"Now what?" Is apparently helping to turn the United States in to Nazi Germany for "teh lolz"

[-] Malyca@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 hours ago

He's a parasite, he will continue to feed on us until nothing is left. Maybe kill some more kids for fun because it's the only way he feels anything.

[-] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 3 hours ago

Now he accumulates more wealth, there is no end to capitalist accumulation.

[-] BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I bet that loser types asks this to Grok AI lol

[-] Raccoon_Rick@altgag.net 8 points 2 hours ago

No amount of money in the world will make him a better PoE2 player

[-] JustDorky@lemmy.world 2 points 48 minutes ago

Worlds richest loser

[-] Airfried@piefed.social 5 points 3 hours ago

He will continue to make our lives harder of course.

[-] GalacticSushi@piefed.blahaj.zone 84 points 6 hours ago

Nothing. If you were born in 1AD and earned 1,000,000 every single day without spending a single penny you still would not be a trillionaire today. He will never spend that wealth , he will use that money to get loans that he does not owe taxes on, using that money to acquire even more capital. He has stated his goal is 10 trillion. At no point along the way will he use his wealth or influence to directly improve any common person's life. He is a cancer on our planet, on our economy, and on our civilization.

Its only been 738,715 days since 1/1/0001 so this checks

[-] VonReposti@feddit.dk 3 points 5 hours ago

My calculations make it 739,802

Baseline: 2025 * 365 = 739,125

Leap years: Floor(2025 / 4) = 506 - floor(2025 / 100) = 486 + floor(2025 / 400) = 491 (every 4th year except every 100th year with the exception of every 400th year)

1st of Jan 2026 to 5th of June 2026: 186

Total: 739,125 + 491 + 186 = 739,802

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 hours ago

Why not just do 2025×365.2425 + 186?

Also note: the Gregorian calendar was not in use yet at the start of this, so that might throw off all your calculations

Typo. That's probably July.

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 4 hours ago

Dog catches car.

Is dissapointed.

[-] EndOfLine@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

It's like asking a hoarder what they plan to do with all of those .

It's a mental illness but instead of recognizing it as such, calling it out and getting them treatment, society celebrates them and says they are doing everything that everybody else should strive for.

[-] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

That money is trying to fill a hole in his soul of infinite deapth.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 32 points 6 hours ago

Money isn’t the endgame. It’s power. He wants to own the world and have all the people inside of it report to him.

[-] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 37 points 6 hours ago

He's going to spend it paying top esports players to play games pretending to be him.
Elon is finally going to be the champion in all videogames.

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 15 points 6 hours ago

No, I am the video game boy! I'm the one who wins!

[-] nightwatch_admin@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

Mare, just let Elon pay for you - you have the game, you have the money and you have the fun. Elon gets the “honour”, but nobody will ever believe him anyway.

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago
[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Imagine having all that and still being a worthless gross PoS. Lol I would be the worst philanthropist you ever seen--- meaning I'd be giving money to good stuff like food and climate and eduction while simultaneously making life a living hell for anyone who votes against that stuff. I'm talking hiring people to nonstop hate on those types till they quit social media. Give me your money so I can buy the US Senate; we getting shit won.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 16 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

He won capitalism. He should start a new game on a harder difficulty.

[-] ZeroCool@piefed.ca 9 points 5 hours ago

Dude has to pay people to play video games for him... There's no way he could handle life on medium difficulty.

[-] lyralycan@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Squid game but reversed financial status

[-] Zephyr@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

He is definitely not the first trillionair or the richest man. he is the first publicly recorded trillionair / richest man. Most keep the vast majority they have secret as fuck.

Most of that money is in Tesla stock so not much can be done with it. Maybe take out 10% to 30% of its value as a loan from banks with the stock as collateral then mostly buy some shit that will ideally appreciate in value. It's not liquid wealth so there isn't much you can do with it. $1B liquid would be far more valuable than $1T in stock evaluations.

[-] terranoid@lemmy.cafe 7 points 5 hours ago

Yep. Musk might be rich but he's not as influential as he tries to be. He's actually kind of pathetic in that respect, gets eaten up by the media and looks like a complete tool.

He tried so hard to be in the neo Nazi inner circle but he's just a rich wannabe in every fucking regard.

[-] Zephyr@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 hours ago

Kinda unfortunate honestly. If he just chilled without getting into politics and just worked on electric cars, boring machines, battery factories, rockets, and satellite internet probably would be a much more beloved figure. The whole twitter and political involvement / rigging is definitely a downhill move.

[-] rafoix@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 hours ago

He got into politics because he saw the balance sheets at the companies he’s running.

His businesses desperately needed government backing and he saw an opportunity to buy himself into the most corrupt administration ever.

[-] Zephyr@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Probably accurate although the demand for electric vehicles and hybrids isn't going anywhere and most definitely the demand for batteries isn't going anywhere. Cheap boring and rockets are definitely more niche. Low earth orbit satellite internet has been massive in less developed countries with underdeveloped infrastructure. Maybe if we had something super valuable to mine on the moon or on an asteroid we lassoed into orbit. In short probably could have played the field like most tech companies do and been fine. Check out all the AI companies not going full alt right yet doing alright with massive operating costs to revenue.

[-] Dookieman12@piefed.social 3 points 4 hours ago

Ill tell you what he's NOT going to: anything to improve anyone's life but his own.

[-] hark@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Next up is quadrillionaire, of course!

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 7 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

He's going to use it for political influence to further his fucked-up Nazi ideals.

And, of course, get more money. It's never enough with these fuckers. They have a version of hoarding disorder. It's always on to the next grift, more money, more money, more money, more money, number must go up!

Until he's the only free person in the world and absolutely everyone else is either dead or a slave owned by him, he's not done.

[-] MrSelfDestruct@piefed.zip 4 points 6 hours ago

When you reach your peak, it's time to die.

[-] pedrobear@altgag.net -1 points 3 hours ago

My only doubt about this is: are people calling him a trillionaire USA style? I mean, they normally don't use milliards. They just jump from millions to billions. So it would make him a billionaire to all of us more "civilized" people, wouldn't it?

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 hour ago

This is not a simple US vs rest of the world distinction. Long scale and short scale are both used in multiple countries and multiple languages. My own country uses short scale but with billion replaced by milliard so it goes miljon, miljard, triljon, kvadriljon. Then India has lakh (1,00,000) and crore (1,00,00,000). No, the two zeroes between commas weren't a mistake.

[-] pedrobear@altgag.net 1 points 1 hour ago

I want to make clear that I'm not shitting on USA. But I'm genuinely curious about how are they making the calculations. I understand what you mean, but it doesn't really answer my question. Either way, be it milliards, billions or trillions, we average Joes and Janes are royally and disgustingly fucked...

[-] brave_lemmywinks@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

At these numbers it becomes meaningless, like infinity+1. All we know is that he can get whatever he wants.

[-] plyth@feddit.org 2 points 5 hours ago

At least he is saying that he wants humanity to become a two planet civilisation.
