              not literally no, but when you refuse to spend any of your actual money. That’s how you get that rich.

              Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

                He’s rich because he started with daddy’s slave money and then continued to exploit labor and natural resources to get to his position in life.

          Sorry I thought you were talking about Trump’s Truth Social. The humour isn’t lost on me that your highly specific innuendo wasn’t clear enough lol.

          If we’re talking about Elon Musk…? Then I get the feeling the anti-tax dude who just elected the Republican majority and whose family ran bloody emerald mines in Africa would be willing to donate, I think I’m better off here reaching out to all of you.

          I’ll write something nice up if you’ve got that email, though.

            I’m sorry why should I be “donating” to a fucked up system when I could support deposing those who run this system?

            Sounds like musk is a great candidate to be thrown into a volcano next. Or maybe we should just send him to mars one way, he’d like that.

              You would be donating directly to a fucked up nonprofit Hospital who treats terminal children, with no insurance middleman. There is not supposed to be incentive to this. This is something people should be open to doing.

                  If you gave a dollar to the Jailhouse commissary and a dollar to St Judes then I commend you, absolutely, but everyone would be better off if you gave $2 to St Jude.
