He’s an accelerationist. He knows the death of America is coming and wants to be sitting pretty, real close to the top when it happens; so he can use his money to become king.

Which is several layers of stupid, seriously most of the time when empires collapse the ones in power are either remains of the old bureaucracy or warlords. The rich are usually a non factor unless they already fit into one of the previous two situations. None of the billionaires have enough hard power to pull that off in the long term.

I'm hungry and Elon looks nice and plump.

Fucking gross.

I agree. We shouldn't eat the rich. We should beat the rich. Repeatedly and for great lengths of time. Possibly with spiky objects. I'm sure we can beat the rich out of them if we keep at it long enough. It might take years and years, but if we just keep beating the rich...

He can't pretend to save the world if the world isn't ending.

Dude literally thinks he's Ozymandias from Watchmen. His entire existence is so fucking cringe.
