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

[-] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf 50 points 11 months ago

You overestimate governments. But a blind dog could've spent it much better.

[-] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 116 points 11 months ago

... he said in a post on a worldwide network whose creation the US government originally funded.

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.de 17 points 11 months ago

Not for the purpose of giving it to the people.

[-] irmoz@reddthat.com 27 points 11 months ago

They only said the government were capable of doing it, not that they would be motivated by pure benevolence

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

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 :/

[-] ehrenschwan@feddit.de 31 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] malloc@lemmy.world 54 points 11 months ago

Looks fake. Probably why. Lighting is all fucked. Ground not consistent with massive sign lit up. 🚩

[-] EherVielleicht@feddit.de 18 points 11 months ago

we can't effort the rich anymore.

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

But, doesn't light always go only up?

[-] Holodeck_Moriarty@lemm.ee 26 points 11 months ago

Yeah, otherwise it would be called "heavy".

[-] Polydextrous@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Yeah, it’s hot. Heat rises. Therefore, vis a vis, indubitably, light goes up.

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

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.sdf.org 26 points 11 months ago

And yet here we are.

I agree with the idea, but where is the humor in this?

[-] Thitherwards@lemmy.world 63 points 11 months ago

That's X sign on Twitter building in the end of tax

[-] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 20 points 11 months ago

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!

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 14 points 11 months ago

Why did they delete it? Is it even a real picture?

[-] Polydextrous@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

You’re looking at it. It’s as real as this text you’re reading!

[-] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 32 points 11 months ago

All I see is blonde, brunette, red head...

[-] saxysammyp@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Truly, an unexpected Matrix reference.

[-] MrMobius@sh.itjust.works 11 points 11 months ago

I guess some users of tech lemmy might have felt concerned by this.
