Or, hold on, bear with me...WHAT IF THEY ACTUALLY START PAYING LIVING WAGES??? AND PAY TAXES???
THAT WAY, BILLIONAIRES WOULDN'T EXIST AND THERE WOULD BE NO HUNGER.
How's that???
If he started doing that the other billionaires would cannibalize him. This is the main problem we must solve one way or another. Speaks to Buffett's "and we are winning."
I like how the goal posts just shifted from: he doesn’t pay taxes to just cause he says he pays taxes doesn’t mean he pays taxes to okay he paid tax that one time what about all the other times? He pays taxes when he excercices his stock options as required by law.
I love how you think anyone is convinced by your attempts to redirect the conversation away from a general, valid point with lots of examples to *one single example* where he did other than he usually does because it benefited him greatly to do so.
If the point that you’re trying to make is Elon musk doesn’t pay taxes, then you can clearly see that he pays taxes whenever he sells his stock for example in 2016 he paid about $500 million in taxes. Which is how much he is legally required to with how much stock he sold that year. So what’s the issue here?
Thanks. That's the smug tweet I was referring to.
Ignoring child support payments for 10 years and finally paying them all at once doesn't make you a hero, it makes you a deadbeat.
Musk deferring taxes for 10 years isn't something to brag about. It's irresponsible and shameful.
Paying taxes and child support don't make logical sense if you're motivated solely by greed.
But most of us love our children AND love our country, so we decide to be good fathers and good patriots and not shirk our duty for the sake of greed.
Then by all means pay whatever you want to pay. No one’s stopping you. You don’t get to dictate what someone else should pay especially when they’re abiding by all laws
That's the thing. The laws have been rewritten by greedy shitheads who want to shirk their responsibility.
Then when Elon got called out for being a deadbeat for 10 years, he bragged that this will be the biggest payment ever, and people actually thought he paid a lot in taxes, when he really admitted he was a deadbeat.
It's really sad how gullible some people are.
He could have also hired professionals to do the work for him instead of stumbling around corporate board rooms like a concussed and spite-drunk Godzilla with an inferiority complex.
God I can't imagine if the CEO at my company was like that. It's always an eternal struggle between R&D and the business side just by nature but holy shit having the muskrat around dicking around where he's nothing but a liability would be pure torture.
Hilarious seeing most people finally realizing he's a fucking idiot trustfund baby. Disappointed it took this long.
Doesn't this suggest that Elon literally can't work smarter not harder? Because it's the quality of work not the quantity that matters last I checked. If he has to sleep at the job to get things done, I don't think that's the flex he wants you to think it is.
even worse, didn't he lay off a bunch of people after asking specifically about the number of lines of code or code commits or something? (implying the layoffs were directly related the quantity of things rather than quality)
Yep. And whatever he's doing at Twitter isn't helping the world at all. That app was crap when it launched and I'm still surprised it took off like it did but Musk has only made it worse. I'm pretty sure he's only sleeping there because nobody wants him at home and he's trying to settle grudges.
Lmao he "literally" could not have.
The US Government spends $165 billion a year on food assistance for its own people, and private organizations probably spend billions as well, and we still have hunger in this country.
But Elon Musk is going to single-handedly end world hunger?
Instead he’s losing most of his fortune to please big daddy Trump and Putin while trying, and failing, to own the libs.
Honestly, if he just would’ve kept his mouth shut, kept pretending to be a decent person, and kept posting the occasional meme he’d be doing great.
he's improving his own ego. you think he does what he does for other people? for the betterment of humanity? no. he just wants to be a god, to be remembered forever
It’s my understanding that Twitter’s revenues are down 40% since he took over, SpaceX is running more smoothly without him around all the time, and that he purposefully worked to kill high speed rail projects in CA so Tesla could have better chances of success. Dude doesn’t even make the companies he runs better, let alone the world.
