Like ... what did that horse do to Elon ?
Ever hear of Mr. Hands?
All the best men have to pay for sex
He’s just looking for a stable relationship.
This isn't even a horse joke- he wants brood mares. That's why he has 11 children. He's 100% in on the whole "Great Replacement" lie.
I think he has some kind of "positive eugenics" bullshit and it aligns with his narcissism where he thinks he and his genes are special. If he believed in "great replacement" and acted on it earnestly he'd give his workers time to leave work and have kids.
Its clear like he saw "humans on mars" as catnip for futurists who will give him money he sees "great replacement" as catnip for racists who will protect his money pile from taxes.
he thinks he and his genes are special.
Oh no question. He thinks that the reason he's fallen upwards from Daddy's emerald mine to Theil's crush to king of the hill is because he is superior and not because he's super lucky.
Pocket change.
as of June 2024, Forbes estimates his net worth to be US$210 billion.
Link.
Highest median house price by state in the US is $787,000. That's the highest in the nicest place. Link.
A total of.....
Brace yourself......
Approximately one 250,000th of his wealth. (actual is higher)
Edit: I apologise in advance for any maths fuck ups. It's Friday evening where I am. You're hearin' me.
Edit 2: Read on for some shenanigans
I love it. Don't ever stop this.
❤️
But the post says "horse" not "house". You know, like the neigh-type of thing.
Are you talking about neigh-bors? Because houses have those!
🐴🤦♂️
I will leave my post as an acknowledgment of my wine based mistakes.
On the other hand though... It just makes things worse by, like, several orders of magnitude.
Edit; What's worse is that I read the whole horse article before, set in my mind what a cunt he was for offering something he had an excess of (other than money, obviously), then promptly got outraged that he only offered a house.
Kids, alcohol is a powerful drug.
I feel like a horse is more of a gift you give to people you hate. Now they're stuck with a horse and they need to find a place to stable it and pay through the nose in maintenance.
You could spend 3/4 million on a horse, depending
Well, it's implied that a house is part of the deal, since where else is the horse going to live? A flight attendant won't have a horse house just sitting around.
Nah she can just bring it with her to work, and tuck it away in the back.
We've already established that. Now we're just haggling about the price.
This was news like 2 years ago
i think it is older than that now isn't it? I happened in 2016, i thought it came to the news in like 2019 or 2020... then again, life is like a blur to me, so...
A ride for a ride.
I'm going to be so happy to see his death caused by a likely drug overdose. Not because I take joy in his death, but we'll finally be rid of having to hear about his stupidity and drama every day.
Not because I take joy in his death
Uh, yeah me neither...
