Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

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.

And that’s basically it!

And what's sad is that he's wealthier than everyone that uses lemmy, combined.

Why the fuck does good shit always happen to bad people, and good people always get shit on?

At least you're not a black Nazi, bud. Money doesn't equal happiness. I bet he's miserable.

Money does, however, buy security. Money would solve all of my worst problems and make the other ones easier to handle. We don’t need a lot, but sure as hell need more than we have now and people like him don’t deserve a damn fucking cent(besides any universal social programs because that’s what universal means and I ain’t gunna be that guy).

Money doesn’t buy happiness, but a lack of money is sure to bring unhappiness.

It can’t buy happiness but it can pay off my unhappiness debt.

Probably not a popular opinion around here, but this is actually one of the rare cases where he is (was) extremely talented at his main thing (producing). That doesn't mean he deserves that disproportionate amount of wealth, but he's contributed more to culture than elon ever could.

This is basically undeniable, but what really makes me sad is the artists who don't seem to be Nazis or even right wing but still support this dude and stand up for him because he's been so influential on many of them.

You don't get wealthy if you're good, because it takes a certain amount of greed and materialism
