Bill Gates has given away over seventy BILLION dollars through his charitable foundation. Yet there's a significant chunk of people who believes he's an evil mastermind who created COVID to force everyone to get microchips injected which he can control via 4G
Yeah, rightoids are to blame for the hourly "eat the rich" circlejerk, sure.
BTW kill "journos" not in minecraft Rowling being charitable is HALF TRUE

Charity is a fricking meme anyway. Billionaires get to larp as philanthropists, while all the money gets pocketed by the wealthy failchildren who work at non-profits.

Neighbor you live in Vancouver. How TF did you get malaria?
/u/sandiercy Jesus that is the most average-redditor profile I've ever seen. Your Canadian, leather-handbag-sewing father just happens to be a Trumper?

It really is a mindboggling thing to say. At no point in that guy's life have antimalarials been difficult to obtain in wealthy nations. Tons of people take them prophylactically when they know they'll be traveling to a region where malaria is endemic. I've done so myself on multiple occasions. It's no big deal.
But here he is, acting like he was born into an impoverished family in Sub-Saharan Africa. And within the past 20 years at that, since he'd have to be pretty young to have received a vaccination or treatment thanks to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. And Redditors once again prove just how fricking parochial they are by falling for it hook, line, and sinker and upmarseying that comment to +170.

Every company Elon makes is an attempt to better humanity. Electric cars, space flight, giving quadriplegics a second life. The things he pursues isnt just rent seeking bullshit fintech.
It actually infuriates me to no end that r*dditors think putting out flashy displays of gibs is a better use of resources. No, b-words, Id rather see Mars.

I mostly agree with you about elon but tbh every tech company is investing heavily in ai rn so musk isnt unique in that aspect. Microsoft signed a 20 yr deal in September to bring the three mile island nuclear reactor back online just to power their data centers

Sure, but the fact you can think of Tesla as a tech company and not a car company is kind of the point tho

The cars themselves aren't impressive. It's the battery tech. They even sell the batteries for other uses with Powerwall and megapack.

If those companies would operate better without him, then their existing competitors are currently outperforming them.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Those companies are doing good (those that actually do) due to being owned by Musk, I'm not going to argue against that. He really believes in the goals set for those companies.
But he has a tendency to meddle with how they operate on a lower level (or forces them to focus on his shitty passion projects), and when he does he usually shits things up for no other reason than thinking he knows better.
I mainly dislike him for that, and being cringe.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Yeah his low-level meddling is a blessing and a curse for Tesla.
Him being cringe on social media is fun cause it infuriates the online horde of smarmy downwardly-mobile "intellectuals" when they see the exact type of uncultured techbro they hate so much succeed.

Dude forgets that Musk already was the reddit saviour of the world a few years ago. Those same r-slurs that worshipped him then now hate him. You cant buy the goodwill of the people because people are r-slurred and greedy.
Im not saying that billionaires are good people btw, they are also greedy and r-slurred, but I can at least understand why they dont want to throw their fortune away trying to gain goodwill with redditors lol. Even if they did theyd probably get canceled by them for some anti shit they said 30 years ago.
