    He’s not American. Who gives a god damned fuck of a fuck what some Canadian billionaire has to say about Americans voting. I’m convinced it’s to make people hate America more because everyone just seems to think these billionaires sprout up here. No. Canada, take out your trash and take Elon fucking musk back, too, he’s more yours than ours.

    The only upside is that billionaires don’t pay taxes. But they exercise power in so many other ways they don’t care about their one little vote.
