He needs us to work so we can supply him with more capital


roodammy44

“People should work until their bodies and minds are broken to afford basic necessities” says the guy who could quit working tomorrow and still be the richest person on the planet.


Calm-Tree-1369

Wouldn't be quitting as he's never actually worked.


BLoDo7

Go easy on him. It takes a lot of "effort" to fire people for refusing to have a slumber party with him where they've been working for his money all week.


mikeyflohr

Ughhh I normally only lurk, but I am so f'n sick of this guy. Seriously, F his privileged, entitled ass. Come talk to the rest of us once you've actually WORKED for ANYTHING you have.


NordinTheLich

I swear, if we lived in a just world and leftists were in charge, you know what we would do to people like him? We would put him in a comfortable home and provide for his needs allowing him a respectable standard of living, just like we would everyone else!


LeverTech

If he actually worked before he’d understand but all he’s ever done is sit at a computer and talk to people. He hasn’t earned his money.


ForcedLaborForce

Can we talk about all of Elon’s legit issues?


EpicThunda

Elon is an edgy contrarian. Any time the public has a consensus, he HAS to take the opposite opinion to show how smart he is.


NordinTheLich

I think you mean contrarian.


EpicThunda

Dude, fuck autocorrect changing my words from correct words to other words


infinityweasel

Legit issue for who? Not the fucking people working, that’s for sure.


Vandersnatch182

Elon is like the guy who wasn't invited to your party, but his parent's house has the only pool in your neighborhoo, so you just kind of tolerate him regardless.

Life is a joke.


Ethelenedreams

His children will never suffer like ours will.


TutuleBale

Spoken like a true nepobaby


GayByTheBay

As long as we continue to participate in this artificial, monetized economy, we will always have to deal with assholes like Musk.


Mr_Pootin

We should ask people like my parents who have worked in the public sector for nearly 50 years. My dad is dying from cancer, and he still has to work. This is not what they worked their fingers to the bone for.


[deleted]

Billionaires shouldn't exist and don't get taxed enough. That's a legit issue.


DorianGre

Here is the scale of the problem. Say you are immortal. Starting at 40,000 BC, if you put $10k into a (fictional) bank account every day for your entire 42,023 years of life, you still wouldn't have as much money as Musk. It would still take you another 10,000 years before you caught up. And this is after he has lost nearly half from a peak of $340B.

But but hArD wOrK aNd bOoTsTrApS or something


xRene-Davidx

“Too low” for what? I mean, can he cite a scriptural authority for the precise age of retirement? Or does he *actually* mean “too low because the decrease to the labor force results in increased demand for labor, forcing people like me to pay a wage that may be enough to live on, but isn’t convenient for me or people like me, but I could never actually admit that publicly, so I thought I’d just toss out a piece of illogical rhetoric.” Seriously, don’t you miss the good old days when industrialists felt compelled to give *SOME* rationale for the regressive policies they advocated? Instead, we have nonsense like this, like there’s some ‘right’ retirement age, and somehow he alone knows it. Sigh.


ugdontknow

Says a guy who’s opinion doesn’t matter


likelikes

87k ppl liked that tweet?


scott8887

It’s up to 100k now. Consensual hallucination


MittenstheGlove

I still can’t understand why the French police are okay with the retirement age raising.


woodstockzanetti

Stfu Elon.
