Elon Musk’s new Tesla pay package is around $100 billion a year.
That’s as much as all 3.2 MILLION cashiers in America make.
It’s $3 billion MORE than all the elementary teachers make.
It’s $46 billion MORE than all the construction workers make.
Tax the damn rich.
To anyone who didn’t follow the story, the World Food Programme developed a proposal to solve world hunger for half that cost. Surprising no one, Musk pretended this tweet never happened.
Then Musk himself cut funding to USAID and purposefully caused millions of dollars worth of already purchased food to spoil rather than feed a single person.
In evaluating if someone is a shitty person, we should officially include in the calculations the scale on which they can be shitty. In other words, the fact that Musk is so rich actually does make him objectively one of the worst people alive right now.
Agree. Plus he’s an actual white supremacist Nazi, and a relentless online troll who owns and sets up forums to increase the spread his hateful far-right views. Let’s not forget about those variables in the calculation.
I’m just saying that with this revolutionary new method, we can still confirm that Elon Musk is indeed worse than a random hick who might be more openly bigoted.
Good point. In that regard, I suggest adding a bigoted random hick quotient to the calculation.
(obviously this is a work-in-progress, and also obviously I have no math skills)
Yeah, but in doing so he has also made things more expensive and difficult for Americans. So the 2 negatives make a positive, right?
