All this dude has to do is be filthy rich and shut the fuck up. That’s it.
Give me a billion, trillion dollars and I’d just walk the earth, man. You’d never hear from me.
You’d never get to a billion, because nobody needs a billion to live. You only get to a billion by being insane, thinking you need to get the high score in capitalism.
People who say they’d retire and walk the earth would just do that at a million or four, and not wait until you hit billions to stop.
2 million at 6 percent a year in gains/dividends is 120k a year. I would say a vast majority of us could live a very comfortable life with 2 million. That’s a middle class income for the rest of your life.
The sad thing is we’re all closer to 2 million than 2 million is to the 200 billion Elon is worth.
The “rule” is 4%, and even that bummer is high at this point. I think 3, it 3.5 is closer to reality.
So it would get you ~60k.
That’s still plenty to live a comfortable life (assuming your investments allows you to adjust this figure for inflation in perpetuity). Maybe not everywhere, but since you don’t have to work anymore you’re quite flexible.
Depends on how old you are when you retire. 3-3.5% is much safer if you are like 20yo and never want to (or can’t) work again.
4% is plenty safe if you are 65yo. Once you hit 80+ your expenses are probably going to be pretty low, you probably own your house, probably aren’t traveling much, and you don’t really need more “stuff”.
Reminds me of this quote from Succession:
You can’t do anything with five, Greg. Five’s a nightmare. Can’t retire, not worth it to work. Oh yes, five will drive you un poco loco. Poorest rich person in America. The world’s tallest dwarf.
Also kind of like the end result of the show, “Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire.” They went through this whole show and the girl that won thought she was going to ball out in mansions and exotic cars with a closet bigger than her house. Nope. The dude lived a humble life in a very normal house in the suburbs. He was a very typical millionaire, paid off home, decent 401k, and some money in the bank so he was comfortable, but not insanely wealthy. She was pissed, and the marriage didn’t last long, if I remember correctly.
Can’t retire on 5 mil…?
The show is about a Rupert Murdock-type multi-billionaire and his children, who have always lived in absolute luxury. 5M is nothing for them, for example one of them asks his father for financial help to the tune of $100M.
Tom from Myspace. He sold it at the top and just cruises around the earth with his beautiful wife knowing that his family’s wealth is secure. And everyone who was online in the early 2000s is his friend.
hell, if he kept his mouth shut people would probably still be lauding him as some genius billionaire innovator but no he had to open it like a true brainlet
Seriously. I’d probably buy a nice comfy sailboat and travel the world, staying away from the spot light, mostly off the grid, seeing new places and enjoying exploring and generally not working or being at all publicized.
If I had enough, I’d probably throw some money at a university to build a building with my name on it and a bequest to specialize in research to un-fuck the planet and stay the hell out of their way.
Be like Richard Branson, just enjoying life lol
Paul Allen seemed to go this route too. All I know about him is he left Microsoft with billions, bought what was essentially his own cruise ship, and sailed around.
Narcissism
Too much drugs and being bored
Oh, at first I interpreted this as he deleted someone else’s tweets that were doing that. But of course that’s not what it means.
Haha, same here. I was thinking, “Wait…did Elon actually do something decent for a change?!”
It’s like how hitler killed hitler
But then it’s '43 and you just misread
Interesting. Journalists are probably used to that information being enough: “Blah deletes tweets” has always meant “deletes their own tweets” because nobody can delete someone else’s tweets.
Except, Elon can, so it’s perfectly reasonable to interpret this headline as him deleting someone else’s nazi shit. Just a bit of a careless headline tbh.
Right, like if someone said “Reddit mod deletes controversial posts” we wouldn’t assume it was their posts.
That’s because that’s what it says
Since he’s a mod/admin of twitter, it’s ambiguous.
Nazis gonna Nazi. Also, fuck Nazis.
Elon is dumb
Instead of banning Nazi accounts, he just reverses his own retweets of Nazi accounts. Nazi-move by a Nazi.
Someone needs to WWII that Nazi.
Yeah what a great information source - the fasXist firehose.
Garbage. Delete.
I did Natsee that coming.

People need to actually read the article. By “Blatant Antisemitism”, they literally just mean “Pro-Palestinian”.
Using ‘Jew’ as an insult is not pro-Palestinian.
