      Looking like a complete dork, especially a goth(?) dork, should make someone more relatable to me. These just make me angry. Even the photo with Maxwell could be just celebrity/wealthy people having smaller visible social circle and nothing sinister behind the scenes.

      But they don’t. Because musk had to be the person he is.

      Honestly should be banned from Lemmy for not actively encouraging people to spread the pics and fuck Musk.This is high treason.

      Exactly. Reminds me of those shitty Facebook posts I saw over a decade ago before I quit that site.

      “Repost this message otherwise Facebook own all your photos but posting this to your profile means they can’t do that” kinda shit.

      Main reason I left Facebook was because I couldn’t scroll past a stupid image with text saying something outlandish without trying to warn people that this is nonsense. I can only imagine how bad it is now.

    So if we ran the odds, what is the likelihood some non-shitbag becomes rich and powerful?

    Like, is there just to many shitbags in the world there is no scenario where a person who can hold true to their principles/values can win out?

      Elon rich and powerful? No. You don’t get to be a billionaire without stealing from people on a large scale somewhere in the chain, that simply isn’t mathematically possible given the human lifespan and an assumed compensation proportional to productivity in some rational way. So anyone that rich must already be an unscrupulous individual with at least questionable ethics and beliefs.
