What you really mean to say is you can’t abide the bloke because he’s made lots of money.I can't abide the bloke. I hope people abandon his platform and someone invents a much more successful one instead, making his 44 billion worth about as much as a 19 year old BMW 318i with the wheels missing.
Do you really think he cares about what the twiterrati think of his travel arrangements? The guy owns a rocket company.The only reason he did it is to stop a teenager reporting all the flights his private jet takes.
Ahh, there you go. At least the veil is off now, you just hate him because he’s rich.Billionaires need to be taxed out of existence I'm afraid.
A laughing emoji doesn’t do this justice. This is by far the funniest tweet I’ve seen in a long time.

"He's a billionaire who doesn't even have a master's degree"?
It’s astonishing what one man can achieve in his lifetime with the right skills. It’s like being alive in the time of Brunel watching Elon at work.
Maybe from a different planet then just dropped in?Indeed. There’s no one on the planet that gets anywhere near Elon with regards to what he’s achieved.

Then drops a bollock by buying Twitter.People say but what about Jeff bezos…….. he set up a worldwide delivery service to sell other people stuff, or Branson ……. Who setup an airline service and radio station. Yes both successful in their own right but Elon developed electric cars and is now accessing space frequently. Nobody comes close.
He did it because he can. How often do people on here bellyache about the supermarkets/meat buyers/unions/certification schemes? Constantly. Except we don't have the financial firepower to do much about it.Then drops a bollock by buying Twitter.
So if a guy or girl that founds a business with hard graft employs a multitude of people across the globe, pays taxes, and spends money in relative economies, becomes a billionaire should then be taxed out of existence? Why, because you are not?

Adversity always breeds opportunity. My grandfather's small farm sawmill made a small fortune during WW2 supplying pit props, this was the springboard he needed to establish a large company still going today. Do we start taxing everybody who makes windfall money? How about the arable farmers when wheat hits £1000/t? Where does it end?Please, explain to me how it is morally right for individuals or companies to radically increase their new wealth during a pandemic and with most Western countries deeply in debt?
If you want to buy twitter then no, its about 43 billion short.What fudging odds does it make how big your pile of treasure is? Is 1 billion not enough?
They have a good break or start possibly?People say but what about Jeff bezos…….. he set up a worldwide delivery service to sell other people stuff, or Branson …….

Paypal was pretty revolutionary actually.'Developed electric cars'- no he did not. The bloke made his money inventing Paypal. Hardly revolutionary. The rest is bluster and BS designed to con investors.

My quote was said in jest, couldn't give a flying f**k what he does with his money.He did it because he can. How often do people on here bellyache about the supermarkets/meat buyers/unions/certification schemes? Constantly. Except we don't have the financial firepower to do much about it.
Elon Musk does and the way Twitter was run obviously irritated him so he did what he could to change it by buying it.
