“Obscenely rich proud for poor people to celebrate him for doing less than the bare minimum”
Other obscenely rich people doing less, doesn’t make this shit uplifting nor worth praise, it still is literally less than the bare minimum. Fuck this noise.
maybe if you were cool like Mark, you’d be rich and you wouldn’t be so cranky… seriously, i think it would be good for you to study Mark and sort of pattern yourself after him a little… he’s pretty successful and has lots of friends…
Except as I said, this is less than bare minimum, it doesn’t even come near “good” let alone “perfect”, it’s literally a PR stunt designed to make you think it’s good, and all you’re doing here is proving how well it works as the system keeps chugging along and this billionaire, like all the others, continues getting richer at our expense.
So to paraphrase - it’s bootlicking that is the enemy of progress, and you’re getting a nice mouthful there.
Man, here’s the thing. He paid his taxes right? Did Elon paid around the same amount his net worth? Did any other billionaire did?
Now, remember those people seeking clout using charity? What if more people seeking clout using charity? What if more billionaire seeking clout by paying taxes too? Sure, not “good” or “perfect”, but better. As in, 1 is better than 0 because something is better than nothing. But I’d argue that something better is a good thing in general.
Would you like me to give you some money to help your debt, but not in full or none at all? Same thing here, only the debt is to society in the form of taxes. Something is better than nothing and hence a good thing.

Hey, don’t let good be the enemy of better. A billionaire advertising taxes like a good thing is better than anything I’ve ever seen Elon musk do.

It was one sentence. How did you manage to misunderstand it?
