u/cpashei 17h ago
When you think about it, it isn't that weird. The weird part to me is the desire to continue hoarding mass amounts of wealth after already having more than imaginable. Once I consider what kind of person is driven by that, the rest pretty much lines up with what I'd think that person is like deep down

u/HapticRecce 16h ago
Sure, hoarding isn't weird though, it's usually a mental health issue. That's easy reality TV stuff.
What's really, really weird, is this poor, unimaginative, stunted growth child, could today, literially do anything, on Earth or in space, at least, within lunar orbit, pretty much anything imaginable. He chooses to use his historically unprecedented wealth of time and agency, to shit-post.

Like seriously. You want niche groups of people to like you? Buy WotC and fix their dipshit release schedules and print the reserved list. Buy up old videogame prototypes and shit hoarded by other rich cunts and dump and release them online. Fund movie releases that keep getting gutted for tax purposes like Coyote vs. ACME. Dig up old lost media. Do literally anything but what you're doing.
It's so easy to garner goodwill when money is literally not even a suggestion and they do shit like this. Truly baffling.

This is why Bill Gates doesn't get enough credit. The guy literally pivoted to world health rather than living a Musk/Bezos life of "let's hoard more". He gets trolled by Musk because he's no longer the wealthiest person on the planet. Well duh, he/Gates gave away half of his wealth to a Foundation focused on helping alleviate the world's health crises!

u/Chelular07 16h ago edited 16h ago
You should probably look a little more into why Bill Gates decided to have so many foundations rather than actually pay his taxes (which would also increase the amount that could go into healthcare in the United States for citizens here). It’s really nice what he’s doing around the world, but it doesn’t nearly offset what could be done if he was actually paying taxes and held accountable for his monopolization of the tech industry.
But you’re right he is still eons better than fucking musk.
ETA: https://youtu.be/lFS9DFXtj1M?si=OnK9hB7N93cZ45iX
This is part one of the Behind the Bastards podcast on Bill Gates. There are multiple parts. Because he’s such a dick.
Yes, I realize that podcasts are made by individuals and they can be very biased and have a lot of misinformation. However, Robert Evans is a very good journalist that always provides sources that you can look at in the video description. If you prefer podcast, I can send you the podcast if you want me to just list his individual sources. I will just do that.
But this is the most succinct way to learn about why I feel the way I do about Bill Gates and why I made my original comment.

u/Sheepdog44 13h ago
I used to think the Gates Foundation was cool and good for old Bill for being one of the “good” ones.
Then I realized that any charity that has $7 billion on hand is fucking terrible at their job, or maybe not actually that interested in solving whatever problem they supposedly care about.
I had a similar change of heart with Warren Buffet’s pledge to give away all of his money before he dies. Like, you’re 94 my guy. What are you waiting for? And how about you actually give it away instead of giving it to fellow billionaire Bill Gates?
There is something fundamentally broken and detached from society in anyone that accrues that much wealth.

That doesn't make any sense. You do realize lots of non profits do not exist to address a bounded solvable problem?
And I don't even know where to start with the premise "the larger the capital endowment, the worse the charitable foundation is at its purpose" because that is nuts.

u/mrdigi 16h ago
Pretty sure Bill Gates is one of them that said his taxes should be higher. Not taking deductions for charity wouldn't have automatically resulted in better US healthcare policy.
That said I'm not a defender of Bill Gates and Microsoft who has done plenty of damage to the tech industry and set us back in many ways. Also possible Epstein issues.

u/Tearakan 14h ago
Eh, literally every billionaire could give away all of their wealth and still live an insanely comfortable life. But the vast majority never do until after they are dead.
That's whay regarding of what they do with the tiny amounts they give away they are ultimately assholes at heart.

