Elon Musk – The number 1 super billionaire

[etienne_marais]

Why would I waste time on a video when it's apparent just from your description that it is a load of crap?

Because you investigate and question things, right ?

I think he gets the flak as a scapegoat because he's the richest and has a strong social media presence.

Sure, then again he gives as good as he gets, but it costs him

My perception is the general hatred/mood towards Elon in the US is more rooted at the wealth imbalance there and the rich in the US using tax/off-shore loopholes, government subsidies for companies, living off stock backed credit lines not capital gains and being taxed from it, general anger at the massive corporate bailouts/stimulus during covid over small business/populace

I don't believe that Musk would be doing this, he even stated so himself.
But yes, the Karl Marxs' of the world love to generalise and what better scapegoat than the world's most wealthy man.

and the misperceived "Apartheid money" from the Zambian mine his father had some shares in that people falsely (I believe) Elon personally profited and boosted off from as an adult.

Yeah, even if it were true, what exactly do they expect him to do about it? If you discover that your great grandfather was Idi Amin, what does the world want you to do, cut off your own body parts as penance?

I limit my questioning to rational and sane things, QAnon type stuff? I know where to file that immediately I see it.

Only it is nothing of the type, you are prejudiced and caught in a reactionary mentality

I'd agree, paying $11 billion tax isn't pocket change.

Elon Musk says he'll be paying $11bn in tax this year

The Tesla founder and world's richest person has been involved in a public spat over his tax bill.

Except it isn't, I already posted a link to disprove your statement, without monetising some crazy idiot on YouTube by playing his video.

It isn't what ? It is very far from qanon level stuff which you want to read into everything.
