    With what money, Elon? You can’t afford to pay Google or office rent but you’re going to pay Mr. Beast?

      He’s perfectly capable of paying both. He doesn’t want to, and because he’s rich, he doesn’t have to. There is a reason billionaires end up with so much money, and fairly compensating other parties isn’t it.

        They don’t have to rip other people off, they just choose to. I had a girlfriend whose family was quite wealthy… she loved shopping at the dollar store, and her mother acted overwhelmed with glee when she found a dozen past-date eggs for .65 at the grocery store. Is that how they became wealthy? Fuck no, they inherited a hotel.