u/ShadowwKnows 16h ago
Why don't you provide sources? I can't even logically get past your first sentence. What do you mean "so many foundations"? The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is a singular entity. Also, he paid his taxes along the way, what are you implying? I don't want to be rude, but you sound to me like a bit of a conspiracy theorist.
11
u/Chelular07 16h ago
I edited my comment to include a source.
I know I sound like conspiracy theorist. And I meant charities not foundations.
But if you listen to the podcast or I can get you a list of every source Robert Evans used, you will see how Bill Gates has engineered a public persona of the nice billionaire. He has done this by lobbying against legislation for many things that his foundation supports. Such as higher taxes on billionaires to go towards public education, while his foundation provides scholarships for kids in need. Or research into vaccines while he lobbies against Universal healthcare.
He is a man that was able to become successful because of all of the opportunities he got and support from the public around him. And the first thing he did when he got any source of power was eliminate the public ability to utilize any of those same things that helped him.
His parents are the ones who encouraged him to start the foundation. He did not just think of it on his own. His ex-wife (Linda) was the one who pushed towards the multiple different types of charities that the foundation supported.
He is a guy who flew on Epstein’s plane multiple times and had a pseudo friendship with the man.

u/situation9000 14h ago
You are not a conspiracy theorist. There’s lots of shady stuff in the world. Lots of charities and foundations are shady. If there was real will to solve things, it could be done but many comforts of the wealthy rely on the suffering and poverty of others.
Now if you start spouting Qanon stuff or earth is flat, I might worry about you.

Lets not give Bill Gates too much credit here.
He is a normal person that made some pretty unethical decisions to make his wealth who realized when he had more money than he could ever spend and is using some of it to buy a better reputation for himself by doing "philanthropy". Some of that money is going to good causes, some of it is going to his pet projects that don't actually help anything (https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/10/the-plot-against-public-education-111630/)
Musk on the other hand is clearly mentally ill and just hoarding money and because money and nobody does anything because it is seen as socially acceptable to hoard money
17
u/persistantelection 16h ago
Gates said it himself in the fall of 2008, “Simply breaking up existing schools into smaller units often did not generate the gains we were hoping for.”
Simply being willing to admit failure like that puts Gates in a different league amongst billionaires.

The guy hasn't changed. He convinced Oxford University not to open-source their COVID vaccination, thus allowing the pharma corp they partnered with (AstraZenica) to make a killing when they sold it.
And that's before you understand the enormous tax write-offs he gets for running non-profits.
Yes, he's contributed significantly to global health, but he's still a billionaire industrialist and will always be. He's no saint, it's all a PR exercise. There are other billionaires out there who have done their best to donate their fortunes anonymously. Those are (ironically) the ones to acknowledge.

u/gargravarr2112 15h ago
Once you reach a certain amount of wealth, the only thing that seems to matter is making that number bigger than anyone else's; to hell with the planet, other humans, whatever, only the net worth. There have always been super-wealthy individuals but since deregulation in the 1970s, we have seen the birth of an entirely new paradigm of individual wealth. And it seems to have bizarre effects on the human brain.

Elon likes money sure - but I don’t think he’s actually that obsessed with being rich. He obsessed with power and being rich is just a byproduct at this point.

This is how democracy actually "works."
You have two major thieves' guilds that oppose each other and they come to a compromise. This compromise benefits all parties, including bystanders, and institutes some level of "fairness" in the standards of thieves.
Democracy is where regular people get the scraps left over from wealthy thieves after they've gotten their fill.
They purposefully divide people until they're collectively powerless. Right now, they're using Indian tokens and H1B to institute hatred towards Asian immigrants, while simultaneously obtaining cheap labor.
Trump & co know how opportunistic/greedy people are and so easy to divide.

100% This!
I would add one other point . Elon thought he could leverage the GOP supporting right wing ignoramus MAGA nut jobs to get Trump elected so that he could perpetuate his hyper efficient sci-fi tech utopia and make himself a Trillionaire in the process. While the right wing ignoramus MAGA nut jobs thought Elon was one of them and would leverage his money to perpetuate their gun-toting, women-in-the-kitchen, anti-vax, deregulated, white-only utopia!
And now they are learning that both goals are mutually contradictory. E.g. consider the recent brouhaha over the assassination of the United HealthCare CEO. The MAGA rank-and-file are supporting Luigi Mangione (just look at the backlash that Charlie Kirk received) and while I haven’t seen any response from Elon, He has got to realize that he is currently the poster child for elite CEO’s. Also, now look at the response Elon got on his views on H1-B visas.
We don’t just have the Leopards-eating-faces-party we now have the Leopards-eating-other-leopards-faces-party!!
For what it’s worth, Here’s my prediction: Trump will figure out that if he loses his MAGA support he will no longer be able to continue his grifts so he is going to dump Elon at some point. In the meantime Elon will realize that all his political power comes from leveraging X and getting the MAGA support as well. Both Trump and Elon are feeding from the same trough. And the MAGA nut jobs will realize neither of them actually care about their wellbeing (most likely when Trump Tariffs raise inflation and corporations continue to cut jobs thanks to AI)!!
Break out the popcorn guys because this is going to be fun to watch!!

