I am learning to knit so that I can sit in the front row in the traditional way, a Les Tricoteuse’s!

2026: Elon Musk becomes our first trillonaire.

2031: After a lengthy trial detailing his felonies including treason, Elon Musk becomes the newest guillonaire since the French Revolution.

Really hope, you fixed it again by now ... about 4 hrs. after the incident.

lol lol wishful thinking :-)

Don't you know billionaires are above the law... & trillionaires are the law :-)

They are until they're not. Like kings.

You are so right.

Violence begets violence, so in my work with children (although I’ve never known one as immature as Musk), I prefer “natural consequences” to punishment. I’d like to see Musk’s arrogance put him on a SpaceX rocket to Mars. We know how it would go.

Veteran Rip Mcquade's avatar

Starving children and people is not punishment?, I fucking disagree!!!!.

i bet his next XCompany will be Xguillotine. Like tickets to his exploding rockets, these devices will be sold in billions and likely fail to cut lettuce, but he will as per usual fail upwards and become a quadrinillionaire.

Most of that "perceived" wealth is in the from of greatly over-valued stock shares he owns of his companies. When stocks go to zero...poof, the Muskrat is then on welfare like the rest of us.

TS's avatar

If Welfare is government handouts, he's been on that for years.

“Mendacity is the enemy of man, and yet more and more love is lavished on guile and lies. Truth is homeless in our world.”

But truth, when finally unchained, has a momentum of its own.

A submarine or orca would also serve just fine.

The Revolution Continues's avatar

As an orca, I volunteer my pod of orcas to take out Muskrat's yacht with him on it. :-)

Orcas don’t eat humans ; get a white shark instead.

"His next milestone is to become the world’s first trillionaire to be guillotined". ... Amen

Don't kid yourself. Musk will be fine. What he deserves never comes into it.

The Revolution Continues's avatar

Congratulations to Muskrat on this "first"!! Dare we hope we'll see video of the guillotining on X sometime soon? I'll wait impatiently for that glorious day!

Ohhh how I love listening to these articles being read to me and how the auto text me to voice even sounds comprehensivel condescending and perfectly hitting the nail on the head with many statements read read making it sound like it was always a question if it's wrong but in such a that it was always"comically ironic"

LOVE YOUR WORK NORMAL ISLAND NEWS

Marie Moneysmith's avatar

Agree, but guillotine's too quick. Elon does not deserve a speedy, almost painless death. Something that takes a day or two (more?) and is excruciating for most of that time sounds more appropriate.

@robopulp's avatar

A shining example of how we need to do better.

Amaterasu Solar's avatar

Oh, hunger could be dispensed with on Our planet - easily. Along with poverty, wage-slavery, unEthical things done for profit and control, with truly organic food flowing, and all of Humanity living richly. But We must obsolete Their tool to power, the Ones who beset Us so, the cartel of moneyed psychopaths.

Poverty doesmt disapear with more money. There welfare trials in South America where money was given to the poor who rather than going to the market to buy groceries they went to the bar and drank all the money while the children had nothing to eat. it societal malfunction. A lot of people in shanti towns dont work and they arent ill.

Amaterasu Solar's avatar

That's rather My point. LOL! Money creates poverty. And then there's "work."

I hope You choose to read...

Money doesn't create poverty, the consumerism does. Instead to going to a park people go to shops on Saturdays and Sundays and spend money they don't have.

The wise have a budget and stick to it. It isn't money it is consumerism

Barter is worse because there are too many people who have never seen a seed in their lives

Tove Gambetta's avatar

Barter is very complex and while we have a government, taxes and bills to pay for elecyricity, gas, water and so on money is necessary. Producing isnt free. We arent in the stone age anymore we have a very complex society how to change that requires the cooperation of people who are unlikely to want to change the system they been all their lives. Life in the olden times was tough people died young

Amaterasu Solar's avatar

Not sure why You chose to block Me... LOL! Whatever.

Amaterasu Solar's avatar

I don't think You're grasping. Perhaps You have not read My articles. As I have psoriatic arthritis with bone spurs in My thumbs, making typing painful, I will copypasta a reply I offered elsewhere:

What is the foundational function of "money" (in any form, from goods/services to electronic bits)? To account for the energy We add into a system – which began in times of scarcity when all hands were needed to get needed things done, and no One wanted Ones who took but gave nothing. So proof of energy input began to be required.

And once the trade/barter systems became problematic – People needed something another had but what They had to offer was not wanted by the One who had what They needed – representational things began being used. Every physical token, including the electronic bits, used to prove One added energy is "money."

Of course, We are well past scarcity, and can automate needed work no One wants to do, and money keeps Most in poverty and a Few in privilege – who tend to be psychopaths because money offers power over Others, and They will do literally anything, Ethical or unEthical, to get the most.

Today, 80% and more of Us do nothing needed. Except to push money around, and overall upwards to the moneyed psychopaths in control on Our planet (by virtue of money).

If We added free energy tech, the point to money vanishes. Why account for Our energy added when energy is free? Why retain wage slavery when money is pointless? Why keep the abundance of Our planet from flowing to All with the artificial scarcities that money needs, greed, and psychopathic desire to control create?

The question is... Do We have free energy tech? And I personally KNOW We do.

Would it not be worth it, if We have the wherewithal to do it (sadly, I don't), to get free energy flowing and free Humanity to find what We love to do that helps the most, fulfilling Our potential, following Our bliss, making Our dreams come true?

The One(s) who do that will earn great thanks, praise, appreciation, lauds, renown, fame, even – and bragging rights, adoration, and other positive social currencies.

And because I want to see Humanity thrive, and not taken over by the psychopaths to be Their servants, slaves, sex toys and sacrifices, I keep pushing to motivate the Ones who can to get that tech out there.

It is a exchange mechanism, in the past people exchanged things some hand made others bought. Then came the credit card

I don't have a credit card I use cash

Tove Gambetta's avatar

Before money we bartered but then the populations were small. One can't even imagine how barter will be if the whole of London were bartering, let alone where will they grow their produce 🤔
