Have you people not learn your lesson yet?
Stop ๐ revering ๐ billionaires ๐
shareUnless the billionaire is Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos. Right?
shareLiberals hate Bezos. Don't you see them calling out Amazon for not letting their workers unionize?
And Bill Gates is a philanthropist.
i really admire musk a lot.
there's lots of billionaires i've admired a lot, some not so much. i think musk for the most part is really great.
here's a good summary i saw posted on patreon:

The Year Is 2000. Imagine Al Gore telling you about a liberal businessman he just met:
Heโs an immigrant to America.
Heโs the biggest advocate for getting America and the world off fossil fuels.
Heโs donated $100 Million to develop technology to capture carbon from the atmosphere.
Heโs not โneuro typicalโ. But has overcome his โdisabilityโ and has become very successful.
In 2021 he will pay the largest amount of yearly taxes in American history.
Heโs a leader in the solar power industry.
Heโs a leader in the battery technology industry.
He's a leader in the software industry.
Heโs a leader in the Artificial Intelligence industry. But heโs one of the biggest critics of AI safety.
He started a company to make brain-computer Interfaces to help people with head and spine trauma to walk and communicate again. Or even control a robot prosthetics with their mind.
He started a tunneling company to cheaply fix transportation bottlenecks and reduce the social crime of using eminent domain against poor people and their neighborhoods.
He started to design humanoid robots to help in factories, doing dangerous or overly repetitive tasks.
He runs an electric car company that has become the most successful and most valuable car company in the history of the world.
His cars are the safest ever tested at the American insurance institute.
His cars can drive themselves and are statistically safer drivers on highways than just humans.
He started a satellite internet company that offers incredibly high speed internet access to any person, anywhere on earth- including countries that are run by oppressive authoritarians and dictators.
He taught himself rocket science and started a space transportation and rocket company that reinvented access to space and other planets. The US Congress ended the Space shuttle program and asked private industry to takeover delivering our American astronauts to orbit and beyond - he answered the call 1st. His services are 1/10th the cost what NASA was paying previously.
He was concerned that current K-12 schooling werenโt preparing his children for the 21st century. So he started a private school for his employees children to focus on building entrepreneurs, inventors, software developers, and STEM leaders.
He believes free speech is the cornerstone of a healthy democracy.
He was worried about censorship by a social media company so he spent $3B of his own money to become the largest investor.
He doesnโt like unions, but he has some of the most loyal and happy employees of any tech company.
He loves the movie Space Balls.
Occasionally, he publicly SAYS โweird or stupid stuffโ but โฆโฆletโs not forget he has a โmental disabilityโ.
And oh yeah, heโs fucking smarter than 99.99% of us.
Iโd say heโs a liberal dreamboat!
All billionaires are evil and have made their money exploiting workers.
The liberals are NOT anymore the liberals of the 2000.They are the new communists, you'll find a lot of socialists/communists now on the US left.
The "liberals" in USA have NOTHING to do with the idea of liberalism ... and the "democrats" are further and further from the idea of democracy.

Love him so much you delete your username within 2 hours of making this post! Good boy, Muskbot! Good Muskbot! Go eat an electric bone, Muskbot!
sharei didn't delete my account today. there's a weird quirk here that allows me to post from an account that i've deleted, as long as i don't post on the device i was on when i deleted the account. weirdness. it's like a zombie account.
i'm not a musk fanboy or anything. i think he's mostly really admirable though.
it's snippy posts like yours that drove me to delete my account. i don't know why i'm back. i'm weak and lame, i guess.
Well, I don't know what to tell you. I've spent quite a long time away from these boards myself from time to time because they do get pretty ugly.
If I'm driving you away, that's not cool of me.
On the other hand, I think you just ought to make a new account and use it rather than post from the deleted account. If you're sticking around.
Which I hope you do. Don't think it makes you weak to do so either, but that's up to you.
But I've seen way too much nonsense out of Elon Musk to buy that he's doing anything for anyone's good but his own.
This is Metatron, right? So how did you manage to log into the delete account on the other device? Unless you never logged out of it on that device when the account was deleted? This is fascinating because I've always wondered about accounts named [deleted].
sharei'm not metatron.
i hated that prick!
all i can tell you is that, whenever i come to this site from a laptop or mobile that isn't the one i used to delete the account, it shows me as logged in.
i can't see my posting history, i can't go into my profile to see the posts i've created, but i can see my old personal messages and respond to them, and i get notifications when someone responds to my posts, like you did.
weirdness.
That's fascinating because the notification of your reply shows me your username, so now I know who you are. Glad you're still around, even if it's anonymously. Even though we disagreed on a couple of things our exchanges were always cordial and informative, and your contributions to this site are of better quality than most other users. In fact, the guy who thinks he was responsible for you deleting your account made a post expressing his regret and feels your contributions to Moviechat are more important/better than his. I would post a link to that thread here but that would reveal who you are to other users, and I am unable to click [deleted] to send it as a PM. Anyway, hopefully you'll create another account in the future. Cheers.
*edit*
PS, make sure you don't delete the cookies in your browser or uninstall the browser you're using otherwise you'll lose access to this account.
hey thanks, i appreciate all that.
i am trying to take an overall break from the online world right now. i might come back with a new username in a month or two. i have a history of doing that. i do get a bit wound up and emotional over silly little internet fights, so it's probably a good idea for me to step away for a bit every now and then. but it's probably not permanent, and odds are i'll likely be back in the not distant future.
happy moviechatting to you.
"Liberals hate Bezos."
Probably why they all have fucking Alexas at home...
So since both the people who run Google (Android) and Apple are liberal, no conservative owns a smartphone from either of them? Yeah, right.
Logic needs a little work there.
I didn't make any of these claims?
All I did was to point out the hypocrisy of liberals who constantly pretend capitalism is the worst, but then live it to the fullest. They run to fucking Starbucks every day because having some bullshit coffee cup in your hand while you haste through life is en vogue for some stupid reason and they all have Netflix, Prime, order loads on Amazon, let Bezos spy on them with Alexa because it is cool to have an Alexa and throw money at absurdly overpriced tech garbage like iPhones... while still claiming to be "anti-capitalism" and "hating big corp".
What a fucking joke!
I am conservative.
I do not even claim to be anti-capitalism because I am certainly not.
All I own is a cheap smartphone while I happily skip the rest.
My logic is fine.
All that needs work is your reading comprehension.
If you cannot see that there is hypocrisy on both sides you have zero understanding of human beings.
I have zero Alexas, smartphones or Starbucks visits.
Who says I do not see hypocrisy on both sides?
Right now we were talking liberals and how they "hate Bezos" (they don't).
And yes, because I clearly meant every single liberal world wide, yes.
I did not exaggerate to make a point, I meant it 100% literal - you got it.
"Liberals" don't live their so-called standards. They demand everyone else does it instead.
shareLOOLLLLL show me on the left who is revering Jeff Bezos. seriously yet again tis the right simping for Bezos.
shareIf they (some on the Right, some Conservatives, some on Fox-News) think it "Owns" the Libs, then it must be a good thing.
๐คฃ
I just don't get this alternative reality they live in.where everything and anything can be X and next week not X if it means owning the libs
like last week someone said the dems want to be just like china, then the same guy brought up something china was doing and said "see china would never allow that if the dems were trying to implement that policy nd destroy their country like they are doing in the USA.
LOL well which is it?