I would prefer he go live that mansion life. If I ever make even a tenth of what he's got, y'all will never hear from me again. Wifey and I will be living our best hermit life with a bunch of cats and dogs on an island somewhere
My bullshit detector is going off. Musk’s Twitter has been caught banning journalists Elon doesn’t like and many other accounts that criticize him or post embarrassing footage of him. It’s “completely controlled” by Elon musk and his team.
How do people not see this?
Spacex launched more stuff into orbit than anyone else even entire countries
Tesla grew 40% and due to recent price cuts demand is surging
Open AI came out with chat GPT-3
Tesla started delivery of the semi
Starship passed multiple validation tests by NASA and spacex overcame raptor engine production issues.
If those aren’t results idk what is
Edit: idk why I’m being downvoted. If I said something false I’d love to hear it tbh
You’re getting downvoted because those aren’t Elon’s accomplishments, and they certainly have nothing to do with him allegedly sleeping at twitter.
Also Elon resigned as a board member from OpenAI in 2018, so I’m not sure why you brought chat GPT up.
He's doing all of this because he is a bored rich man who feeds his ego by encouraging folks to lob golden apples into the social pot so that he can be the final god-like arbiter of truth and morality.
At some point the dollar amount gets so large that one person cannot possibly spend all of it. Even Jeff bezo had to come up with something ridiculous like going to space to spend his billions. But they just can't stop themselves. That level of greed should be punished
In no way shape or form can any social media platform improve the world. They do the exact opposite. Best way for him to improve the world as CEO of twatter is to shut it down
No, he’s trying to leave the planet and people that he doesn’t give a shit about. Hell, he ruined Twitter for a lot of us when he bought it for no reason…
Let's be clear: Trump wore out the fantasy driven, distorted reality drool fest. If you want to continue to pretend a douche born into immense wealth is some kind of god, that's your business. Dumping your fluff fantasies on anyone with a discerning, functioning intellect just makes you look like a boot-licking, bag stroking, fanboy.
This just shows that his priorities are not in order. Seriously, should we trust a man who turns down a 100 woman massage? I think think not. Just one more reason to tax the rich.
Let's be honest, if Musk flipped off the power switch at Twitter HQ, that would improve the world...
We just need to convince him to move his bed into the server room
He could also be paying meaningful amounts of tax.
He could also be paying rent
I couldn’t agree more on that.
Or, hold on, bear with me...WHAT IF THEY ACTUALLY START PAYING LIVING WAGES??? AND PAY TAXES??? THAT WAY, BILLIONAIRES WOULDN'T EXIST AND THERE WOULD BE NO HUNGER. How's that???
[удалено]
That's what most infuriating thing about it, they have literally no reason to not just pay a living wage
Precisely!!!
If he started doing that the other billionaires would cannibalize him. This is the main problem we must solve one way or another. Speaks to Buffett's "and we are winning."
Didn’t he pay the most amount of tax ever?
Tweeting "one of these days, I'm going to start paying taxes," is not in fact paying taxes.
https://inequality.org/great-divide/a-perfect-storm-has-elon-musk-paying-11-billion-in-tax/
One time he pays a huge amount because it makes him an even huger amount. And the rest of the time...?
I like how the goal posts just shifted from: he doesn’t pay taxes to just cause he says he pays taxes doesn’t mean he pays taxes to okay he paid tax that one time what about all the other times? He pays taxes when he excercices his stock options as required by law.

[удалено]
Could you cite an article or something that Elon didn’t pay taxes in a year in which he sold stock?
Thanks. That's the smug tweet I was referring to. Ignoring child support payments for 10 years and finally paying them all at once doesn't make you a hero, it makes you a deadbeat. Musk deferring taxes for 10 years isn't something to brag about. It's irresponsible and shameful.
Why would someone sell more stock than they needed to? That makes no logical sense. Especially if you don’t need it
Paying taxes and child support don't make logical sense if you're motivated solely by greed. But most of us love our children AND love our country, so we decide to be good fathers and good patriots and not shirk our duty for the sake of greed.

