This guy's really not great at veiling his dream of being world boss man.

He's so fuckin' stupid that the fact that he's insanely rich is really the problem.

This guy could have a stroke tomorrow and talk only about my little pony and he'd still have influence.

Musk could have a lobotomy and switch to painting public urinals with his own shit and he would still have influence.

Both of these south African Nazi fuckbois are the best example of what's wrong with the world.

Oh and Alex Karp can suck a giant dick and get fucked too.

Oh nah, he doesn't wanna be the world's boss - that's work, and exposes him to way too much criticism and publicity. He'd much rather be the Wormtongue or Saruman than be Sauron. He wants the benefits of access to power, not necessarily the power itself (and the vulnerability that comes with it).

You say that, but Thiel just got his guy elected, and had his tool (musk) export all government agency data to his data banks.
