    You could do a lot of good with that money. Like, build a ton of housing. Replace some lead pipes or other hazardous infrastructure. Pay some medical debt.

    Instead he does this.

    I won’t be mad if Musk meets a sudden end. I just hope it’s a really embarrassing one.

      In a perfect world libertarians wouldn’t exist, empathy would be far higher in all humans, and we wouldn’t have any of these problems like homelessness or starvation. But we don’t live in a perfect world. We live in hell.

        without libertarians, who’s gonna advocate for lowering the age of consent? who will maintain spreadsheets of states and their ages of consent with details about their Romeo & Juliet laws? who will think of the children, so to speak?

          You mean you don’t carry Romeo and Juliet laws around on a card? That’s a perfectly normal thing to do!

            libertarians in the US are conservative, but that was mostly a joke about them constantly thinking and talking about underage sex.

      I hope he would die from autoerotic asphyxiation and someone snaps a photo of him hanging there and posts it on the net for everyone to make fun of.

      You could do a lot of good with that money.

      He’s going to spend $45M/mo on Twitter ads for Donald Trump. What could be a better investment than that?
