Many an oligarch has been subjected to a 12-inch haircut for less.

Thank you again for removing all doubt that you are a complete bag o shit.

Pay Your Taxes! Lorde Ego.

That follow-up tweet. How is this reality? Idiocracy was too optimistic.

Idiocracy was too optimistic.

Especially the timeframe. Most of that movie takes place 500 years in the future. At this rate it won’t take nearly that long before our society reaches that level.

I wonder what Lord Humungus’s twitter handle is…

Where I work, we’re waiting on (the delayed) Crew-2 to come back and (the also delayed) Crew-3 to launch so that we can get on with the other things we have to do (not to mention the rest of our lives). I know he has little-to-nothing to do with the actual operations at SpaceX - and thats evidently just as well - but, nonetheless, Elon playing grabass on Twitter while some astronauts aren’t able to go anywhere is not a good look.

Meanwhile, how’s that timeline for Starship looking?

Why does BB always criticise Musk? He’s a brilliant and visionary businessman and even though he’s not perfect he’s a god king. /paynoattentiontotheamountofmoneyihaveinvestedinTesla

Hey Elon…

Hey Musk. Some tax planning advice.

If you spent all your money to move to Mars right now - you would be outside of the jurisdiction by the time the tax bill comes due. And you have no reason for Earthian money on Mars. You’ll have MarsCoin.

I keep expecting to hear that his Twitter account got hacked, because this is deranged even for Musk, which is saying something. If it hasn’t been hacked, anyone doing business with any of Musk’s companies should really start making some plans…

He’s reading my comments here, isn’t he?

@anon73430903

Technically, Musk, Bezos and most of the rest of the billionaires are also upper-middle class. They aren’t called Count Musk or Duke Bezos yet, are they?

But not all of them

@anon73430903

If you are going to declare yourself to be nobility, you might as well declare yourself Emperor, King, Kaiser or Tsar.

Tsar seems to be the most fitting in my opinion

I think he did this because his Azeala Banks provided nickname - “Apartheid Clyde” - got snapped up already…
