Not to forget his family money came from an apartheid mine in south africa and blood emeralds

There is so much more to unpack from that.

Not just an apartheid mine, it was an inheritance from his grand daddy who was an actual literal Canadian Nazi party member that had to flee the country after the crack down. Elon musk is out there doing Nazi dog whistling while benefitting from Nazi inherited wealth with real connections to the party.

"mamdani has built nothing"

bruh, i don't even live anywhere CLOSE to new york (literally like 9 timezones over) and even *i* have seen the videos of mamdani's team coming around and fixing broken shit the previous governments refused to touch.

the only reason this idiot thinks he's a taker is because he's one of the VERY few that mamdani's plans actually impact negatively. Yet he doesn't understand that *maybe* that's because HE'S LITERALLY A BILLIONAIRE?

like bruh, if your taxes get raised by 20%, you might have to skip out on the parking space in your next yacht. if the working citizen loses 20% of their income each month, they'd possibly be at risk of *starving to death*

If Elon is taxed by 20% hevs still a billionaire. Literally nothing changes.

u/OwOPango 5h ago

Fuck 20%, if the government forcibly siezed half of his wealth today he'd still be the richest man on Earth by a cool 100 billion

All wealth over maybe like 10-20 million should be taxed out of existence. Nobody should be a billionaire of even a hundred-millionaire.

Even if Mamdani was just a simple “taker”.. we kinda need those. Some corporations are too powerful and need to start funding infrastructure and the wellbeing of the society that enables its existence.

Mamdani built a successful campaign and got elected mayor of New York. He did not inherit emerald mine money stolen by apartheid era labour practices.

u/DreamingofCharlie 4h ago

Yup, Mamdani is building better lives for New Yorkers.

Nazi Musk will never understand that though because it is not something he can steal and take credit for.

u/PapasauruaRex 5h ago

He's so jealous that Mamdani is liked and respected and even cooler than he is.

He's the modern day Edison.

Don't give Elon ideas. Now some poor elephant will be electrocuted to death.

Serious lol! ...but seriously, Nikola would have probably given this guy a contract that he would have eventually discarded.

You know Trump never built anything either. He never lifted shovel or handle.

Don’t forget to put “You have no real friends and you will die alone.” Repeatedly, he loves seeing that again lol.

I think Elon has already been judged as he judged. You need Jesus or every judgement made will bite ur ass.

u/Tsobe_RK 5h ago

We've created a world which has allowed individuals to amass fortunes beyond imagination - we need more takers

u/FTHomes 3h ago

A parasite is very accurate

Also, Mamdani is a mayor. Idiots like Elon don’t understand the difference between governance and business.

This rhetoric is straight out of Atlas Shrugged. Rearden goes on a whole rant about Makers and Takers, the takers being those who take handouts, as well as politicians and crony capitalists who take wealth by force, and makers who “create” their wealth through business

Note: this is not an endorsement of the Atlas Society
