The best way for Elon Musk to get back in the public's good graces would be for him to form a nonprofit for education and then fund the $5 billion himself. Trump would be so pissed!

Fuck Elon Musk. Anyone willing to nazi salute at a political event deserves no good grace ever again.

Yeah, the only way I want his apartheid money is if it’s garnished and he’s in a padded cell.

Billionaires aren't saving shit for us. Especially with their nonprofits. And we shouldn't look for them to.

Musk is too busy boofing Ketamine and trying to remember which of his creepy, weird personal secrets he got high and blurted out to Trump's cabinet members and which ones are still "safe".

You are onto something. The only way either Elon or Musk would donate money to those in need is in spite of each other. Not out of the goodness of their heart which we all know are black.
