The richest man alive and still begging for party invites is crazy

u/Drewbus 19h ago

Richest officially documented man*

u/cesspool4us 17h ago

This is the shit that gets me. This dude is as wealthy as Forbes says he is. But there's no way he is the wealthiest. You are telling me there aren't generational families that hold much larger private assets. Things that can't even be recorded they are so private and date so far back. But this dude. He's the richest. El oh El.

u/PotatoFarmer_44 17h ago

I mean, you don't even have to look at generational wealth alone. There's middle east oil sheikhs of the past century who probably don't disclose their entire value either but their "known net worths" are already the gdp of many small countries.

Then you have people who run drug empires making hand over foot who clearly aren't in the public light either. Pablo Escobar and the Cali Cartel made fortunes within a decade in the 80's, we probably don't know the modern equivalent and they might be making even more profit than we know of.

We only know people wealth when they have stock, so lots of people richer than Musk, Putin probably has him beat by 2-5x.

Show your working, class.

u/2Completion2Ography 13h ago

Show your working class.

The working class is Putin's stock. If he liquidized his assets, he would literally make the vulgus liquid.

u/Bubbly-Bar-7449 10h ago

Escobar spent enormous amounts of money just to buy rubber bands to hold their cash together.

u/SirBruceForsythCBE 15h ago

Cargill and Koch are just two of the absolutely huge privately owned companies.

The richest people in the world don't want you to know who they are. They probably laugh at people like Musk drawing attention to themselves. The real puppet masters could walk past you on the street and you wouldn't know.

u/DeflateAwning 15h ago

Putin is the weathiest by some accounts, if measuring the weath available at their immediate disposal with nearly no checks/balances

u/hazeyAnimal 18h ago

Calling elon a man is an offense to mankind.

The fantastic four dont deserve this

u/Underyourbed4661 9h ago

Honestly, dehumanizing is an issue. We need to acknowledge that bad people are just people,otherwise we are thinking that a sane Human being is incapable of such deeds.They are humans, humans of the worst kind

1

u/2Completion2Ography 13h ago

Right? Its clearly a thing

Save dehumanization for the Nazis, otherwise w-- hm? Oh, right right, my bad.

It's clearly a thing, correct.

u/rudyv8 17h ago

Makes u wonder. If he can buy anything, why didnt he throw his own parties. What could ol Jeffy get him that money couldnt.

u/hungry4nuns 17h ago

It’s very telling about elons character that not only did he plead multiple times to go to pdf island, but even Jeffrey epstein didn’t trust elon. And epstein trusted people like trump, the bar is clearly extremely low.

How untrustworthy do you have to be as a person for a literal child trafficking empire to say “your billions of dollars are no good here, we don’t want your business. You’re very clearly going to rat everyone out to save your own skin”

24

u/hates_stupid_people 15h ago

Rat everyone out to save himself? He'd be bragging about going there within a week. He would think he was being subtle while basically stating it plainly.


You have to remember that this is a man who had someone else level characters for him in online games he barely knows, then start streaming himself pretending to be a higher end player. He is genuinly so stupid and narcissistic that he didn't think other players would notice his lack of skill or familiarity with the game.

He literally has the mindset of an edgy teenager, he never grew up mentally.

u/Steinrikur 14h ago

Musk is emotionally 13. Trump is somewhere between 3 and 6.

4

u/Wrong-Fella 13h ago

Definitely Trump's IQ.

1

u/Underyourbed4661 9h ago

i dislike Trump, but genuinely for him to reach the presidency despite fucking up multiple times, makes me think he is very people smart(it kinda makes what he does worse)

1

u/Steinrikur 5h ago

I think that he's an amazing grifter, and he managed to get way more people to vote for him than should be humanly possible.

But he's still a "low IQ individual", and emotionally very similar to my kindergartener.

u/BuzzAllWin 15h ago

Also elon is uttery unlikeable. Even as a child. Like to the point where i feel sorry for child elon. His class mates hated him so much they bullied him mercilessly. He had one friend who his tormentors eventually convinced to lure elon to a secluded spot where they all beat him badly. But he just never seemed to loose this unlikeabilty no matter how successful he was, he legit has an evil villain origin story

8

u/rab2bar 14h ago

My understanding is that he relentlessly bullied a boy who had lost a parent and Elon was given a comeuppance

9

u/PomegranateHot9916 13h ago

he could absolutely make his own pdf island.

the reason he didn't do that and throw his own pdf parties is because most of the people who went to epsteins island would decline the invitation.

he has the wealth to be a pdf and get away with it, easily it seems. but his wealth can't give him the connections, the pals, the network. because they can't stand him probably.
he makes the room awkward, he makes people uncomfortable.

and these are people who are having sex torture parties with trafficked children.

1

u/PresentHouse9774 10h ago

My guess? He could have thrown the parties himself but didn't think anyone would come. It's middle school (US ages 11-14) all over again.

5

u/Moohamin12 17h ago

He wasn't close to that then.

He was a tech space darling but still classed under the needy dude that doesn't have a major presence.

It was only during Covid and after where he gained prominence. Notably the Thailand cave incident.

3

u/TheAskewOne 15h ago

That’s the story of his life. Unloved, despised and eternally unsatisfied. Hoarding money in the hope he’ll become respected and feel joy, but that will never happen because he’s a pos.

2

u/Constant-Machine8838 11h ago

Child rape party request.

2

u/Vitringar 10h ago

He is not invited to my parties.

1

u/Sharp_Emphasis176 17h ago

Proves that power is better than money.

1

u/dan_santhems 14h ago

He got turned away from Berghain. All that money and they guy can't buy the thing he wants the most, to be cool

1

u/Odd-Supermarket-3664 10h ago

He was begging to hang out with a head of one of the largest pedophile rings

u/ifloops 9h ago

(girls FTW!)

-Elon Musk

u/midas22 9h ago

And Elon Musk was begging him after Epstein was found guilty for underage sex trafficking as well.

Epstein literally over there like "bro we've got all the blackmail we need stop asking to give us more".

u/Sharkwatcher314 7h ago

Parts of high school stay the same regardless of age and wealth I guess

u/I-actually-agree 1h ago

That brings me comfort. Wealth divides us in a way neither can comprehend but hurt feelings, hurt the same.
