I assume I’m just not enough of a dark enlightenment intellectual to understand how western civilization is simultaneously the best thing ever and so brittle as to be dying under the blows of someone divorcing Jeff Bezos?
… er, but is there is some reason we would not expect to see those things together
OHhh… I thought he was talking about his own ex-wife - being the most divorced person ever.
SPOILER
sorry, it’s fake
Funny that the second richest guy on the planet can’t afford to pay an economist to explain to him that it’ll be wealth inequality that tanks the civilization.
Now, let’s not jump to conclusions! He could have been aiming his moronic statement at Melinda Gates as well.
To be fair, an economist who’d actually do that would be hard to find in the first place.
It looks like he’s having to choose between his various alimony payments and paying interest on his loan for Xitter.
Seems like a him problem to me.
Musk makes Charles Foster Kane look mature and dignified by comparison.
“Super rich ex-husbands who hate their former spouse” should be listed among “Reasons that Western Civilization died” is a more appropriate response. Many (most?) of those husbands are self-aggrandizing and spend their wealth on themselves instead of trying to make life better for their fellow citizens.
Those ex-husbands also don’t seem to give a shit if their children have a viable planet to live on.
Obscenely rich and narcissistic white men who do not pay their fair share of taxes have done far more than any other group to destroy what’s left of western civilization.
I love that last gif
It’s a good 'un! So glad I found it
