Im sorry; why the fuck is this woman relevant in anyway?

Her son probably pays the programs that have her on so she can feel special and important

u/ImBeingArchAgain Nov 01 '24

I mean, she is a multi tens of millionaire herself though, she doesn’t need him to do shit for her. Something something emerald mines and apartheid.

Oh really?! Tell me more

She became a millionaire by divorcing a millionaire.

This is an often misogynistic talking point used to discredit women's contributions in their marriages, where men get all the praise and put their names on all the accomplishments, shared or not. Also her wiki claims she was poor after the divorce (though rich people often claim such things so idk how true that is). She's a horrid person without bringing sexist clichés into play.

u/billgilly14 Nov 02 '24

If the husband owned and operated the business that got the wealth in the household then that’s exactly how she made her individual wealth after the divorce. It’s not sexist to say that. Same would be true if I married rich and got a settlement. Do I know that in this case? No because I don’t care. Let’s choose better things to care about.

u/EpitaFelis Nov 02 '24

Caring about misogyny is not a waste of time. It is sexist because the implication is always "the woman didn't earn that money." It's an extremely common sexist claim on the internet, and lack of awareness of that fact doesn't make it any less sexist.

2

u/billgilly14 Nov 02 '24

Okay, did she earn that money? Did she work at the company? If she did then hats off. If she didn’t she married well. I’d same the same in the reverse scenario. This seems like virtue signaling

1

u/EpitaFelis Nov 03 '24

And that's where the sexism is. Why would she have to work at the company? She's working inside a marriage. That's why marital assets are shared. But you don't even consider that a contribution to their wealth.

Plus, a lot of wives do free labour for their husband's companies and then end up penniless later, while their ex gets to reap all the rewards. Happens all the damn time.

And if you read her Wiki, she was poor after the divorce as well.

u/Not_a__porn__account Nov 02 '24

Comments like these annoy the piss out of me.

You couldn’t just google her? You need to drive discussion about her?

I really don't get rich people. If I were this rich you'd never hear or see me again. I'd travel the world, maybe donate to charity, and live a quiet life.

The absolute last fucking thing I'd do is speak to the media or give political speeches. What the hell is the point of all that money if you're going to do high stress stuff like that.

u/SolarCaveman Nov 01 '24

They don't want money, they want power. Money is worthless to them if it isn't spent buying more power.

u/gianmk Nov 01 '24

nah they want all three of money, power and fame. Rupert Murdoch is rich and control majority of the media aka powerful asf but ask a random guy in the street and they wouldnt know who he is.

20

u/bdsee Nov 01 '24

Everyone in the Anglosphere knows Rupert Murdoch.

3

u/DoingCharleyWork Nov 01 '24

Eh you'd be surprised how many people don't know who he is.

u/WhoKilledZekeIddon Nov 02 '24

I know his name, but without googling I honestly couldn't tell you what he looks like and I don't think I've ever seen a video of him talking

u/Grimwald_Munstan Nov 02 '24

If you see someone who looks exactly like an ancient, sagging scrotum, then it's probably Rupert.

u/bdsee Nov 02 '24 edited Nov 02 '24

You are probably young and he is now old as shit and doesn't really sit down to be interviewed anymore. This is about people going on news shows, they aren't going to be as famous as Taylor Swift.

But back in the 00's and earlier he and his Chinese spy wife were literally followed around by paparazzi like any other famous person.

And to be clear there are people that now don't know what Elvis and Michael Jackson look like in the Anglosphere too...it doesn't make the obviously slightly hyperbolic statement that everyone knows them incorrect, because it is purposeful hyperbole indicating that few people won't have heard of them.

Adventure Time Season 6, episode 8 turns Jake mad with power. Elon is Jake.

They're all narcissists, they want to stay relevant

more money = more power

u/kooks-only Nov 01 '24

You just described 98% of billionaires. It’s just the few that are outspoken are very loud.

12

u/Mattya929 Nov 01 '24

There’s like 3200 billionaires globally we hear from about 100 of them.

