Money is a test of what you do with it and how you use it. Does it sit in a bank, or in a safety deposit box in the form of stock certificates or precious metals? And then you have a bunch of corporate whores on TV constantly talking about how great and cool and smart you are. Then you have other men's trashy wives trying to get with you.
Or do you put that money to work and make life on earth more tolerable for your fellow humans? And get nothing but trash and insults from TV and dudebros on the internets?
It's a test. And most people fail miserably. If I had that level of cash, the Rose of Fire Anarchist Collective in Barcelona would be dictating terms to the largest banks on the planet.

Take a good look at your friends. Which of them would kick you out of your apartment for not being able to make the rent? Which of them would lock you up in prison for stealing or selling drugs as a matter of survival? Which of them would fire you just to increase their profits? They’re the ones who will take over the world and control your future, while all of you who are honest, solidaristic, and humble are gonna get fucked.
They’ve destroyed the world you will inherit. They’ve poisoned the water and the air through their greed and disrespect for nature. They’ve cut down the forests to turn them into commodities. They’ve fucked the climate out of pure caprice and arrogance. They’ve contaminated our minds with an authoritarian, pedantic education and a stupefying culture. They’ve stolen our knowledge of how to feed ourselves, heal ourselves, build our own houses, and resolve our own conflicts so that we remain dependent on their wage labor, their police and their justice, so that we only have to learn how to serve them, obey them, and use the machines they force on us rather than our own tools. They’ve made history disappear so we don’t understand how this happened, how we lived before capitalism, and how we could live in our own future, created by us and not by them, that greedy pack of exploiters, authoritarians, torturers, and murderers. neuralnetwork.noblogs.org/.../ ___________________________
Well for one he's a genius, a hard working intelligent individual which is rare these days, He is one of the richest people in the world and chooses to live in a $50,000 house that's only 375 square feet. He has bought multi million dollar homes in the past, I think he realized that living in massive over the top homes and driving expensive cars and just going all out wasn't for him, that's why he sold them and yes he did spend a lot on cars/homes during the years he's been wealthy, But i think he's trying to change his life style to more of a simple but functional type of life whilst paying all of his attention to his companies.
People hate on him because he's different, but he's a living legend paving the road for future space exploration for all of us, He single handily brought back electric cars into popularity and successfully did so on a massive production scale...
I also like that he's not rushing to go to "space" (edge of space) like Bezos or Branson. I find it pretty cool that he's got the patience to wait, rather than feed into the publicity of competitions like that. I feel like Bezos is just money hungry, His company abuses its employees and he's out sending people to the edge of space, trying to beat elon out of NASA contracts and trying to seem all high and mighty...
Anyway Elon Launched the first car into space... like come on? that's pretty cool...
I think it's difficult for me to say. He is a ambitious and driven person. He only knows success and that comes with a few knocks and opinions that differ to his own, and perhaps a few failures too. Is his work for the greater good. I don't know. But do we always have to create things in life for the greater for that purpose or just be honest, noone wants to be poor. Sometimes we create things to be able to resolve the problem. That gives people a job so maybe he us still doing some good. I don't think any of us really have the right to like or dislike him because for every 10 that dislike him there's another 100 prepared to work with him and for him making his dreams a reality.
In the event he's a molesterer of women, men or children, purposefully and proven negligence to the planet, exploiting the poorest of society I may change my mind. But I also do follow him or his work closely enough to be able to say much more about him.
When I read the reason why he divorced his wife I was turned off ( he behaves with his wife as if she is his employee). People with money may lose out on love and enter lust arena, may be that's why he gave grimes a baby and left her. Don't you think grimes would want to marry? sex vs love. Because he has money, he chose sex because it's more convenient and easily available. He forgot what is love. Don't you think with a record of his ex wives and GFs , he would be changing partners everyday? In an interview, he once said he can't sleep alone and needs someone. His day is incomplete without sex haha. There is no love in him coz he wouldn't leave his wife because love means accepting a person with her flaws.
My future husband aka current boyfriend introduced me to everyone in his family but is super rich than me despite me being not very rich. So, you're wrong.
Opportunistic, mostly. I mean, he sells expensive cars to rich people, but really it's the humble taxpayer who pays, as most of Tesla's income has been from government subsidies of one kind or another. His behaviour regarding Bitcoin seems questionable too...
I generally think he's a good person, and well intelligent (he is successful is he not), I have heard of a few stigmas thou. haven't looked into any of it as my interest in him generally isn't that high, but it does make me wonder whether he is truly a 'good' person.
I honestly never think of him! I do think his condition would make a brilliantly perfect “special” at a gay diner though! Ass-burgers 2 for one? Or the Ass-Burberry special 4 Ass burgers, 2 large fries and 2 soft drinks for 8 dollars! I think it would work, because all my gay friends have amazing senses of humor! And the two who aren’t vegan, would fuckin’ LOVE to burry their face in a juicy ass-burger!
i dont really like him. i think he's pushing too much of his ideas and his will on people. that mind controlled car with the brain chip... he can F off if he thinks I'll get one of those. I dont want stuff like that added to my anatomy. if thats the future his ass can personally send someone to come pick me up and take me where i need to go cuz i'm not having no chips put in my skull. also isn't he using hella fossil fuels for space travel?
A guy who is a good programmer but other than that meh, and shows he is not so smart all the time. One can be highly intelligent in one way but not in other's and after what he let his son be called it shows were he ain't.
No opinion really, don't really read much about him. From the few clips I've seen though, he appears to be a smart guy with a vision and good sense of business. I definitely can't argue his success.
for better or worse he's going to change society and the human race going forward. Like him or not he's someone I think every adult needs to start paying attention to because he's going to greatly affect the economy, job market, consumer products, and popular culture with his ideas. So are good I suppose. Others sound nightmarish.
He should share some of that wealth... 3 billion could do a lot of good and is 315 billion that much less than 318... I mean c'mon I couldn't spend 1billion... Start buying yachts in bulk at Costco or a fleet of g6s. Like bezos ex wife donated a shit ton and she still has a fuck ton. Still set. Forever
Greed is a terrible trait of narcissistic egomaniacs
1 he is a business man, 2 he follows where money can be made, 3 he likes freedoms as it should be, aka, life. God given rights. He likes freedoms and choice like so many around the world. Having a choice and a voice matters.
Not a fan of him. In my country we have this rich guy Boris "Dollar" he has like 10 kids but gives off weird vibes. I feel the same about Musk for some reason. I like Jeff Bezos more haha.
