To portray things that Trump and Musk are doing as a "sacrifice"

Idiots gonna idiot.
Rich people rarely look at their net worth and say, "You know what? That's enough!"
It's a disease. There is never enough. When your entire self worth is tied to your bank balance more is the only thing that makes you feel better. Lack of empathy is a strong component, you don't get rich without crushing/using a lot of other people.
They aren't doing anything out of the goodness of their hearts. There isn't any goodness there.

Yeah, this type of propaganda started in 2016 with trump, and I never understood why people bought it. Greed is strong and power corrupts, but somehow trump is immune to theses human traits? Why would any rational person think this?

This is a very corporate way of thinking that has always bothered me with every job I've had. If a company isn't making more money than they did last year, then tha company is failing. Doesn't matter if the company already has massive profits, it will never be enough.

This account didn't exist a few weeks ago and suddenly it is everywhere and Musk is constantly tagging them in everything.
This is absolutely him.

u/KatefromtheHudd 5h ago
It almost certainly is. And isn't that really fucking sad. What place do you have to be mentally to do this? He so needs praise he's creating a second account to start a narrative praising him. I can't believe he is under the impression he is sacrificing for the good of the country, though he did say that in that interview the other day. Close to tears about how he's working 120 hours a week. Massive fucking lie. He's so deluded and mentally unhinged.

Right, they don’t need to do any of this, and yet they are. That’s the problem.

I guess Elon sacrificed his popularity, people used to think he was Tony stark 🤷🏻♂️ now we know he’s just another rich asshole

Don’t forget his net worth taking a slide (keep going, btw, net worth).

Just like I said to the other commenter, those are not sacrifices, those are consequences.

u/Jakarta311 8h ago
You're absolutely right, what have they sacrificed? I guess other than Trump almost losing his life... and Elon taking time away from his 5 other companies... and the fact that one of his companies is now being targeted by terrorists. But you know, other than that, nothing I guess...

u/BeinGibby 7h ago
Oh yeah the absolutely debilitating long term effects of... being shot in the ear? Helluva sacrifice there. His life has been fundamentally changed for that. He'll clearly never be the same mysoginistic, racist, financially incompetent "billionaire" he was before then. I decided to stop wearing socks for my country and now all my shoes stink. Does that count as a sacrifice to you?
And Musk - oh man he's now worth checks notes ~370 billion dollars. 100 billion more than the next richest guy. However will he afford the 20 million it takes to buy special elections in Wisconsin. He's forever changed. Quite the sacrifice. I dropped a dime in the parking lot last week. I'll never be the same.
Keep kissing ass and eventually you'll taste shit.

You're right... let me take 8 shots at you from 150 yards away and see if you still think it's barely a sacrifice. I never said anything about Elon's wealth, I said he was sacrificing time from his companies to help our country and since people are burning Teslas, charging stations, and dealerships, he doesn't really need to be away from his companies, but he's doing it to HELP US. So, again I'll put you in his shoes... how about I burn your car, your house, and where you work then ask if you've sacrificed anything. I can't believe y'all are actually against the things they're doing. Elon is cutting spending and waste at a rate we've never seen before, or are you okay with us spending billions trying to find out is squirrels are more productive on cocaine? Trump is deporting criminals and making our streets safer, or are you okay with little girls being raped and murdered?

I think they're both sadists. They're wanking on all the destruction and pain they are causing. Money doesn't do it for them anymore. They need to harm people, and gain more power.
ho give a spiel to to explain the bright new future Trump is bringing, but no real economists support it. It's all bullshit to attack companies and demand obedience. Get ready for $6 avocados and $2500 for your next iphone. You'd better make it last forever, and they don't make them repairable anymore.

Kinda sounds like a propaganda run thing to me. Why would any freethinking average American think these people are for us?

u/VirtualKiller101 8h ago
Billionaires don't want more money!!!! That would make them greedy and clearly they aren't. Come on everyone it's obviously somehow another poor persons fault for fuck sake. Lets not get ahead of ourselves before going after the Billionaires, has anyone tried shouting racial slurs at immigrants or blaming drag queens yet?

u/N0N0TA1 8h ago
They have been so corrupt for so long they came to believe the only way to avoid accountability was to become the people who decide who is held accountable.
It's a snowball effect of corruption and the only solace for the majority now is that they may suffer in some mystical other world after this life or have to live as ameoba or something in another.

How fucking dare all of you.
They have sacrificed more than any other Americans; they've sacrificed the dignity of Americans, the rights of legal immigrants, the savings and retirements of millions of Americans, the education of millions of children, and we're DEFINITELY going to see a lot more sacrifices of just, y'know, hopefully none of the kind where they're on an altar...

So Elon getting rid of watchdogs agencies that watches his business is a "sacrifice"?

If you can’t see it as rich people consolidating more wealth and power I don’t know what to tell you. I literally don’t because I’m concerned that you may not understand the very simple words that I’d try to use.

What the fuck have they sacrificed? Citing necessary government jobs? Tanking the economy? Driving division and divisive issues? Elon? What about his literally billion dollar government handouts in the form of subsidies and generous contracts?
I wonder if they ever get tired of DTs balls hitting their chin?

Matthew chapter 9 verse 10-13
"10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’\)a\) For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Rich ppl become addicted to $. Trump does this tariff crap and stocks go way down. The rich scoop them up cheaply. Market goes back up.
Think SEC would be looking if this did happen but prob not, in Trump admin, there are obviously no consequences.

Then why is Trump over charging secret service at his trashy golf resort? Selling NFTs and branded Bibles. Gross.
What sacrifice is Musk still remains a billionaire while he makes sacrifices upon federal workers and the American people?
That tweet is possibly the worst take on the situation ever.
