Elon Musk is one of my least favorite people on the planet, him getting triggered at something just instantly makes me want to support that thing. He's such a raging fucking cunt, literally the worst billionaire in history and I wish he just let Zuck beat his ass so he could learn a lesson and shut the fuck up for a little while. Fat fucking pig fucker. Going to donate to Wikipedia right now.

Why does his mother keep doing the cultist pose where she covers one eye? Why does he want a Chinese style everything app, effectively merging social media and finances?

Consider that at least a portion of these employees are likely of professions with very high wages, for example dedicated lawyers because they receive a shitload of lawsuits from f.ex people or companies that don't like what is written about them.
