We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Who is his audience when he tells lies like this? Like, who is agreeing with him? Even beyond how bonkers it is to say out loud, it also doesn’t benefit him to further alienate himself from the world, does it?
Crazy right wingers who go "Obviously we need to cut welfare so this genius doesn't have to pay taxes! Then one day I will be just as rich as him and be glad I didn't make people as rich as him and future-me pay taxes!"
"That'll show those poor!"
"Why are you cheering? You're not rich."
"True, but someday, I might be. And then people like me had better watch their step!"
Right I had forgotten that liars often have other liars’ backs.
I can only imagine it's rich people who use this argument to try to justify hoarding wealth. After all, minimum wage is $7/hour, so these lazy bums only have to work one hour a week to live and they're still complaining? They can easily save money every week. It's their problem, not the person with billions of dollars.
This comment is ironic considering that this article is exaggerating what Musk said.
the entire article is a litany of musk’s lies. even if the $1 a day part is a stretch (because it’s in reference to food), the words straight from the horses mouth are blatantly untrue.
where is the irony? do you believe everything he says in the article?
