World's richest, dumbest man pledges to burn more imaginary money supporting foregone conclusion

But WHAT IF, this hurts trump so badly that he loses

For only $20 billion, less than the cost of twitter he could have ended homelessness and died a hero. But let's fucking go burn the rest of any goodwill anyone has towards you on Drumpf.

This and the Romney one at the restaurant where he's lit from underneath by candlelight and grinning like a Batman villain are probably the most powerful "look at me making this loser take a picture with me" images of all time

It lives in my head rent-free

I'm glad we live in a society where oligarchs can't influence politics unlike in [insert bad country]. Instead we've got wholesome chungus billionaires that spend money to save Americaamerikkka

will trump still hate him if he's a major donor?

trump-anguish

He came begging to me in the oval office like a dog. The only good idea he ever had besides giving me more money I don't need! Bye bye Elon, nobody wants your bad driving cars!

your bad driving cars

Bad driving woke electric cars! a-little-trolling

tromp

The worst batteries folks! I said I'd take electrocution over the shark, but if it's one of Looney Elon's, I'm taking the shark! They do battery fire, you know what this is? Hot hot fire, and not even big water that the handsome firefighters spray at it will put it out! They want to do electric, but I'll take clean coal and gas and ride with the shark instead of him.

Well he invested in crypto, Tesla, and Twitter. I think we should give him a shot.

really taking the "the price of free speech is $10/month" thing a little too far

I hope he dies of sepsis

I can't imagine having that much money to spend... and being so careless with it.

[–] Tiocfaidhcaisarla@hexbear.net 13 points 3 months ago

I love his "what can go wrong?" face here because brother I really think it can go wrong and them chickens are headed home

[–] axont@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago

what would spending any more money do? Trump and Biden could suspend their campaigns right now and the results at election day wouldn't be any different. Everyone already knows who they're voting for. The only thing that would change at this point is if one of them dies or Biden promises something like a free Ferrari to every 12th american.

[–] FortifiedAttack@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago

Weak, that's chump change for someone like him.
