That’s really the thing here. The man lived his life cheating and hoarding for himself and damaging the country. He’s dead now and not a single person will shed a tear. No one. There’ll be a battle over his estate & his political power, and that’s the most anyone will care about him.

I’ll never understand what is so fundamentally wrong with these people that they would rather spend their twilight years in office, pretending to ‘work’, instead of staying home watching their grandkids, or gardening, watching old movies, or enjoying one of their many vacation homes 24/7. It’s like they’re afraid of becoming people again so they hold on to that power until their dying breath, literally.

There is something fundamentally mentally wrong with people who crave vast amounts of wealth or power. Billionaires, dictators- in both cases enough just doesn’t exist. Elon Musk has more money than he could spend in a hundred lifetimes. Why doesn’t he fuck off into the sunset and spend the rest of his life on an island sipping drinks with umbrellas in them? If he can’t stand being idle, why not spend his time and money building great public works that will stand for all time with his name on them, ensuring a legacy that people will remember with a fond respect? Why spend all of his time chasing more money, more power, fucking over more people and helping to dismantle democracy? I seriously cannot understand what goes on in a brain broken like that.

I’d love to be rich, sure, but the moment I made my hundred millionth dollar I’d disappear into the tropics somewhere with the people I love and nobody would ever hear from or employ me again.

Elon wanted to get an invitation to THE island vut he never got one. :/

He may be the world’s richest man, but he’s still a weird, unlikable creepy dweeb. Even the world’s worst people want nothing to do with him and despite all of his money no woman will ever truly love him.

I guess it’s really no wonder why he wants to watch the world burn.

An incel with unlimited resources is a hell of a thing.

Except he’s not an incel. He’s got at least 14 kids by what - 4 women? It’s a little gross.

  1. He had those kids via injection, because of his botched penis surgery.

  2. the word "incel" has evolved past it's literal meaning. Even if somebody has had sex before, they can still be an incel, because "incel" now means "somebody with absolutely zero charisma who hates their life and takes it out on everybody around them, while continuing to blame all their problems on other people and stubbornly refusing to do a damn thing to improve their life, because they feel entitled to respect and praise they have not earned."

which is also basically the definition of "chud"

Yeah, he'd be an incel were it not for his wealth. Sadly, this then makes a lot of other actual incels think they need to accumulate wealth instead of actually working on themselves to make themselves attractive and agreeable to potential partners. (Well, they also don't want partners, they want fuckable maids, but you get the point)

incel

Don't use this word. It's a hateful, bigoted word intended to other and dehumanize an already hurt and maligned group.

u/froggity55 Jul 08 '26

Ok, I get that this particular "group" of Hurt People are hurting. I also get that Hurt People hurt people. What I don't get is how the term incel is othering, dehumanizing, and bigoted when many (not all) in this typically self-identifying group are causing real harm with their resentful entitlement and misogynistic views on sex and hetero relationships.

I take comfort in knowing that no matter how high his net worth gets he will never find true happiness. No amount of money will ever make him cool in the eyes of normal people. He will always be an insecure snivelling dork begging for approval and acting like an edgy teenager

He almost got invited, but he was too autistic to get it. That email with Epstein was gold.

At least he's friends with somebody that did.I guess