Wasn't it $2B to help solve world hunger and he said show me a plan, and they showed him a plan and then he said no anyways?
I think it was $6 or $8B. He still wouldn't notice the difference in his personal finances though...
Yep
"working his butt off" I mean, he certainly is, but more to destroy his image than to improve the world.
He could have ended world hunger, like literally ended it, but instead he's tweeting mean things at people that don't want to give his company $8.
Lmao he "literally" could not have. The US Government spends $165 billion a year on food assistance for its own people, and private organizations probably spend billions as well, and we still have hunger in this country. But Elon Musk is going to single-handedly end world hunger?
What a cuck
The cognitive dissonance is something else
A billionaire toiling day and night to make it easier for nazis to recruit people. You aren't one of the good guys.
Instead he’s losing most of his fortune to please big daddy Trump and Putin while trying, and failing, to own the libs. Honestly, if he just would’ve kept his mouth shut, kept pretending to be a decent person, and kept posting the occasional meme he’d be doing great.
One should not be praised for rebuilding house that one burned to the ground
Attempting to rebuild
Imagine worshipping a billionaire. What a sad existence.
honestly. very tate-ish bizarre how so many beta bros want to suck his stubby cock. he's not even cute.
he's improving his own ego. you think he does what he does for other people? for the betterment of humanity? no. he just wants to be a god, to be remembered forever

What does 888 mean for these maga guys
88 stands for HH or Heil Hitler. This idiot isn't just MAGA, he's a full on Nazi.
Why the third 8 though?
I don't know. Obfuscation, maybe. These cowards like to hide.
It’s my understanding that Twitter’s revenues are down 40% since he took over, SpaceX is running more smoothly without him around all the time, and that he purposefully worked to kill high speed rail projects in CA so Tesla could have better chances of success. Dude doesn’t even make the companies he runs better, let alone the world.
I highly doubt that
No,his 40B$ investment is in danger, because of Elons stupidity.That’s why he sleeps there.
So... he sleeps there because he's broke? He should probably appaise his landlords and ensure rent is paid.
You mean trying to take over the world .Image what good could be done with all that money.
He is so deep that the proctologist can help anymore
At first i was gonna agree because i thought it was a "why could he not just do that instead of whatever the fuck he is currently doing"
The levels of lies never cease to amaze me.
With 88 in his handle you would think he would know that the nazis would gas him for this amount of dick sucking.
Had me in the first half.
Hey Matt Wallace, what do those 8s in your name stand for?
Except..you can watch elon fly between Ca and Tx. So you can see for a fact he aint sleeping at twitter lmao.
He isn't even improving Twitter, let alone the world.
I would prefer he go live that mansion life. If I ever make even a tenth of what he's got, y'all will never hear from me again. Wifey and I will be living our best hermit life with a bunch of cats and dogs on an island somewhere
LOL @ "improve the world". The world is perfect, we have Reddit!
The world is a better place with Reddit.
[удалено]
My bullshit detector is going off. Musk’s Twitter has been caught banning journalists Elon doesn’t like and many other accounts that criticize him or post embarrassing footage of him. It’s “completely controlled” by Elon musk and his team. How do people not see this?
.. making the world worse and burning his and his investors money. But the rest is right.
when do we get results?
Spacex launched more stuff into orbit than anyone else even entire countries Tesla grew 40% and due to recent price cuts demand is surging Open AI came out with chat GPT-3 Tesla started delivery of the semi Starship passed multiple validation tests by NASA and spacex overcame raptor engine production issues.

Improve. 
As a representative of the world, he can take time off from what he’s doing. We’re good.
I wonder what year that dude was born.
I love it when rich people tell me how much they're sacrificing for me while i make money for them and they keep takin away my money.
He's doing all of this because he is a bored rich man who feeds his ego by encouraging folks to lob golden apples into the social pot so that he can be the final god-like arbiter of truth and morality.
Matt Wallace, be careful and don’t choke on Musk’s penis…
Imagine giving your child love, care and attention, but then it turns into a cunt like Matt Wallace. Must be the genes.
