The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I recall that even being rich his "friends" complain he wants to sleep on their couch and eat their food.

I've heard that he said the film "Parasite" is his favorite movie. Which I couldn't wrap my head around when I heard that years ago, but as we've seen there's no level of cognitive dissonance too low for Elon.

Just like the tiny home show people... There's always a friend or family member with a plot of land for them.

There's a reason rich people usually stay rich: they hate to spend their own money. On anything.
