> world's richest people almost entirely from his own work
This is a flat out lie, and we hear it a lot from Elon fan clubs as a soundbite as PR stunts for him. His fortunes have been built by abusing his workers and the conditions around them. And we haven't even gotten to the mines yet.
If you want to follow this clown knock yourself out, but appearances matter and when Elon wants to start acting more mature, others might give him notice.
- simondotau 5y agoIf you're going to quote me, please quote the entire sentence rather than a fragment that misleadingly chops a list of three items ("work, ventures and investments") into a single item ("work"). That fragment does not represent what I said and is not something I believe. When read in its entirety, what I said isn't a "flat out lie"—or at the very least it isn't disputed by any assertions you have made. Whether you think his ventures and investments are ethical is a separate question to whether they are the source of his wealth.
- urda 5y agoThere was nothing misleading about that quote, and you're literally one of the last people I'll listen to on here for telling me how to send points across. You are arguing in bad faith if you truly believed that, and your reply confirms it. You might be able to control language and the dialog elsewhere, that's not happening here. If you want to follow this clown knock yourself out, but you can drop the glorification of Elon here.
