Why don't Elon and Donald pay their bills?

[–] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 91 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because "you don't get rich by paying your bills" according to them.

They were both born wealthy so it would be pretty stupid to listen to them explaining how to get rich, unless you were also born wealthy.

All you have to do is make coffee at home, don't eat avocado toast and work 25 hours a day. That way you can become a billionaire too.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Avocado toast has such power! It's strange that if I eat an avocado and toasted bread separately, there's no impact on my financial outlook, but the second I combine them, blammo!

If you’d be born wealthy, it would be pretty stupid to listen to them explaining how to get rich, unless you want to piss away your and your daddy‘s money. Elon hasn’t made it quite the way (but he is getting there), but Trump Sr. must be very disappointed.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

From what I've read, trump's dad was every bit the sociopathic, evil, criminal, that trump is, he just wasn't a doofus like trump. So he probably pretty proud, except for the doofus, low-class part.

Oh, I didn’t mean „morally disappointed“, but disappointed in his inability to brutally grow the business instead of wasting his time with petty crimes.
