Tagging @batshit-auspol because as an Australian you're the only big account I know who might share (sorry).

Just because someone is rich doesn't make everything their fault. I know this is a very hard concept for you people to understand, but for your own sake, try exercising your brain.

Hate the guy all you like, maybe just try to have a logical reason for it if you can.

If Elon makes a few more bucks, is someone else going to check their bank balance or wallet and find they have less dinero?

If elon (or you or me) makes a few bucks, yes it came directly out of someone’s wallet or bank account. When you go to the store you can observe this reality. The store cannot make money without you giving it to them. The workers cannot make money without the store giving it to them.

He then receives a cut of the profits proportional to how many stocks he bought, which goes up when the company is more successful. He then takes that money and invests it into more stock, or additional property, or a hedge fund, or some other aspect of his portfolio.

This is also where the saying "the left can't meme" comes from: all latter-day left wing thought is built upon elaborate, convoluted, contradictory and self-evidently false ideological beliefs, which can only be maintained through continual abstract and arcane word games, furiously insisting that the world is not as it is, so there is no objective, commonsense reality being appealed to as the punchline. A single image, stripped of the convoluted dogma, actually ends up communicating the opposite of their intent, so they usually have to write walls of text in explanation, which defeats the whole point and structure of a meme or a joke.

Case in point