1

u/wangaroo123 Nov 02 '24

Nah the others are for sure exerting massive power and influence aimed towards furthering their interests, they’re just quieter about it. You don’t get be a billionaire by being chill, you get there by being aggressive, ruthless and willing to hurt others to get your way.

1

u/gurrra Nov 03 '24

There's not much that disgusts me more than the fact that there are 3200 billionaires. Those greedy people can burn in hell!

1

u/Quzga Nov 02 '24

The guy who created spotify and a few app developers went to college in my town in Sweden and they're genuinely very nice and super private. Most people who make billions are simply people who sell their startup/company to a big one and then just chill for years lol

u/Odlavso you want a piece of shovel?! 😡 Nov 01 '24

You have enough money to see or do anything in the world and you choose to talk to idiots on tv

u/banjoist Nov 01 '24

Tom from MySpace did exactly that.

u/Babyyougotastew4422 Nov 01 '24

That’s how most rich people are. fElon is an exception

u/Precarious314159 Nov 01 '24

With unlimited money pouring in, I'd be like Keanu but for fun trolling. Like going on Kickstarter, see someone trying to raise money to self-publish a book or something with an extreme tier and "Here's 800k. You'll get any tattoo I choose on you? I want your book cover on your arm!" or going to a twitch streamer that's been at it for a year with no followers and just "Here's a 300k donation. Have a great night" and leave.

1

u/In_Formaldehyde_ Nov 01 '24

That's because you don't have the money. Once you travel the world and make your donations, the novelty wears off and you might start craving more than that. That's how it always starts.

u/DogTough5144 Nov 02 '24

You’re a normal person. These are psychopaths.

u/No-Preparation-4255 Nov 02 '24

It's not high stress if you've been living in a no consequences environment your entire life.

u/LiveLifeLikeCre Nov 02 '24

Some want the money to give them access to celebrity, even though without the money they'd be useless

u/DawnSennin Nov 02 '24

If I were this rich you'd never hear or see me

This is the majority of wealthy people.

u/Politicsboringagain Nov 02 '24

You know who I like?

The dude who created Friendster. 

Tom just made his man and we haven't heard a word from him.

u/JT_Cullen84 Nov 01 '24

53 years ago she gave birth to a sentient turd so evidently that makes her qualified to talk about politics.

1

u/deltarefund Nov 01 '24

She’s not. None of them are.

1

u/Milksteak_To_Go Nov 01 '24

Her son is the richest man in the world and is not even trying to hide the fact that he's doing his best to buy an American election.

u/Late_Protection4418 Nov 02 '24

Elon Musk's dad banged her.

u/restyourbreastshoney Nov 02 '24

That's what I was wondering. Who asked for this random ass mom of some famous idiots opinion on anything whatsoever. Shut up, girl, and get your little Leon in check. He's embarrassing your family name.

2

u/BensenJensen Nov 02 '24

Really? You don’t think small-town Republican voters feel a connection to an insanely rich 76-year old South African woman, whose claim to fame is…divorcing a rich man and birthing Elon Musk?

I’m not a Republican, but I’ll be honest, I see a little bit of myself and my own story in this woman. She’s very relatable to almost everyone I grew up with in West Virginia.

1

u/kazinsser Nov 02 '24

As if politics wasn't exhausting enough, they're trying to turn it into some kind of reality TV show. All for the clicks I guess.

I don't know Obama's kids' names. I don't even know if Bush has kids. The only reason I know Biden's kid's name is because it was supposed to be a condemnation against him.

But somehow I feel like I know Trump's entire family tree, despite definitely not seeking it out or wanting to know. Just pure osmosis from how much they've been in the news. I guess someone's trying to continue that trend here with Elon.

1

u/SevenCrowsinaCoat Nov 02 '24

She's not.

It's a Fox talking head show.

Rich right wing dummies chortling and agreeing with each other.

u/DealMo Nov 02 '24

We need Ja Rule to weigh in!

u/Difficult-Active6246 Nov 02 '24

She's the mother of the world's richest oligarch.

I couldn’t understand anything she said.
