    See, call me crazy, but like, I thought there were laws and caps to how much a person could donate to a candidate?

    And yes I know its some silly loophole, PAC, citizens united corporate bullshit whatever… but like, it “feels” like we all understand the spirit of the law right? And so we all can plainly see that this doesnt respect it? So maybe we dont need to get hung up on technicalities when the violation is blatantly obvious, yea?

    Richest man in the world: zero friends, zero cool, zero enjoyment

    If billionaires must exist, I’m happy at least this one’s a miserable fucking loser

    If we take the headline that Elon Musk is a trillionaire to be true…

    Lets say you are a working professional something and make 100k a year. You are doing well. Not great, but you are getting by.

    A 150 million dollar donation from Elon Musk, if we take their trillionaire or even near trillionare status to be true…

    That’s equivalent to you donating about 15 bucks. Thats what 150 million represents to Elon Musk.
