I posted this earlier today in the tech lemmy instance, but, they have no sense of humor and deleted it. I'm trying here.
Musk has burnt through $44 Billion. I'm sure even the government could have spent it better than he has

You overestimate governments. But a blind dog could've spent it much better.
... he said in a post on a worldwide network whose creation the US government originally funded.
Not for the purpose of giving it to the people.
They only said the government were capable of doing it, not that they would be motivated by pure benevolence
To be fair, of the 44B, they'd use 30b to blow up children's hospitals, give 13b to some rich fucks, 800m would disappear and the rest would fund something nice

They would have spent it on bombs and missiles, not on useful stuff.
Hey they would have bought a kid or two a book. Maybe.

The techie guys are also the ones with verified Twitter accounts and Elon Musk balls on their mouths in my experience so i can't say i'm surprised if they deleted your post :/
A lot of us sadly are, but there are also ones like me with a strong affinity for open source and such. And we collectively join in the Elon hate.
Looks fake. Probably why. Lighting is all fucked. Ground not consistent with massive sign lit up. 🚩
we can't effort the rich anymore.
But, doesn't light always go only up?
Yeah, otherwise it would be called "heavy".
Yeah, it’s hot. Heat rises. Therefore, vis a vis, indubitably, light goes up.

I can tell by the pixels
Honestly, just taxing the rich is one of the most milquetoast and obvious takes ever. Should not even be radical imo since it just makes sense
And yet here we are.

I agree with the idea, but where is the humor in this?
That's X sign on Twitter building in the end of tax
Ah that explains everything. Thank you.

It would definitely fit that instance too, it's also some quality shitpost and could fit in political communities as well so kind of a universal one if you ask me!
Why did they delete it? Is it even a real picture?
You’re looking at it. It’s as real as this text you’re reading!
All I see is blonde, brunette, red head...
Truly, an unexpected Matrix reference.
I guess some users of tech lemmy might have felt concerned by this.
