    And this from the guy that “challenged” the UN to offer a plan on ending world hunger, which they already had prepared but somehow he didn’t follow through with it

      He blames them for ‘not being transparent’, or somesuch bullshit. Fact is, he just didn’t want to do it because he’s a selfish turd who’ll say anything to get attention.

      Which to me just doesn’t make sense.

      The man is hungry for attention and respect. His money would have bought him that and then some.

      It was right there. Don’t buy a super yacht and you’d effectively buy good will and get to one up all the rich elite club members, even if it doesn’t work. And all that free marketing to help the numbers go up.

      I dunno. Maybe money at that level just rewires the brain.

        Because he has no real money. His money is there to prop his wealth, the moment he touches it significantly, it dissolves.

        It’s an ego thing, wealth can only ever go up.

    In 2024 USAID spent about $21 billion dollars. That’s about 2% of Elon Musk’s current “wealth.” The fact that he doesn’t even have to pay that much in taxes is an absolute failure.
