$45 million a month. Jesus fucking Christ, imagine the good that kind of money could do. Instead it's going straight to Fascists'R'Us.

Remember when Elon said he'd gladly solve world hunger if someone gave him a plan to do so?

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago

and then someone did, and he didn't

[-] tabularasa@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Did this actually happen? Do you have a source? Genuinely curious.

there's plenty of news sources covering the streams of promises he's made, and none that report on the delivery (because he didn't do it and never will)

Thank you for posting this. This pretty much says it all. What a shit head. "It’s not clear if Musk or Bezos have seen the plan and will ultimately decide to lend their support. Spokespeople for Musk’s companies did not respond to requests for comment."

Even if I was using that money entirely selfishly I could come up with so many better things to do.

[-] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 34 points 2 months ago

Frankly, setting it on fire would be a better use.

It breaks my heart to think about that.

This is just an example of what America does every second of every day. Valuing money more than people.

Example of what capitalism does every second. The problem is bigger and older than America.

america is like the fruiting body of the capitalist fungus, what you see is a tiny indicator of an infection that has roots that continue on for miles.

Why do you think Vance is the VP pick? He is Peter Thiel’s bitch, who is Elon’s bitch. They are not even trying to hide it anymore.
