You're right, egotistical self involved pricks annoy me, the ones that do immense damage to the world like Musk really really annoy me

I don't think this post is the flex you think it is.

This. This is a big reason that the US is the way it is. So many people jumping to defend and protect billionaires, even while those same billionaires fix the system against the regular people defending them.

The curriculum is inspired by the Montessori educational philosophy, which emphasizes hands-on learning and real-world skills through self-directed learning depending on children’s interests. The school also focuses on a STEM approach: science, technology, engineering and math.

What exactly are your objections here? Having the means to encourage such learning would probably be welcomed, except it seems if the funds came from someone named Musk - is that the gist?

If you had taken a moment to actually look into what we are saying, you might understand. As I said. This is a school Musk built for his own children almost exclusively. No one else can access that education. If you don't understand how that isn't benefiting Musk personally and no one else, all I can do at this point is offer the take the glue stick out of your hands.


How about you do some reading on the dude you defend with no limit?

Elon Musk’s charitable foundation ballooned to $9.5 billion in assets last year while handing out $237 million in gifts, most of which went to other entities controlled by the world’s richest person.

This gave Musk a tax break of up to $2 billion. The rest of that money is still there for him to donate to his other worthy causes, like hair plug clinics.

The IRS mandates that foundations deploy, on average, 5% of assets a year. Musk has repeatedly missed that bar. Over the years, even as the foundation has grown in wealth, he has kept the team small. Its latest filing lists the same handful of people, including himself and his fixer, Jared Birchall.

So it's not just us saying he's a pathetic dead beat, it's also the IRS. Speaking of charity, remember this?

If WFP can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it.

And then they did:

This hunger crisis is urgent, unprecedented, AND avoidable. @elonmusk
, you asked for a clear plan & open books. Here it is! We're ready to talk with you - and anyone else - who is serious about saving lives. The ask is $6.6B to avert famine in 2022

https://electrek.co/2022/02/15/elon-...llions-shares/


And in a shocking move, Musk did actually follow through! He sold the stock, but then instead of helping the starving, he bought Twitter with it. Priorities, I guess? Big decisions need to be made, and ya, #### the hungry anyway.


And then last year he decided that not feeding them wasn't enough, so then he spend another $300 million to get Donald Trump elected, and the first thing he did with this incredible new power was...to take vital food from the mouths of starving babies, and shut off the flow of medical aid, including AIDS prevention for newborn babies through his joyous wood chipper feeding of USAID. He has not acknowledged or apologized for inflicting suffering on the worlds most vulnerable to this day. These are the actions of a psychopath.


This is not a good man, and sure as #### isn't someone any rational person would recognize as providing any sort of charity that doesn't benefit himself. There are no hazy facts here.


So ya, when someone steps in to defend this massive #### stain on humanity, I'm gonna call them out. Because facts and the truth are on my side, and all you have is an indoctrinated cult brain incapable of reasoning, logic, and understanding.


Maybe you can find another typo to hit me with though, that should discredit everything.

But isn't Elon rent free in you head?
Obsessing with affection and simping for a guy you've never met sure meets that description.

The thoughts don't have to be negative to live in your head. I can guarantee you and his fanboys spend more time thinking/worshipping/idolizing Elon than others do thinking about him.
You in essence pay him rent to live in your head; through devotion & guru worship.

Evergreen meme:

Baby Hitler anyone?

"We're going to make Baby Grok @xAI, an app dedicated to kid-friendly content," Mr Musk wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Beyond this, Mr Musk did not disclose details on how the children-focused AI app will differ from xAI's usual offering. Unlike other chatbots, Mr Musk's Grok is known for giving foul-mouthed replies if the user asks for it. However, with children also operating the chatbot, it could have a negative influence, which may have prompted the development of Baby Grok.

The funny part will be when everyone works through breaking Baby Grok's restrictions. That'll be entertaining.


Like trying to keep Grok aligned in the correct position between woke and Nazi, he may find keeping Baby Grok rated G is an impossible task, given his training data. I suspect this fails away into re-tooling after a month or so and never really resurfaces.


One of Musk's problems is he thinks reality functions the same as a sci-fi story, not realizing the story is written to only work within the bounds of the concept the writer is conveying. The rest is window dressing. So it fails in the real world when reality blends with the basic idea he's taken from a book. And reality doesn't follow forced narratives for long.

$100 million for the school, housed in a small white farmhouse than can accommodate 21 students and features small wooden desks, a wooden shelf, and a blue rug.
