Ok it’s clear to me now…the wealthiest man on the planet intends to get richer by using honeypot tweets like this to whip otherwise sane people into to a constant state of fear that extremists are taking over the country.

This not free speech. It’s a 2-minute-hate stretched into a 24/7 primal scream, orchestrated by a soulless billionaire for his own financial gain and amusement.

Ok, rant over. Glad I made the jump to Mastodon : )

Kinda slow but welcome to finally getting it. Now apply it to all other multimillionaires and billionaires.

@Sir_Ivissia I will cop to being slow on the uptake at times. But I’m of the opinion that billionaires aren’t all greedy & soulless. Plenty of very rich people give some/most/nearly all of their fortune to charitable causes. Nobody is evil only because of their wealth. And I’m all for rich people getting richer, provided they are bringing everyone else along for the ride. Elon is, well, not doing that.

Used to think the same. Then I noticed that the charitable causes invariably benefitted them and their interests - every single time. No exceptions.
You'll learn. Or you won't. Least you've started looking and that gets respect from me.

@Sir_Ivissia I hear you. How would you respond to this thought experiment…a billionaire starts a company that gives all 500 employees 0.1% ownership & profit-sharing (in addition to a livable wage) while he keeps the other 50%.

Is the billionaire evil/greedy? Has he really done nothing to make the world a little better place?

@Sir_Ivissia and if nothing else, would you not concede this is proof that not all rich people are rotten to the core?
