| > not contributing to musk's empire You are if you've got a 401(k), just not voluntarily. The SpaceX IPO is basically a scam designed to force pension funds to buy in before the stock price falls to where it should be. |

| The whole society is pandering to the people with the most money, you can't separate yourself from that. For instance more of your customers - no matter what you do - are Musk fans because that's what gives them money and makes them more likely to become a customer. |

| Somebody sells a tesla and then buys something from you with that money... and now you're contributing to musk's empire. Our money is set up so that you're not in a position to consent to it or even be aware of it. |

| > Are y'all really buying Teslas and blue twitter checks? The fact that he has a bunch of money really has no bearing on me. The lives of many people who have never given Elon Musk a dime have been materially worsened by the fact that he has a bunch of money, since that money bought political power and he used it in a way that was very destructive to a lot of people across the globe. Happy for you that you weren't impacted, but a lot of people were and still will be. |
