Elon Musk to join Twitter’s board of directors

And none of that matters. He has a lot of money solely because PayPal investors gave it to him for no real reason, just like Peter Thiel. But nobody pretends Thiel is some kind of racist old-money villain. (Although they do call him a vampire and he is a lot of other things.)

Btw, now that he's rich because Tesla investors keep on wanting to give him a lot of money for no reason, seizing/nationalizing the company and giving it to the poor wouldn't work, because those investors don't want to give _them_ money.

I was addressing your claim that the OP was a lie and that Musk had no more privilege than others. Those facts do matter when addressing your claims.

Who said anything about seizing the company? And what do easily duped retail investors have to do with anything I posted?
