Every rich fuck is just some flavor of stupid con artist. There's the lady with the fake blood tests, the moronic guy that's dosing himself with whatever he thinks might somehow make hime younger, there's like several dudes whose whole thing is they managed to do enclosure on some part of the early internet because their parents were rich, etc. The amazing thing is how much energy our society puts into *insisting* any of these people are smart or useful.

@PallasRiot people talk about elon musk like he's some sort of self built super genius, but he's not. he doesn't know anything about cars or technology or anything else. he had a rich daddy who got his wealth through apartheid slave labor in his emerald mine.

I wonder why can't children of Russian oligarchs do anything comparable to that? They have their own not-quite-emerald mines, a fleet of rusty Soviet boats and plenty of non-apartheid slave labour, yet they can't produce even a petroleum-powered car that won't fall apart entirely in 60'000 miles… 🤔

@m0xee @mjdxp Neither can Musk; all he does is buy companies that already ha e functional products and then inevitably makes the companies less effective over time. He isn't an engineer or computer scientist, the most anyone could say is that he's a creative financier.

The Cyber Truck is certainly a great example of what happens when wealthy capitalists are allowed to meddle in anything real