I actually think it's the opposite. Trump doesn't think highly of his supporters either. He wants his supporters to be suit wearing billionaires and glitzy Hollywood types, not the redneck hillbilly types. Why milk millions of idiots for pennies when he can milk one idiot Muskrat for millions. He'll sooner turn on MAGA than he would turn on Musk.

u/Crazyriskman 8h ago
I don’t see it that way, at the end of the day Trump isn’t a particularly intelligent person. All his businesses have been cheesy marketing gimmicks Trump Steaks, Trump Water, etc.. He got into Real Estate thanks to his dad and had to declare bankruptcy. He got into casinos as an extension of real estate and bankrupted those as well. Nor is he an astute risk taker. Someone once described him as a dumb man’s idea of a smart person and a poor man’s idea of a rich person.
People who are truly successful are usually pretty savvy. They are good at assessing risks and rewards. Those people see Trump for the charlatan and snake oil salesman that he is. No, Trumps grift works on the ignoramus crowd not on the smart ones. Even Musk sees this. He spent $250 Million on this election as a percentage of his net worth which currently estimated at about $400 billion or is about 0.0625%. That’s like someone with a $100,000 in the bank spending $62.50. So basically lunch money. In return he is in a position to influence U.S. policy. Steer contracts towards SpaceX and Tesla and make many, many Billions more!
Naah Man! Trump is too dumb and transparent to scam the rich.

u/Top_Rekt 7h ago
That's basically what I'm saying. Trump will always kowtow to the highest bidder. Musk will outspend the millions of MAGA supporters 500x more than they ever could.
When I say milk Musk, I meant suckle on whatever ketamone infused teets Muskrats have, not actually grifting.
If he gets more money from Musk than he does from his supporters, he'll go with Musk.
Now please excuse me I need to wash the image of trump milking musk out of my head and an extremely long shower.
1
u/Crazyriskman 7h ago
Awesome! Agreed! I think Musk will go along with it as long as he thinks it benefits him. And I don’t mean in monetary terms. I think in his heart-of-hearts is an Incel nerd who still fantasizes about the cute girl who rejected him for the prom. He wants to show the world that he is Emperor of his techno-babble-dystopia sitting on a throne on Mars or something. Even for all his Billions he can’t do that on his own. He wants to bend and shape U.S. policy so that he can strategically implement whatever policies he thinks are needed so that he can achieve his sci-fi fever dream.
Now I have to go wash my eyes out with a mild acid to get rid of that image of Trump milking Musk that you so articulately painted!

They want to kick out poor immigrants so poor low class Americans can take their low pay jobs, then bring skilled immigrants to get those high skilled jobs on VISAs, and pay them significantly less that they would have to pay if they were American.
At the same time they will reduce low class subsidies and benefits so these poors don't have the option to refuse all those jobs that need to be done but are now empty because they deported all those poor immigrants, jobs that otherwise no Americans would take.

I really have to wonder...Does the average MAGA dumbfuck believe, in his heart-of-hearts, that the reason they aren't an engineer or a doctor is because *their* job was given to an immigrant? Does Cleetus think that Boeing is going to come pluck him from his part-time gas station attendant job to help design a new airliner when the foreign talent dries up?

Having talked to many of them over the years, yes, they do. They are morons, all of them, but also completely unable to reflect upon their own mistakes and better themselves. Everything that goes wrong in their lives - and it's usually a long list - is all somebody else's fault. Racism and crazy conspiracies are the usual excuses, but they will never realize that they are simply too lazy, stupid, or poorly educated to get one of those "easy" jobs that they think are being handed out freely to Blacks, immigrants, etc.