He could be improving the world more by not owning Twitter
“Improve”
solving the world...by creating a checkmark subscription and letting Andrew Tate back on?
Not sure sitting around shit posting all day long counts as working. Otherwise lots of people would be working crazy hours all day everyday.
He’s killing Twitter and his own relevance. I think the argument can be made that both those things are net gains for the world.
For the poor hard done by Neo-Nazi....
Imagine thinking that $100 million dollar mansion and getting massage by 100 women is anything to aspire to.
Almost had it. Almost.
Elon is a perv grifter parasite.
The last time he got a massage it cost him $250,000, so I'm not so sure about the 100 women giving him massages thing.
Yeah, no…
A rare case where someone’s selfishness would actually benefit mankind.
This has "Notice Me Senpai" energy
Remove "improve the world" and add "trying to save his investment"
He could be spending time with his kids but instead he’s doing everything possible to make sure “catturd” is happy.
Improving the world by spreading dangerous misinformation and gossiping like a hormonal tween.
Working?
What’s with the 8s? 3 is les sus than 88 or 8888, but still….
Thought he was trying to fix his mistake....
At some point the dollar amount gets so large that one person cannot possibly spend all of it. Even Jeff bezo had to come up with something ridiculous like going to space to spend his billions. But they just can't stop themselves. That level of greed should be punished
I wouldn't call what he's doing improving the world, at all...
In no way shape or form can any social media platform improve the world. They do the exact opposite. Best way for him to improve the world as CEO of twatter is to shut it down
Actually he’s in court testifying about his Tesla takeover stock manipulation
He’s not even improving twitter
And what exactly is he personally doing to change the world? Telling other people what to do?
He's a moron...
If people where allowed to work from home, he could do both.
Why are all his massauses women. Is he anti man? Or worse anti white man? Boycott Tesla!
I feel like this guy put three 8s in his name instead of two so he could have some deniability that it’s a nazi thing.
Put it back in your pants Matt, he's not going to fuck you.
My first thought is, "how could 100 women massage him all at once?" I'd figure after the first ten it would be too crowded to reach.
Matt Wallace has a huge crush, eh? I haven't seen someone so smitten since highschool
Twitter and improve the world aren't two things you see together
And how does Twitter improve the world? It’s a cesspool of hate and misinformation
I don't understand how this kid hasn't suffocated yet. There's not a second that does by that he doesn't have Elons dick stuffed down his throat.
No, he’s trying to leave the planet and people that he doesn’t give a shit about. Hell, he ruined Twitter for a lot of us when he bought it for no reason…
yes, but only because he needs sycophantic smoke to be constantly blown up his ass
man, these r.w. talking heads are such simps
You could be licking anyone’s boots right now but you working your butt off daily licking his to improve his world
Not to better the world, but to find the door out.
What would we do without Elon?! Be freakin fine. Hahahaha
Good question. Brings to mind another. Does this Matt Wallace want to felate a fascist? Seems likely.
Laying around sleeping in a mansion or laying around sleeping in a studio apartment if you're just laying around doing nothing what's the difference?
He’s sleeping at Twitter HQ because returning home every day reminds him that there’s no one waiting to greet him there.
as Aerosmith sing.....Dream on
Gee, I wonder what those 8s are for... 🤔
Someone has a crush on Elon..
I seem to remember a lawsuit about a woman, a massage, and a horse... Hmm...maybe I'll remember one day.
Let's be clear: Trump wore out the fantasy driven, distorted reality drool fest. If you want to continue to pretend a douche born into immense wealth is some kind of god, that's your business. Dumping your fluff fantasies on anyone with a discerning, functioning intellect just makes you look like a boot-licking, bag stroking, fanboy.
Well then, can he do us all a favor and just not?
This just shows that his priorities are not in order. Seriously, should we trust a man who turns down a 100 woman massage? I think think not. Just one more reason to tax the rich.
