Seriously, we could all find a way to give away $1B better than pissing away $44B that Elon looks as though he's determined to do.

x When Power Ball was a billion, I bought a few tickets. I started thinking about the good I could do. Feed and house the vulnerable and help them get back on their feet. Battered women’s shelters, dog rescues. Never thought about buying a social media platform and fucking it up. — RETIRED MASTER CHIEF⚓️ (@CMCRET) November 18, 2022

I did the same mental exercise. My first thought was which attorneys from DK to call to help me set up the entities I would need to do just that. Two came to mind. One I’ve worked with before. The other is also well known here. Both have worked with non-profits/charities. How many entities? Structured separately? Or pyramidal? Separate boards?



I’m 65, there’s no way I could spend $1B in what’s left of my life. Giving it away in an organized manner is the only logical thing to do. Compare that to a man child pissing away $44B because of his bruised ego.



What we’re witnessing from billionaires due to their egos has to be unprecedented. We have one actively trying to destroy a country because… Ego. We have another spending $44B to gain control of a company and platform because the general public on that platform mocked and humiliated him. And after he buys it his ego won’t allow him to accept he doesn’t know what he’s doing. The ultimate example of Dunning-Kruger.
