madcaesar comments on Big mad Elon after he exposed his alt account

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago (9 children)

I was arguing with people online that he's a piece of shit for years and kept getting downvoted by fanboys talking about him being Tony Stark.

This isn't some look how smart I was comment, I just assumed he was a piece of shit because he was a billionaire and I assume every billionaire is a piece of shit unless an overwhelming amount of evidence is presented.

Moral of the story is, never worship celebrities and certainly never worship billionaires, unless they are fictional ie batman, then you can like them since it's inconsequential.

I don't think you need to have the stipulation for evidence about billionaires not being shit. I don't think you can be a billionaire without being shit. If you have that much money and aren't giving it away, you're a bad person. That's ignoring how you got it in the first place, which basically requires unfairly benefiting from others work without compensation, excluding inheritance.

There can be no amount of evidence that could make someone a good billionaire. They get that way by stealing the rightful wages of their workers, among other nefarious schemes.

It was a mix of the constant lying about Teslas future mixed with him reminding me of a rapist I know that fixed my perception of him.

Even Batman sucks, his existence is to protect the rich.