Everytime these people go after each other, we should egg it on.
If anyone wants to post about "President Musk" on X or Truth to screw with Vice President Trump, feel free to use any of these images to really piss him off. I've been trying to pull together a compilation of as many as I can find online.

Anyone else getting sick of being insulted by the billionaire class?
I'm tired of being told how much we suck by the people making sure we cant succeed. They act like they have all the answers but they are the folks that steered this ship into dangerous waters.

They are ridiculously gullible

“Tech right” is just rich people and corporations. And “maga” is just the ignorant masses who have been duped by them. The rich people moved too quickly on this one and therein lies the divide. They have never been on the same side, the rich do what is good for the rich and the ignorant masses are in fact retarded

They were called Deplorables too and look how that turned out for Hillary. Maybe they’ll take out all their hateful vengeance on Elon now.

Immigration policy has always been an elusive issue in American politics because capitalism is at odds with nationalism.

What I gathered from that whole time exchange was that there is are Americans who want to do those high paying tech jobs, but don’t want to go to college for it (likely because of cost, which is fair). The whole “liberal elite, useless liberal arts degree” was likely cope because they want jobs that require degrees. EM basically said that it would cost too much to invest in American workers and ya’ll are kinda dumb anyway. I’d feel bad if they weren’t actually awful.

There are millions of Americans who hold engineering and IT degrees in America (those are degrees that were heavily pushed to millennials as “safe/guaranteed high paying job” degrees.
The issue that people don’t seem to get is that many of these people are being overlooked or straight up laid off in favor of H-1B applicants, which from what I’ve seen mainly consist of applicants from India. They are willing to take a much lower salary than their American counterparts.
I work in manufacturing and every single job position we post is flooded with thousands of applicants from India. We have people with masters in engineering applying for tech roles. It’s crazy.

There are thousands of qualified Americans, experienced and newly graduated with degrees right here in the US. The H1-B visa program has been used since the 90s to help hire "talent from overseas and bring them here" but its really used to force those people to work cheaper and lower wages for Americans by more competition. In the last 2yrs its gotten even worse. If AI doesn't take the IT world, India will own the entire IT world in 20 yrs, whether its overthere or here. Just like China owns manufacturing and electronics. Now its not really any East Indians fault as they are just being taken advantage, its the people at the top getting cheaper labor so they can hide it overseas and afford a few more under 15 sex slaves to ride on their super yacht.

We are still weeks away from Trump taking office and everything about MAGA and the Republicans is a fucking shitshow right now.
This is going to be a long four years of watching a dumpster fire on an epic scale while the people you know who voted for this try to convince you that not only is there not a dumpster fire, but that dumpster isn’t even a dumpster! It’s a Ferrari!
I feel like the MAGA collective is trying to will their warped idea of reality into existence.

I like that they’ve advocated to “bring back” that particular word just to use it on themselves.

I dislike Musk intensely. But where did he actually say this? I see a post of him here agreeing on some stuff, but the headline is not good, unless that's what he said.
Making claims in this way only plays into the hands of those who want to cope with their shitshow of choice.

American workers don't produce well and they work they create is of very low quality.
I manage a global team and it's the reason I don't hire in the US.

u/nyepo 15h ago
And why do you think Americans are less skilled/educated/productive? Do you think this is due to genetics maybe?
Reinforce and improve education, universities, faculties, classrooms, all educational pathways and make them available to all classes, not only privileged elites.
And what will Trump do? Yeah, defund the Dept of Education 👌

The very fact that the orange turd got elected for a second time means a huge majority of Americans really are retarded and that goes to show that Musk is, actually, correct.

u/ManOfTheCosmos 13h ago
The average American is actually quite smart and productive compared to workers in most other countries. Compared to the top portion of 4 billion Asians? Probably not. If we import them they will destroy our way of life by competing with us. If the hardworking American people don't have a right to their own country, then there is no security for anyone else on the globe. Is that the world we want to live in? I don't.
