There might literally not be one single person on the planet less qualified to speak to the issue of "reasonable spending" than the guy who spent $44 billion dollars to make everybody hate Twitter.
He also took billions in government subsidies and ordered the construction of a car tunnel with LED lights and zero safety measures. That one was a success for its intended purposes, however; it prevented the construction of mass transit rail in California.
I think he made that up after the fact once it became abundantly clear how dumb hyperloop was. US states, generally, don't need the help of a billionaire to stay car-brained public transport deniers.
He never wanted improved mass transit in California, so even if he bumblefucked into that outcome, it's still serendipity for him.
idk money well spent imo
We should abolish money anyway
That guy could like pay for people to crew tall ships and sail around doing mock pirate battles and treasure hunts or whatever fantasy he wanted to live out.
And he chooses to do this.
or whatever fantasy he wanted to live out.
His fantasy is to be the universally beloved meme master. 
He could build a Martian colony set and probably enough dorks would volunteer to larp worship of God-king musk of the funniest memes.
The guy has a terminal lack of imagination.
His imagination is so vast and profound that he once posted a picture of his future vision for his fantastical Martian colony.
It was a picture of a many-laned highway with cars on it. With a red filter. 
And before this stunt, he was re-tweeting (or should I say, "re-Xitting") Pepe frog Frenworld memes. He literally reposted plagiarized Frenworld content, just like an incel basement dweller.
Well shit, I guess he was a professional quote-maker all along. 
In this moment I am euphoric. Not because of any phony God's blessing. But because I have a nice rack. 
I'd post the "nice argument, however..." meme, but 
At this moment, he is euphoric. Not because of DEI woke mind viruses, but because he has brought the light of consciousness to the stars.
Eh?
LMAO this fuckin rules.
LMAO this fuckin rules.
I'm an arrogant asshole and even I don't quote myself. Other people do it for me because I am infinitely cooler than this billionaire manchild dweeb.

Not a high bar to clear, but still, 
Had to count the number of words, just to see if it hit the magic 14
The 17 words
Q
Now that is a deep (state) cut.
where did the 17 thing come from?
I was just relistening to some old QAA episodes where they talked about the return of Q and the 17 thing and I still don't get it
Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet. The 17th president was Andrew Johnson. Andrew Johnson is still alive and he is Q. QED.
Well, it's more like 10 billion now and dropping. 
I am honestly surprised he hasn't tanked/broken the entire platform by now. Really a testament to the few extremely talented software engineers he has left.
I guess you could argue about all that in 2016, but we've seen what he did and what he's willing to do now, to be pretty fucking certain none of these things will ever happen under a republican president, and even less so under another Trump presidency.
Only the democrats have the know-how to protect their “nation of immigrants” from being invaded by hordes of immigrants while not changing the imperialist policies that cause mass immigration in the first place! Kamala is brat and girlboss and republicans could never do genocide as good as her.
thirst for power 
narcissism
Oh but when I get high off my own farts I'm a pervert?
Yes.
Great man theory is a cancer on society. Elon thinks he's one of them.
It's closely related to that whole "dae le simulation theory" and its consequent belief that people the believer dislikes must be "NPCs" too.

It brings me some comfort to know for a fact that Elon Musk is worse at being a Poster than I will ever be at anything
It's practically his job, too
The bourgeoisie is in it's decadent phase and we should mock them and then annihilate them

Imagine Ted Faro, but not smart at all and the robots can't do shit.
No (immediate) planetary apocalypse, but the downside is you have to live through his extended midlife crisis. 
The APOLLO subordinate function was woke
But is he euphoric?
some day I'll be a professional quote maker just like him
So I've been asking myself who is the worse businessman between these two? Because I don't know if even trump would spend 44 billion on that shit.
