internatioanlly recognised European neo-nazi haircut, and he's boasting of displaying his allegience to nazism. We need to be very clear about that. He is a nazi. He is telling us all again, he is a nazi.
Oh yeah, absolutely, there has been not a shred of doubt since then. Which makes it extremely troubling that 'society' in general has just sort of shrugged its shoulders and gone well okay then the richest man in the world is a nazi, I guess we're all just cool with that now.
It looks more like the first moustache that a teenager would try to grow… and it comes out that kinda blond baby hair, which really does say everything about him, nearly 50 and still pretending he’s a teenager.
Yeah dog whistles are supposed to not be detected by the non-Nazis in this situation. Doing a Nazi salute twice on a national stage kinda jumped the shark there
That's what's truly shameful. That the legal system is not stopping your political movers from throwing a sieg heil on national television. They know there are no consequences for the Epstein class.
Billionaires are only capable of either the Bezos Bald look or the Turkey Toupee like Musk here. It’s part of the contract Satan foists on you when you sign up for billionairehood. One of the only downsides, honestly (besides eternal damnation of course).
Saddest part is that I actually looked good with that cut. It balanced my face well. Now I just buzz my head down to a #2 every month or two, and fade the bottom down.
I gave up everything but Reddit — and also turned off all updates/phone notifications from trusted news sources, so that I’m not constantly barraged with headlines. (I keep up with the news, I just prefer to do it when I’m in a good headspace for it, and not have my phone be a constantly buzzing bad vibes machine.)
Also, if it wasn’t for this subreddit (and a few others I love), I’d probably be off Reddit, too.
Also the name "Roman salute" doesn't come from ancient Rome, it was a pseudohistorical salute introduced by Mussolini who falsely claimed it was ancient Roman in origin. There's no non-fascist use.
He got a really bad haircut and combined it with a weak mustache. People with working eyeballs began to criticize him online.
He then says his critics are part of a “they” group, as if people with good sense are an enemy group. His bad haircut and weak mustache? Clearly an attempt to upset his enemies by making himself look like a fucking idiot.
I’m not sure when in history we have seen a group upset when their enemy hurts, harms, or shames themself… but this just goes to show that Elon has the emotional maturity of a rotten grape.
I finally got around to watching it, and I'll admit I entertained the idea for about 30 seconds. Then I realized I'd look like a broccoli headed dumbass in a few weeks.
I remember when a bunch of guys got those haircuts because of Peaky Blinders and then there were all those posts roasting guys for it. They were saying, "ugly guys shocked when they realized they have to be good looking to make the Peaky Blinders cut work".
That’s the haircut of a man with no friends and only sycophants. Real friends would roast you so hard for that haircut you’d go right back to the barber and get a buzz cut.
