He used to target millionaires and billionaires. Now that he is a millionaire he targets billionaires and trillionairs. He doesn’t have integrity. He figured out how to make money in the system. He is a true socialist.

You are the idiot. Bernie never held a real job until he got elected to Mayor of Burlington. He even got kicked out of a commune for being to lazy.

do i give a damn? 😭 why does any of that matter?

Well, you did call him a liar for a trend that was noticed by many during the 2020 primary. The rest of his post was opinion and I don’t agree with it but the language change was enough to be reported on. Here is one example.

who cares 🤷♂️
thisoneisnotasbad t1_j8azj0t wrote
Nobody cares, but again, you called him a liar for an issue which was reported on which actually makes you the liar there. So I guess if you don’t care you are a liar, that is on you, I personally don’t care that you are a liar. Just pointing it out in case you missed it.

Exactly, who cares. But if you can't be held to a standard of telling the truth, why expect anyone else to be held to that standard?

All he did was write a book LOL
thisoneisnotasbad t1_j8atmk6 wrote
I think the general observation is two fold to be honest. I dont really care how much money he has. I do think it is kinda funny his answer was write a best selling book and you can be a millionaire too. Yeah man, that’s how a consumer driven economy works. That is the definition of capitalism. Produce a product lots of people want and you can get rich. This is exactly what Gates, Musk, and Bezos did.
The second part, the language pivot looks bad even if his core message remains the same. Like if your stump speech rallies against a socioeconomic class you suddenly become a part of, then you drop that class from your speech, it makes you look a little hypocritical.

Fun story: I was actually in college with one of the original Tesla engineers. She went off and joined that no-name startup before Elon even bought it.
He also bought the title of "founder", and pretended ever after that he'd founded the place. Or that he had anything to do with design or engineering.
Here's what he did: he was born into a slave-owning family and inherited millions of dollars. That's what he did.
thisoneisnotasbad t1_j8gdakg wrote
Pretty sure he was a billionaire before Tesla.
His PayPal sale to eBay gave him enough money to make his other ventures household names.
So again, he made a product that was wanted (PayPal) and got rich.
ArkeryStarkery t1_j8gfyll wrote
You sure he made Paypal tho? You sure about that?
thisoneisnotasbad t1_j8hjf6a wrote
Well, he created x.com, the online bank which merged with the software company to create PayPal to get sold to eBay. So, he was 1/2 of PayPal.
So yeah, pretty sure he was a big part of PayPal.
ArkeryStarkery t1_j8j6h79 wrote
Again... "he created x.com" sure is the Elon-branded narrative!

You would have been downvoted anyway always cite sources when you can. At least make the knee jerk “that’s not true” less likely.
