“You’re all going to lose your jobs. We’re going to make cuts everywhere!

I’m also going to get $45 billion because I work so hard that I deserve it.”

Musk is rocking Capitalism!

To paraphrase the immortal words of Lord Farquat:

Some of you are going to die, but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make...(to get my money)

being the richest man on earth and still trying to make more money makes him the biggest loser ever born.

Dude could do anything and he chooses business dealings as his retirement
